receiving, from a second sensor of the leak detection device, a second signal indicative of the water level at the location within the facility, wherein the second sensor is located a greater distance from a ground surface than the first sensor,

determining, based on the second signal, an open condition when the water level at the location within the facility has reached a second predetermined height and the shut-off signal has been transmitted to the at least one water inlet, and

transmitting, via the communication interface, an open command to a drain at the location, wherein a valve opens to allow water to flow down the drain in response to receiving the open command.

10. The server of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further include:

transmitting, to a remote device via the communication interface, a first indication indicating the water level at the location within the facility and a second indication indicating that a shut-off signal was transmitted to at least one water inlet.

11. The server of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include:

receiving, from the at least one water inlet via the communication interface, temperature and pressure data associated with the at least one water inlet prior to the shut-off signal,

determining, based on the temperature and pressure data, at least one variation in at least one of the temperature and the pressure of the water at the at least one water inlet, and

providing, to the remote device via the communication interface, an alert indicating the at least one variation.

12. The server of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include:

receiving, via the communication interface, a second signal from a roof drain that is installed at the location within the facility,

determining, via the communication interface, that the roof drain is experiencing one of an overflow condition and a leak condition, and

transmitting, to the remote device via the communication interface, a third indication indicating that the roof drain is experiencing one of the overflow condition and the leak condition.

13. The server of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further include:

determining, in response to determining that the roof drain is experiencing one of the overflow condition and the leak condition, that the roof drain caused the flooding.

14. The server of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further include:

providing, to a user interface of the remote device via the communication interface in response to transmitting the first indication, a marker that marks the location within the facility of the at least one water inlet that is causing the flooding.

a fixture;

a first sensor communicatively coupled to the fixture; and

a server, wherein the server comprises:

a communication interface configured to facilitate communication between the fixture and one or more devices which execute an application;
