Reliable moisture monitoring in timber construction with ProGeo® smartex®

Protect your wooden buildings from moisture damage.

Timber struc­tures are parti­cu­larly suscep­tible to moisture damage, which can compromise struc­tural integrity and lead to premature renovation cases. With the ProGeo® smartex® systems for timber buildings, we offer an advanced solution for compre­hensive monitoring, from the basement to the roof, and thus protect your valuable timber struc­tures.

Roof

ProGeo® checks the moisture and water­pro­ofing of your timber construction in real time.

Construction

Water can accumulate in facades, ceilings, and cavities. ProGeo® protects your structure from damage with point and strip sensors.

Wet room

Under wet rooms such as bathrooms and toilets, errors in construction can quickly lead to water in the construction. Humidity sensors from ProGeo® detect these faults at an early stage.

Basement

The sensitive wooden construc­tions in the basement have to be protected from moisture for decades. A leakage would result in immense costs. It can be avoided by smartex® systems from ProGeo®.

Solutions for
timber construction

The ProGeo® product portfolio ranges from simple point sensors for cavities to sophisti­cated seal control systems

Smartex® MX

Ideal for flat roofs, green roofs and solar roofs from 250 m²

The smartex® mx system uses sensor technology and electro­im­pe­dance-based measu­rement technology. A sensor matrix with a conductive contact position is installed under the roof water­pro­ofing. A counter electrode on the seal forms an electric field when wet. In the event of a leak, a compen­sating current flows into the contact layer. The sensor matrix measures these changes in real time and transmits the data to the ProGeo® monitoring portal. In this way, leaks are detected immediately and localized with high precision.

  • Direct metro­lo­gical monitoring of the water­pro­ofing
  • Real-time capable
  • Full-Area Monitoring
  • Exact leak location
  • Physical proof of tightness
  • Immediate leakage detection

Ideal for small roof areas, balconies and dormers as well as complex roofs­capes in archi­tec­tu­rally demanding buildings

The smartex® is product range offers optimal protection for smaller areas where an appro­ximate location of the leak is suffi­cient. The sensor cable is installed with a conductive fleece under the seal. A counter electrode is installed on the seal. A measuring and evaluation unit on the roof or in the building transmits the data to the monitoring portal.

Band Sensors

Ideal for raised floors, wet rooms, sloping roofs, roofs with a low risk profile and moisture-sensitive buildings

smartex® dm strip sensors can be used flexibly, whether as a single sensor in narrow components or in a parallel arran­gement for monitoring large areas. In conjunction with the ProGeo® Monitoring Portal, smartex® dm enables meaningful trend analyses to assess moisture develo­p­ments in the component as a result of leaks, accidents or hygro­thermal malfunc­tions.

  • Area-by-area monitoring
  • Real-time capable
  • Temporal and spatial trends
  • Optio­nally also for humidity monitoring

Point sensors in the roof structure

Ideal for retro­fitting flat roofs

The smartex® io point sensor detects moisture in warm roofs and non-visible components in real time. The basis is an innovative sensor head that reaches up to the vapor barrier and conti­nuously converts the humidity state from absolutely dry to completely soaked into an analog signal. Moisture develo­p­ments and distri­bu­tions in the component are thus described precisely and compa­rably. Optio­nally, the sensors can be expanded with tempe­rature and humidity measu­rement in the component.

  • Selective moisture measu­rement
  • Temporal and spatial trends
  • Real-time capable

Sensor mats

Ideal for floor struc­tures of wet rooms, water supply routes, under­floor heating, special indus­trial appli­ca­tions

smartex® sp sensor mats consist of a two-layer composite sensor that reliably detects moisture over the entire sensor surface. The sensor mats are parti­cu­larly suitable for appli­ca­tions where moisture escapes over a small area and in small quantities, without conven­tional point or tape sensors being able to reliably detect it. Such undetected leaks can cause major damage locally, e.g. in timber construction, in facing shells with water-bearing instal­la­tions, under heating circuit distri­butors or in supply shafts.

  • Real-time capable
  • All-over
  • Detects even minimal humidity
  • Temporal trends

Web-based
Monitoring Portal

In the web-based monitoring portal, all system data is aggre­gated and processed centrally. Here you can find out about the condition of your property at any time and analyze the data compre­hen­sively after an alarm message.

    Easy to manage

    In the user-friendly online system, you can maintain master data easily, configure notifi­ca­tions indivi­dually and control your monitoring data centrally.

    Alarm status and action monitoring

    Check active alarms and track your roof dehumi­di­fi­cation effici­ently and accurately after repair.

    Data analysis and visua­lization

    Analyze moisture develo­pment over time series and precisely identify critical moisture penetration with clear heat maps.

    Instant status overview

    Keep an eye on the condition of your roof – thanks to always up-to-date data, you can immediately see whether your roof is leak-proof.
