What Assek Technologie does

Assek Technologie (legal entity ASSEK TECHNOLOGIE BLAIS-LANDRY INC.) is a Quebec-based private company founded in 1979 that specializes in water damage prevention and non-destructive remediation for commercial and institutional buildings. The company operates a vertically integrated business combining proprietary hardware (LoRaWAN-connected water leak detectors such as the WL103, motorized shutoff valves MBV110, and environmental sensors), its Oblik SaaS platform for centralized building monitoring, alerts, and automation, and a professional services arm delivering the patented Secur-Air non-destructive drying method. The drying technology — which the company claims is 80% faster, 70% more economical, and 98% more ecological than traditional demolition-based remediation — is the foundational IP and a key differentiator in healthcare and heritage-building contexts where relocation is impractical.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to property managers, building owners, and institutions across Quebec, with named customers including the Quebec Ministry of Education (50,000 sensors deployed), CHU de Québec, Université de Montréal, Assemblée nationale du Québec, Germain Hotels (5-property rollout by 2026), Fairmont Château Frontenac, and the CISSS/CIUSSS healthcare network. Revenue is generated across three streams: IoT hardware sales, Oblik platform subscriptions, and professional drying services. Vertical specialization is pronounced — condo associations (where Bill 16 regulatory compliance drives demand), healthcare (PCI-compliant interventions), hospitality, seniors' residences, schools, insurance, and commercial/institutional — each with dedicated go-to-market motions and trade association partnerships (AQGC, AHRQ, AHGM).

The business is run by a small team of 11–50 employees across two offices in Lévis (HQ) and Montréal. A 2026 CEO transition from founder Guillaume Blais to Charles-François Richard signals an explicit pivot toward accelerated growth, supported by active hiring for field technicians and ongoing product investment in the Oblik platform (visual rule engine, diagnostic reports) and the WL103 sensor family. Ownership remains private and family-held with no disclosed institutional capital.

Core offering

Assek Technologie provides IoT-based water damage prevention systems and patented non-destructive building drying services for commercial, institutional, healthcare, hospitality, education, and multi-residential properties. The company combines the Oblik SaaS platform with LoRaWAN-connected sensors (water leak detectors, smart valves, air quality monitors) and the Secur project-management software to deliver an end-to-end prevention, monitoring, and remediation solution for water damage in buildings.

Product overview

Assek Technologie offers a comprehensive IoT and building technology portfolio centered on water damage prevention and non-destructive drying. The core offering combines the Oblik IoT platform (web application for real-time monitoring, automation, and fleet management) with a diverse range of LoRaWAN-connected sensors for leak detection, air quality, temperature, humidity, pressure, noise, and presence. Complementary hardware includes smart valves (MBV110), gateways (UG63, UG65), and control devices. The company also provides the patented non-destructive drying service with supporting software Secur and Secur-Air technology, plus Assekur for autonomous minor incident handling. The Environmental Control Service adds temporary monitoring for construction projects. The portfolio is delivered across vertical-specific solutions for condos, healthcare, hospitality, schools, insurance, and commercial/institutional sectors.

Direct peers

• Phyn: Phyn (a Belkin-owned brand) offers smart water leak detection with automatic shutoff under-sink units and whole-home monitoring, paired with a software platform. It is the most direct consumer/prosumer analog to Assek's leak detection + shutoff valve + Oblik platform stack, although its primary market is U.S. residential.
• Flo by Moen: Flo by Moen provides smart water monitoring and automatic shutoff devices targeted at residential and light commercial buildings, with a connected app for consumption and leak alerts. Comparable to Assek's leak detection and valve shutoff business, though focused downstream on U.S. consumers rather than Quebec institutions.
• Alert Labs: Alert Labs is a Canadian company offering IoT water and energy sensors for multifamily, commercial, and institutional buildings with a monitoring dashboard. It is a direct competitor in the same geography as Assek (Canada), with overlapping sensor-to-platform architecture but a narrower service offering.
• Sentinel Hydrosolutions: Sentinel Hydrosolutions provides connected automatic water shutoff systems for multifamily residential and student housing, with a focus on insurance-loss mitigation. It is comparable to Assek's condo and seniors' residence verticals and competes for the same insurance-driven demand.
• Utopia Smart Buildings: Utopia provides IoT-based building monitoring for water leaks, air quality, and energy in multifamily and commercial buildings. Directly comparable to Assek's Oblik platform and LoRaWAN sensor stack across the same customer verticals (condos, institutional).

Broad incumbents

• Resideo (Honeywell Home): Resideo distributes Honeywell Home water leak detectors, automatic shutoff valves, and whole-home monitoring under a major HVAC/security incumbent. Comparable to Assek on product category (leak detection, valves, monitored platform) but operates at vastly larger scale across residential and light commercial North America.
• SERVPRO: SERVPRO is the largest North American water damage restoration and drying franchise network. Comparable to Assek's professional drying services and Assekur equipment line, but SERVPRO's traditional approach involves demolition rather than non-destructive drying, and its geographic reach vastly exceeds Assek's.

Emerging players

• LeakSmart: LeakSmart offers water leak detection sensors and automatic shutoff valves integrated with smart home hubs. It overlaps with Assek's WL103/MBV110 product category but is positioned primarily for residential deployments in the U.S. market.
• Airthings: Airthings specializes in indoor air quality sensors (CO2, radon, particulates) with a subscription dashboard, primarily for schools, offices, and homes. Overlaps with Assek's AM-series and EM-series air quality monitors deployed in the MEQ school contract, but with a different primary use case (health vs. water damage).
• 75F: 75F offers IoT building automation including air quality, temperature, and occupancy sensors for commercial buildings with a cloud management platform. Comparable to Assek's broader connected buildings solutions and Oblik platform, though 75F's primary focus is HVAC optimization rather than water damage prevention.
