Non-invasive IoT monitoring that catches tank backups and drain field failures early. Saves homeowners and businesses $5,000–$25,000+ in septic repair costs through two-point sensing on the outside of the pipes.
2-Point Monitoring: Tank and Drain Field Diagnostics
Every year, 270,000 septic systems fail across Florida, causing devastating financial losses, environmental damage, and health hazards. Property owners wake up to sewage backups with no warning, facing emergency repairs that cost thousands.
*Repair costs vary widely based on system type, location, and extent of damage. Commerical repair cost can be $50,000+
TankSense uses non-invasive capacitive sensors to monitor your septic system at two critical points: the inlet pipe entering the tank, and the outlet pipe leading to the drain field. Sensors bond to the outside of the PVC pipe with no tank entry, and no permits. Cloud-based analytics detect problems weeks before catastrophic failure.
Identify issues 2-4 weeks before failure occurs
Real-time notifications to your smartphone
No tank entry, no permits. Bonds to the outside of the pipe with PVC cement — like a normal pipe joint.
Machine learning prevents false alarms
Cellular Connectivity
Powered by in-house capacitive sensing technology, TankSense monitors water level inside the pipe without ever touching it. Solar-powered, cellular-connected, and designed to live outdoors for years. Our breakthrough approach combines proven hardware with novel detection methods.
Custom membrane sensor detects water level changes through the pipe wall with no moving parts to clog or fail.
Solar panel + LiPo battery keeps the hub running outdoors year-round. No wiring, no scheduled battery swaps.
NB-IoT/LTE-M cellular provides 97%+ US coverage, even in remote areas without WiFi. No customer network setup required.
All pattern detection happens server-side, cross-referenced with local weather data. Detection algorithms improve over time without firmware updates to installed units.
Sensor bonds to the outside of the pipe and never touches the septic system itself. Florida DEP has confirmed in writing that TankSense falls outside their jurisdiction.
No tank penetration. The sensor bonds permanently to the outside of the pipe with PVC cement, the same chemistry as a standard pipe joint.
TankSense can pay for itself within the first couple of years many times over by preventing just one emergency repair. See the dramatic cost difference:
