Eddy Solutions

A badly installed fixture could have leaked for months. It was isolated the same day.

A resident-added fixture was not seated properly and began a slow leak under a bathroom sink, with no one to report it. Eddy detected the water near the sink, the source was identified as an installation defect, and the leak was isolated the same day with no spread.

The challenge

Some leaks are not equipment failures, they are installation defects. A resident adds a fixture, an attachment is not seated properly, and a slow leak begins under the vanity. No one reports it, because no one knows it is there.

These are exactly the small, hidden problems that go unnoticed until they become a repair bill. A property manager cannot inspect inside every cabinet in an occupied building, and a fixture a resident installed is not on anyone's maintenance schedule. Left alone, a slow under-sink leak works into the cabinet, the floor, and eventually the suite below.

The solution

Eddy placed 3-in-1 sensors at high-risk fixture points, including under bathroom sinks. When water appeared near the sink, the sensor detected it and triggered an alert automatically, even though the resident had not reported any problem.

The 24/7 Monitoring Center followed up so the on-site team could take action. The property team confirmed the source was an improperly installed bidet attachment, isolated the leak, and closed the local valve, with no spread to other suites.

Coverage

Monitored high-risk areas

  • In-suite bathroom
  • Under-sink fixture connections
  • High-risk fixture points

Functionality

  • Water escape detection with 3-in-1 sensors
  • Automated alerts with precise location
  • 24/7 Monitoring Center follow-up

Outcome

The system does not care why the water is there. A fixture defect a resident never reported gets caught the same as any other leak, which means the slow under-sink losses that usually surface as a repair bill are found and isolated while they are still minor.
