Damage prevented
$8.3M
- 47 anomalies investigated
- 39 confirmed leaks contained
- Single Leak Incident Report format across the portfolio
Course of construction
Protect the project from rough-in to handover.
69.6% of water events on active construction sites are confirmed leaks, three times the rate of occupied buildings. Eddy installs at temporary risers during fit-out and the same hardware, monitoring center and Leak Incident Reports carry forward into operations on day one of occupancy.
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 the project with Eddy
Shut off water remotely
Automatic shutoff on the main feed plus zone-level isolation during fit-out. The monitoring center stays with Eddy from temporary risers through commissioning.
Reduce insurance costs
Builder's risk programs reward documented mitigation. Eddy's evidence chain transitions cleanly into the operating-building program at substantial completion.
Prevent leaks and water damage
69.6% of water events on active sites are confirmed leaks. Sensors at fixtures, risers and mechanical rooms surface them in minutes, not hours.
Avoid rework
A single after-hours event can wipe out weeks of finishes. Supported response keeps drywall dry and projects on the agreed handover date.
Simple, powerful leak protection
Tier 01
Building protection
A base system with remote shut off valves, building network and sensors throughout the property.
Tier 02
Unit protection
Additional smart sensors within the suite placed next to at risk fixtures & appliances.

Risk profile
Risk concentrates after hours.
Active job sites sit empty most hours. The largest losses happen overnight, on weekends and during holidays, when the trades have left and nobody is on site to respond.
Eddy's monitoring center is staffed 24/7 from the moment the first sensor goes live. Operators verify every alert and confirm the shutoff per the project runbook.
Builder's risk credibility
Two named projects, two real numbers.
Builder's risk programs reward documented mitigation. Here is what that documentation looked like for two projects on the monitored network.

Detect fast, act fast
Every minute changes the bill.
A leak gets bigger the longer it runs. Eddy detects in seconds and the monitoring center escalates within minutes, so the same failure is contained around minute two. Unmonitored, an after-hours leak runs six to eight hours before anyone arrives.

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.
Under construction · 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.

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.

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 washing machine supply hose bursts in a suite upstairs.
- Eddy H2O under the washer detects water and sends the alert over LoRaWAN.
- The building's gateway relays it. Your team and the 24/7 monitoring center are alerted at the same time.
- A shutoff rule closes the suite's Eddy IQ valve. The water stops at the source.
- An operator confirms the alert and calls your on-site 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

The system
Eddy goes in while the building goes up.
Sensors cover risers, HVAC sources and active work zones before the walls close. Meters watch the domestic main and site water, and the monitoring center is on the line from day one.

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.

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

Near-zeroon-site water-damage risk during active constructionOne of North America's top builders uses Eddy's connected leak protection to keep projects on schedule, reduce on-site water-event risk and support stronger insurance terms across active job sites.
ConstructionFort Lauderdale, FloridaEddy-protected buildingA leak at 4 AM on an empty job site. Eddy caught it anyway.
SecondsWater event detected on an unattended siteDuring active construction on a luxury development, a laundry connection began leaking in the early morning hours with the site empty. Eddy detected the moisture within seconds, the Monitoring Center prompted the on-site team, and the leak was contained before it could affect ongoing work.
- ConstructionNorth Bethesda, MarylandEddy-protected building
A leak on a floor still being built. The water zone shut off in the same second.
Same secondAutomatic shutoff at the moment of detectionDuring active construction, concealed bathroom piping began to leak before anyone had moved in. Eddy detected the moisture and automatically shut off the unit's water zone valves in the same second, containing the leak with no impact to finished work or the construction timeline.
