Features for the Tensio Roof Drain Monitoring System

Roof Drain Monitoring App

Tensio sensors can determine if water is pooling or draining from a particular drain

By observing the level of the water around a drain at different times, Tensio's sensors are able to determine if the water is circulating well, thus indicating whether or not a maintenance operation is needed. 

Optimal Prevention via 3 Alert Levels

Roof drain clogging alert with the Tensio monitoring system

You can have peace of mind with Tensio! When the system detects an anomaly, the app will send you an alert. Then, you can plan a targeted intervention.

We have three levels of alerts. You will be warned:

  1. when the water level is abnormally high 24 hours after a rain,
  2. when water exceeds a customized critical threshold, such as the parapet, or
  3. when one or more sensors don't respond or match the others.

The Data is Compiled in the Tensio App

With the app, you will be able to see in real time the evolution of the water level around your roof drain and, by the same token, know if an anomaly requires intervention.

Roof Drain Monitoring App on Mobile Phones

Getting Started is Simple, Fast and Accessible

As soon as you receive your sensor kit, simply plug the gateway connection box somewhere inside your building, then go up to the roof and place the sensor near the drain by following the instructions provided in your kit. Your system will be operational once the configuration is completed on our web app. Then you are 100% autonomous. It’s that simple!
