Toronto, Canada - International Leak Detection (ILD) and PROGEO Monitoring GmbH today announced their strategic alliance to deliver the Smartex® MX system to the North American roofing and waterproofing market. 

 

Smartex® is an intelligent flat roof monitoring system that tracks the integrity of waterproofing systems 24 hours a day. When a rupture occurs, Smartex® immediately detects it and issues an alert. The system also pinpoints the location of the leak, eliminating the need for a search and allowing for quick repair. 

 

“With the demand for smart buildings, the roofing and waterproofing market has been searching for a system that can truly provide 24-hour, on-demand access to their roofing and waterproofing assets,” says Chris Eichhorn, President & CEO of ILD. “Smartex® is the system we’ve been waiting for.” 

 

Developed by PROGEO Monitoring in Berlin, Germany, Smartex® is the only product of its kind on the market. Robust and durable sensors, designed to meet the demands of the construction environment, are combined with high-performance cloud solutions to produce secure and reliable information. Clients can easily access this information using a PC, tablet or smart phone. 

 

Smartex® also has the benefit of monitoring in all weather conditions. In the case of an extreme weather event, clients no longer have to worry about whether or not the integrity of their flat roof was compromised. Smartex® will provide instant, up-to-date information. 

 

“Smartex® can reduce long-term flat roof maintenance costs by up to 70 percent,” says Andreas Rödel, founder and CEO of PROGEO Monitoring GmhB. “It is a well-known fact that flat roofs will leak at some point. PROGEO’s intelligent monitoring technology will detect issues large or small and allow you to respond. It puts the control in your hands.”
