Detect leaks with moisture sensors
Moisture sensors are the first line of defence against costly building damage. Tector’s innovative moisture sensors provide real-time monitoring and actionable insights to protect your investment and ensure long-term durability.
Get started
Detect leaks before they become costly problems
Moisture can go unnoticed for months until it starts damaging your structure. That’s where Tector comes in. Our discreet, wireless moisture sensors are built to detect leaks early, long before they escalate into costly repairs.
With continuous moisture detection and instant alerts, you’ll know exactly when and where action is needed. Tector keeps your buildings dry, safe and built to last.
Stop walking around with moisture meters
Manual moisture meters and checklists are time-consuming and easy to miss. Tector’s system simplifies it all with just three steps:

Benefits of Tector's moisture detection system
Just like we run a multi-layered data analysis on moisture measurements, we also have multiple alarm types to ensure we cover all potential issues with built in redundancy.
25-year lifespan
With up to 25 years of battery life, you won’t need replacements anytime soon.
Easy to install
Compact and rugged, our sensors for moisture fit where you need them.
Real time insights
Your data is live.
Log in anytime to see what’s happening on site right now.
Save time and cost
Forget site visits just to check on conditions. Focus your time where it’s needed.
Built to last
Durable hardware and no maintenance required. A system you can count on.
Why early moisture detection matters
Tector’s roof sensors and wood sensors give you peace of mind. By catching moisture early, you avoid mould growth, material degradation, and insurance claims.
And it’s not just about damage every leak prevented means fewer resources wasted and less embodied carbon lost. Smarter moisture detection is part of building sustainably.

FAQs
Is there any maintenance needed for the moisture sensors?
No, there's no need nce. After you installed the sensor, you can sit back and relax and enjoy the data you’re about to receive. Learn more about the data
What is the lifetime of Tector moisture sensor?
The sensor is produced to last up to 25 years.
How moist resistant is the sensor itself?
The sensors are resistant to high moisture as they are PCB protected.
Ingress protection (IP) rating:
- Flat roof sensor Gen 2: IP 54
- Wood sensor Gen 2: IP 67
How precise and accurate is the sensor?
Wood moisture content: +/- 1% (accurate within 7–27% range) *
Relative humidity: ±2% RH (accurate within 10–90% range).
Temperature: +/-1°C (accurate within -20°C to 60°C)
Measurements extend beyond this range but with reduced accuracy.
Read more in the Data sheet for Flat roofs & Data sheet for Timber.
What is the connectivity of the Tectors sensor?
LoRa protocol that is widely supported and has growing coverage. Long Range communication at extremely low power consumption. Gateways cover a radius of up to 500 meters.
What if I need to set up the sensor in a hard to access place?
No problem, the sensor can be extended with wires.
How do I set up moisture sensors?
Setup takes just a few minutes.
- Gateway: Plug it in and it’s ready.
- Wood sensor: Fix it in place with two screws.
- Flat roof sensor: Cut an 11 cm round hole in the insulation (slightly larger than the sensor) and place the sensor inside.
- Registration: Scan the QR code on the sensor. This takes you directly to our system, no app needed. In just a few clicks, your sensor is registered and fully operational.
How big is the moisture sensor?
Tector's moisture sensor is a discreet, small sensor that can be installed anywhere.
- Flat roof sensor Gen 2: Height 3.3 cm, diameter 9.8 cm
- Wood sensor Gen 2: Height 2.8 cm, diameter 10 cm
What is the difference between a moisture logger and a sensor?
A moisture logger saves each moisture measurement locally on the logger often using an SD card or similar which later can be retrieved manually and transferred to a computer for analysis etc. The sensor will transfer the measurement to the cloud immediately making each measurement available in real-time and removes any storage limitations e.g. an SD card could have. With sensors you can access realtime data via a convenient dashboard and dont need to walk around with moisture loggers anymore.
