Water damage is among the most frequent insurance claims in Canada. A properly installed detection system locates the leak, automatically shuts off the water supply and alerts our monitoring station, all within seconds.
GMS Security is a certified NOWA installer in Gatineau-Ottawa. We install the NOWA 4S system for single-family homes, condos and multi-residential towers.
The NOWA 4S system is a fourth-generation solution for water damage prevention. It combines an improved design, advanced features and enhanced security, delivering a simplified user experience.
NOWA 4S provides precise leak detection and control, with a built-in screen for intuitive use. Its hybrid LTE and Wi-Fi infrastructure guarantees optimal reliability and service continuity, without requiring complex installations.
NOWA systems detect water leaks as soon as they appear and automatically shut off the water supply to prevent damage.
NOWA detects and controls water leaks. By the time it notifies you of an incident, the worst has already been prevented. You can sleep peacefully or leave home with complete peace of mind.
Built-in low-temperature detector When you’re away, NOWA also monitors the ambient temperature of your home. If it drops below 5°C, the water supply valve closes automatically to prevent pipe damage.
NOWA is the first brand recognized by insurers for its outstanding reliability. It is also the only water detection solution PREVCAN-certified on the market — a certification that the vast majority of insurers require in order to grant a premium reduction.
Repeated water damage claims can cause premiums to skyrocket and drain a co-ownership’s self-insurance fund. As premiums and deductibles rise, a condominium’s financial situation can become unsustainable.
The vast majority of insurers reduce premiums when a NOWA system is installed. You benefit from immediate savings, while also stabilizing your expenses over the medium and long term.
As an owner, you don’t want a leak from a neighbour’s unit causing damage in your condo. Just as you don’t want to be responsible for damage in someone else’s home. Here is what NOWA offers you:
