Smart Solar Powered Gutter Monitoring Sensors

A Practical, Cost-Effective Solution for Commercial Roofs

Allbase gutter sensors are built on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, allowing drainage conditions to be monitored continuously without the complexity of hard-wired systems. Each unit operates as a self-contained device, collecting and transmitting data wirelessly in real time.

Powered by an integrated solar panel, the system requires no external power supply and minimal on-site infrastructure. This makes installation straightforward, reduces disruption and allows sensors to be deployed in locations where mains power or data cabling would be impractical or costly.

GS1 Gutter Sensor

The GS1 is designed with a fixed probe for monitoring of standard external and box gutters. Installed directly into the gutter run, it provides continuous detection of standing water and blockages, offering clear status updates and historical data via the platform.

GS2 Gutter Sensor

The GS2 has a magnetic cable probe that can be securely attached or mechanically fixed within the gutter. This design makes GS2 suitable for internal valley gutters, concealed drainage details, and complex roof configurations where traditional fixed probes are impractical.

Easy to Install

The solar-powered, wireless design removes the need for complicated installation and can be fitted to various commercial roof gutter types.

Always On

After installation, the gutter sensor continuously monitors water levels, detecting issues such as rising water levels and restricted flow in real time.

Low cost

The system lowers installation and operational costs, enabling constant monitoring without the usual expense and complexity of traditional methods.

Real-Time Alerts and Notifications

Allbase gutter sensors immediately alert teams to abnormal drainage, like restricted flow, blockages, or prolonged ponding. Alerts can be sent via text message and email, ensuring the right people are informed promptly.

Text message

Critical conditions can trigger immediate SMS alerts to maintenance teams, facilities managers or duty engineers.

Email Alerts

Detailed email notifications provide contextual information about the alert, including location, condition type and severity.

Gutter Monitoring Software Dashboard

Designed for facilities managers, property owners and maintenance teams, the interface displays complex data in a straightforward, easy-to-understand format. Status indicators provide a quick overview of whether gutters are functioning normally, while detailed graphs enable review of historical trends over days, weeks or months. The platform is fully accessible on desktop, tablet and mobile devices, allowing users to check system status, review performance data or respond to alerts from anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered the most common questions about our gutter sensor systems. Designed for commercial buildings and complex roof layouts, the system combines dependable hardware with an intuitive software platform to support proactive maintenance and early issue detection. If your question isn’t answered below, please contact our team, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How do the gutter sensors work?

While external sensors detect rain, the main sensor measures water levels in the gutter system and identifies when normal flow is disrupted. When water begins to back up due to debris or blockages, the system logs this change and reports it via the online dashboard.

What problems do the sensors help prevent?

Early detection helps minimise the risk of gutter overflow, water ingress, façade staining, and internal leaks caused by prolonged standing water.

Are they suitable for commercial buildings?

Yes. The system is designed for commercial and multi-occupancy buildings such as offices, warehouses, retail units, schools, and healthcare facilities where gutter access is difficult or costly.

Can they be used on internal or valley gutters?

Yes. The GS2 gutter sensor is specially designed for internal and valley gutter applications. Unlike the GS1 with its fixed probe, the GS2 can be mounted away from standing water, with a flexible probe positioned directly within the gutter. This provides greater installation flexibility, easier mounting on complex roof layouts, and more reliable monitoring in areas where access is limited.

How is the data accessed?

Data is accessed via a secure online interface, accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Live status indicators and historical trends can be viewed at any time.

Do the sensors replace the need for cleaning?

No. The sensors do not replace maintenance, but they make it more targeted by identifying when and where intervention is truly needed.

How much do the gutter sensors cost?

Pricing is based on a per-unit cost, with discounts available for larger volumes. A monthly subscription provides access to the software platform. Pricing varies depending on quantities, so please contact us for a customised quotation.

Can multiple buildings be monitored from one account?

Yes. Multiple sensors and locations can be monitored via a single dashboard, making the system suitable for estates and property portfolios.
