Awaab’s Law: Best Leak, Smoke, and Mould Detection for Homes

Leak, Smoke & Mould Detection Systems for Home Safety 

Keeping your home safe isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your family’s health and complying with new UK housing standards. After the tragic death of Awaab Ishak, caused by mould exposure in social housing, the UK government introduced Awaab’s Law to set strict requirements on identifying and fixing hazards like damp, mould, and poor indoor air quality. 

Smart Leak Detection in the UK 

Leaks can cause structural damage, trigger mould growth, and increase the risk of electrical faults or fire. With HaloSmart IoT’s leak detection system, you get real-time alerts the moment moisture is detected. Strategically placed sensors in kitchens, bathrooms, or utility areas help protect against long-term water damage. Smart leak sensors are particularly vital for legacy assets, where older plumbing may pose unseen risks. 

In addition to alerting users, our system offers automated responses. Should a leak be detected, the system can automatically shut down appliances or equipment, such as power to a plug, preventing further risk of appliance failure or electrical hazards. For example, if water reaches vulnerable components of an appliance, it could trigger an automatic shutdown to avoid complete failure. Additionally, users can set the system to activate devices like drain pipe valves to mitigate potential damage and help manage the situation in real-time. 

Best Features: 

• Real-time leak alerts via connected apps 

• Seamless integration with broader smart building systems 

• Automated appliance shutdowns or valve activations to prevent further damage 

• Preventative notifications before leaks become costly repairs 

Smart Smoke Detection Systems 

A fire can spread in seconds—but with smart smoke detection, you gain crucial time to respond. HaloSmart IoT offers smart smoke alarms that provide instant alerts, including remote notifications when you’re not home. 

These smoke detection systems go beyond the basics—helping UK households meet and exceed fire safety standards. While the alarms are independent and trigger alerts only in their specific location, they are still ideal for multi-level properties and HMO landlords, ensuring comprehensive coverage across the premises. 

Monitoring Air Quality for Healthier Living 

Poor indoor air quality has been linked to respiratory problems and long-term health issues, especially for children and elderly residents. With HaloSmart IoT’s air quality monitoring devices, you can continuously monitor harmful pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and humidity levels. 

These devices represent the best air quality monitors for home use—providing insights to help maintain healthy environments and avoid conditions conducive to mould growth. 

Benefits include: 

• Real-time monitoring of humidity, CO₂, and air pollutants 

• Early warning before damp and mould become visible 

• Data to support compliance with health and safety regulations 

Smart Integration and Compliance with Awaab’s Law 

Smart building technologies offered by HaloSmart IoT support early hazard detection and proactive intervention. This aligns closely with Awaab’s Law, which demands faster response times and greater transparency from landlords. 

Using property monitoring solutions to track leak alerts, smoke events, and air quality trends means hazards can be addressed before they escalate. For landlords, this ensures readiness for upcoming regulation phases—from October 2025 to full HHSRS alignment by 2027. 

Integrated benefits: 

• One dashboard for all sensor data 

• Improved decision-making with real-time insights 

• Historical logs for compliance audits and insurance purposes 

Secure Your Home Now—Before It Becomes a Legal Requirement 

Awaab’s Law may currently focus on social landlords, but its principles are a wake-up call for all homeowners and landlords across the UK. Adopting smart home sensors like those from HaloSmart IoT allows you to stay ahead of legislation and prioritise health and safety. 

With smart leak detection, smoke alarms, and the most accurate air quality monitors, you’re not just complying with emerging standards—you’re protecting what matters most: your home and your family. e and your family.
