An automatic water shut-off valve that closes before the damage spreads
Eddy's shut-off valve closes the water automatically on a confirmed leak, or on a remote command from anywhere, on everything from a single suite to a building main.
What an automatic water shut-off valve is
An automatic water shut-off valve is a motorized valve that closes your water line the moment a sensor or flow meter detects a leak, stopping damage before anyone is on site. In large buildings it is driven by a controller such as Eddy Link and verified by a monitoring team.
The trigger does not have to be a puddle. Eddy's smart meters flag irregular flow, like continuous draw that never stops or water moving when the building should be quiet, and preset business rules such as no water flow after hours close the valve on their own. The meter detects, the valve acts and the monitoring team verifies and escalates.
Shutoff that matches how the building fails
Detection only matters if the water actually stops. Eddy pairs leak detection with an automatic shut-off valve that closes on a confirmed event, so a slow supply-line leak or a burst riser does not run for hours before anyone reacts.
Eddy supplies its own valves and sizes them to the building, from per-unit shutoff with Eddy IQ to building-main and riser valves driven by Eddy Link. You set whether a valve closes automatically or waits for an operator's call.
How Eddy's shut-off valve works
Closes on a confirmed event
The valve shuts automatically when a leak is confirmed, or you can set it to wait for an operator's call.
Remote shutoff from anywhere
Close or open the water remotely from the dashboard, day or night, without a truck roll.
Sized for the whole building
Per-unit shutoff with Eddy IQ, building-main and riser valves with Eddy Link. Eddy supplies and installs the valves to fit the existing system.
Is it worth it for a large building?
In Eddy's 2025 portfolio, the average confirmed leak caused $64,200 in damage in multi-family buildings and $91,200 in commercial buildings, and 59% of events happened outside business hours, exactly when nobody is near a valve.
A monitored valve program costs a fraction of one water deductible, and construction-phase installs run 5 to 10x cheaper than post-occupancy remediation. The valve pays for itself the first time it closes on an after-hours event.

Automatic water shut-off valve FAQ
How does an automatic water shut-off valve work?
It closes the water supply when a leak is confirmed, either automatically on a rule you set or on a command from an operator. Eddy's valve can close a single suite, a riser or the building main, and you can also shut off remotely from the dashboard.
Does the valve close on its own or wait for a person?
Your choice. Set the valve to close automatically on a confirmed event, or to hold until the monitoring center reaches your on-call contact. The rules follow the building, not a one-size default.
Does Eddy replace our existing plumbing?
No. Eddy provisions, configures and installs the shut-off valves and meters, sized to fit the building's existing plumbing, with no teardown required.
Is an automatic water shut-off valve worth it for a commercial building?
Yes, and the math is short. The average confirmed commercial leak in Eddy's 2025 portfolio caused $91,200 in damage, most of it a function of how long the water ran. A valve that closes in seconds, backed by a 24/7 monitoring team, turns that exposure into a logged incident.
What are shutoff business rules?
Preset conditions that close the valve without waiting for a person: no water flow after hours, continuous-flow limits or extreme-flow thresholds. Eddy's smart meter watches the flow pattern, the valve acts on the rule and the monitoring team verifies and escalates every event.
