A pressure-relief valve failed at 12:18 AM. The building never knew the difference.
A boiler-room pressure-relief valve failed in the middle of the night, with no one in the building to see it. Eddy detected the leak at 12:18 AM, reached the concierge within minutes, and the failed valve was isolated before water reached any occupied space.

- Document alert response performance
- Standardize 24/7 monitoring response
The challenge
Mechanical rooms hold the highest-pressure water in the building, and almost no one is in them at night. A pressure-relief valve failure on a boiler can release water continuously for hours, and the first sign anyone would normally get is a flooded floor on the morning round. By then the damage is done and the cleanup has started.
The risk is not just the water. It is the gap between when a failure starts and when a human happens to find it. On an occupied residential property, an overnight mechanical failure that runs unchecked can reach suites, elevators and electrical rooms long before the first staff member arrives.
The solution
Eddy placed sensors in the boiler room and connected them to a 24/7 Monitoring Center, so the room is watched even when the building is empty. When the pressure-relief valve failed at 12:18 AM, the system detected water immediately and sent an automated alert carrying the precise location to the building team and the Monitoring Center at the same time.
A live operator followed up within minutes to make sure the alert was actioned, reaching the building's concierge. On-site staff located the failed valve, isolated it, and resolved the issue before water reached any occupied space. The overnight failure became a quiet fix instead of a morning emergency.
Coverage
Monitored high-risk areas
- Boiler room
- Mechanical spaces
- Common areas
Functionality
- Water escape detection in mechanical spaces
- 24/7 Monitoring Center follow-up
- Automated alerts with precise location
Outcome
The leaks that turn into catastrophes are the ones no one is awake to see. Because the system was watching at 12:18 AM and a live operator followed the alert through to the building team, a pressure-relief valve failure that could have flooded floors overnight was isolated and resolved before it touched an occupied space.
