Protect collections that cannot be replaced.
Water damage to a museum or library is not measured in repair invoices. It is measured in collections loss, closures and the conservation work that follows. Eddy's monitoring center watches storage areas no human visits for hours and escalates the moment water reaches a sensor.
Trusted across the platform
Backed by an active monitoring program, not a marketing deck.
Active devices, prevented damage and claims-affecting coverage, audited every year against the loss runs.
Protect collections with Eddy
Storage areas watched 24/7
Reduce conservator workload
Sensors near plumbing pathways and below-grade storage
Documentation for funders and insurers
Coverage built around collections
Tier 01
Collection storage
Pipes, drainage and HVAC condensate near holdings. Sensors at floor level and along plumbing pathways.
Tier 02
Mechanical above collections
HVAC and boiler leaks drip through floor slabs. Smart meters with floor sensors and zone shutoff.
Tier 03
Roof drainage
Penetrations and drainage failures threaten upper-level holdings. Flow monitoring on roof drains.
Tier 04
Galleries and exhibitions
Concealed pipes near display walls. Perimeter sensors with 24/7 monitoring.
Many of the largest risks are invisible
Pipes run near stacks. HVAC condensate sits above irreplaceable archives. Below-grade storage carries cascading risk from any failure on the floors above. The cost of a single event ranges from $30K for a localized gallery leak to unquantifiable for a major collections loss. Eddy's sensors find water before it reaches the holdings.
- Water does not wait for opening hours. Most events strike when storage is unattended
- Localized gallery leak: $30K-$80K. Storage or archive event: $100K-$500K
- Major collections loss: unquantifiable in repair invoices
- Concealed pipe leaks average $111,600 in damage when undetected
Storage areas go unvisited for hours
A leak in a quiet basement does not announce itself. The conservator who would notice the water is upstairs, off-site or asleep. Eddy's monitoring center is the always-on observer, with operators who escalate to facilities, security and the conservator on call within minutes of the alert.
- Sensors at floor level near every plumbing pathway
- Above-ceiling sensors at HVAC junctions and condensate pans
- Roof drain monitoring with anomaly detection
- Role-based escalation to facilities, conservation and security
Documentation that supports funders and insurers
Cultural institutions answer to boards, governments, donors and insurers. Every Eddy event closes with a Leak Incident Report capturing detection time, response actions and outcomes, providing the documented evidence trail that supports renewal conversations, grant applications and conservation reporting.
- Leak Incident Reports formatted for institutional review
- Premium savings of up to 20%, with deductible reductions of up to 80% documented at individual properties documented
- Single dashboard rolls up devices, incidents and outcomes

How Eddy works in your building.
Three layers, one solution. Turn the building to see where sensors, meters and valves sit, then run a leak through the system, from the first drop to the monitoring center's response.
Occupied building · Business hours
Drag to turn the building. Select a label, or run a leak through the system.
The system
Detect, control and respond, in one managed program.
Sensors sit where leaks start and meters watch the flow. Valves close on the rules you set, and a 24/7 monitoring center follows each alert until your team has eyes on it.
3 layers and 15 close-ups in this building
Detect
Two ways to find a leak before it finds a unit.
Sensors sit where leaks start, and meters watch the flow for the leaks no sensor can reach.

Point-of-leak
Flow-based
More about Detect
Eddy detects water through two layers running in parallel. Point-of-leak sensors sit where leaks happen: common areas and mechanical rooms (including elevator pits), inside suites at high-risk appliances, and behind walls at the risers that hide damage until cascade. Flow-based detection runs continuously at meters across the building, flagging continuous low flow, continuous use and extreme use against thresholds learned from your building's baseline.
- 3-in-1 sensors detect water, temperature and humidity
- Three flow thresholds, learned per building, not generic defaults
- Sensors are permitted near sprinkler infrastructure; valves are not

More about Control
Detection without action is just an alert. Every sensor or meter event can trigger a valve, automatically on threshold or remotely from the dashboard. Eddy IQ is the all-in-one meter and valve for ¾"–1" lines. Eddy Link drives shutoff valves up to 18" for everything larger, provisioned and configured by Eddy.
- Eddy IQ at ¾"–1": combined meter + valve in one unit
- Eddy Link + motorized valves at mains, zones, risers, hydronics (up to 18")
- Fire mains and sprinkler systems excluded by design for life safety

What happens in a leak, step by step
- A supply line fails in a washroom one floor above a gallery.
- Eddy H2O on the washroom floor detects water and sends the alert over LoRaWAN.
- The building's gateway relays it. Facilities and the 24/7 monitoring center are alerted at the same time.
- A shutoff rule closes the washroom's Eddy IQ valve. The water stops at the source.
- An operator confirms the alert and calls facilities and the collections team through the escalation protocol.
Automatic shutoff is configured per building. Some sites use operator-coordinated isolation instead.
More about Respond
Eddy's 24/7 monitoring center confirms every alert, escalates per your contact list and stays on the line until the water is off and the on-site team has eyes on it.
- Configurable automation rules per zone and time of day
- Trained operators on duty 24/7
- Escalation: automation → property manager → emergency contact, on your list
- Submetering and consumption data for billing, conservation and ESG reporting

Flow-based
More about Detect
The best time to place a sensor behind a wall is before the wall closes. Eddy goes in during construction to install the same operational-grade detection your building will run on for the next decade: sensors at common areas and mechanical rooms, concealed sensors at risers and HVAC sources you'll never be able to retrofit this easily again, plus construction-specific coverage at active high-risk zones, ambient climate monitoring during temperature and humidity swings, and optional fire main flow monitoring for unintended sprinkler discharge.
- Same 3-bucket sensor placement as operational buildings (common · in-suite · concealed)
- Riser and HVAC sensors placed pre-drywall, no later retrofit needed
- Construction-only overlays: high-risk zone sensors, climate anomalies, fire main flow monitoring

Control
Stop the cascade before the crew gets the call.
Valves close on the lines most likely to fail, and schedule mode shuts the main when the crew leaves.
5 close-ups · select one to zoom in
More about Control
Automatic shutoff on the lines most likely to fail during construction: domestic main, temporary water supply, hydronic make-up. Schedule mode closes the valve when the trades leave and opens it when work resumes. A daily after-hours guardrail aimed at the 2 AM peak when most leaks happen and the site is empty.
- Eddy Link + motorized valve on the domestic main (sized to pipe)
- Eddy IQ on ¾"–1" lines (temp construction water and H&C make-up)
- Domestic zone valves added at the Unlimited tier
- Fire mains excluded by design (monitoring permitted, see DETECT pillar)

What happens in a leak, step by step
- A fitting lets go on a charged riser, several floors up.
- Eddy H2O on the slab detects water, and the meter on the domestic main sees the flow jump.
- The alert reaches the site team and the 24/7 monitoring center at the same time.
- The domestic main closes on the project's shutoff rule.
- An operator coordinates live with the superintendent until the crew has eyes on it.
Shutoff rules are set per project, per zone and per time of day.
More about Respond
Eddy's monitoring center is on the line from the first valve install. Every alert is confirmed by a trained operator and coordinated live with the superintendent, not left on voicemail. When the building reaches occupancy, the service continues with the same team. No handoff to figure out, no system to redeploy.
- Operators coordinate live with on-site superintendent
- Same monitoring center carries through to occupancy
