A leak near the boiler tanks. Contained before it spread an inch.

A mechanical penthouse concentrates the building's most critical equipment in one room at the top of the tower. A leak there does not just risk water damage to a floor, it threatens the boilers and heating systems the entire building depends on. Lose those and you are not cleaning up water, you are dealing with residents who have no heat or hot water.

The room is rarely staffed. In a newly completed tower with systems freshly online, a leak near the boiler tanks can start from a single failed component and escalate before anyone on rounds would find it.

Eddy placed 3-in-1 sensors in the mechanical penthouse, covering the high-risk equipment including the boiler tanks. When water appeared near the tanks, the sensor detected it and triggered automatic alerts with the precise location immediately.

The 24/7 Monitoring Center followed up to make sure the issue was actioned. The property team traced the source to a flow switch, with contractors already on-site, and contained the leak quickly. No other areas were affected and building systems remained fully operational throughout.

Monitoring the mechanical penthouse protects more than a floor. It protects the boilers and heating systems the entire building runs on. Because the leak near the boiler tanks was caught early and traced quickly, a failure in the building's most critical room never became an outage for residents.
