A leak on a floor still being built. The water zone shut off in the same second.

Water risk peaks during construction. Piping is open, trades are working in parallel, and the building sits empty after hours with no residents to notice anything. A leak in concealed bathroom piping during the build can damage finished work, ruin drywall and millwork, and push the schedule.

For a general contractor, water during construction is not just a cleanup cost. It is rework on finishes that were already complete, and lost days on a timeline that has no slack. A concealed leak on a floor still being built can run all night before the first crew arrives.

Eddy deployed course-of-construction protection on the site, with sensors at high-risk points and automatic zone-valve shutoff active during the build. When a sensor detected moisture from concealed bathroom piping, the system automatically shut off the unit's associated water zone valves in the same second. The flow stopped immediately.

On-site staff confirmed a minor leak and contained the source. Repairs were scheduled with no impact to other suites, building systems, or the construction timeline. The protection that guarded the build will carry forward into operations once the building is occupied.

Real-time detection and automatic shutoff protect value and schedule during the riskiest phase of a building's life, before anyone has moved in. Because the water zone shut off the same second the leak was detected, a concealed piping leak on an active construction floor never touched the finished work around it.
