Vertical risk

One leak. Twenty floors of damage.

The higher the leak, the more rooms compound the loss before anyone responds. The simulator uses operating-portfolio data from the State of Water Risk ‘26 report to show how long a leak runs before anyone finds it, how much water it releases and how many floors sit below it. Then it shows what changes when Eddy is on the chain.

How these figures are made

Time to find a leak without monitoring: overnight, until the 8 AM walk-through, the low end of the report's 6 to 8 hours for a 2 AM leak. Daytime and evening times are estimates of when someone notices.

Water released: 5 to 8 gallons a minute, what a 3/16 to 1/4 inch hole in a supply line passes at 60 psi. A burst washer hose runs faster, about 650 gallons an hour (State Farm), and a condensate drip slower.

Average damage by source: State of Water Risk '26, the report's estimates from Eddy's 2025 monitoring data for 148 multi-family buildings. Monitoring: Aon Real Estate Practice whitepaper on the Eddy system, 58% of water loss claims positively affected and total water damage losses down 23%.

Next steps

Turn the cascade math into a plan.

The calculator runs the full risk profile against the report's operating-portfolio data, the WDPP builder generates a project-ready document, and the State of Water Risk '26 report carries the numbers into the renewal conversation.
