Las Vegas built most of its residential skyline in a single sprint. A condo boom that started in 2003 put dozens of high-rise towers up on and around the Strip within a few years, and those buildings are now deep into their second decade. Original risers, valves and supply lines across that stock are aging together, and a concealed failure on an upper floor runs down through every floor below it.
The water inside those walls makes the aging faster. The valley draws nearly all of its supply from Lake Mead, and the Colorado River loads it with enough calcium and magnesium that the local water district classifies it as very hard. Scale builds up inside supply lines, water heaters and valve seats, so the components meant to hold water back are often the first to wear out.
Older stock carries its own era of risk. Valley construction from the late 1970s through the mid 1990s commonly used polybutylene supply pipe, a material that failed widely enough to trigger one of the largest plumbing class-action settlements in history, and hard water and desert heat shorten its life further. In a region where every gallon is policed, a slow leak is also a compliance problem, because water escaping a property counts as water waste under Southern Nevada's conservation rules.
Smart water leak detection meets that risk at building scale. Eddy's managed program pairs point-of-leak sensors and flow monitoring with automatic shutoff and a 24/7 monitoring center, so a failing fitting in a Strip-corridor tower, a resort back-of-house or a suburban commercial building is caught, contained and documented before it becomes a claim.
Where leaks start in Las Vegas buildings
Scale from very hard water
The valley's Colorado River supply is classified as very hard, and the scale it leaves behind wears valves, fittings, water heaters and appliance connections faster than in most markets. Continuous monitoring catches the failures scale sets up.
Boom-era towers aging together
Most of the high-rise condo stock went up in one wave after 2003. Original risers, valves and supply lines in those towers are reaching mid-life at the same time, and one concealed failure can cascade through dozens of units.
Polybutylene-era plumbing
Valley construction from the late 1970s through the mid 1990s commonly used polybutylene supply pipe, a material known to crack without warning. Those slow failures are the hardest to spot by eye and the easiest for continuous monitoring to catch.
A hardening insurance market
Nevada associations face climbing premiums and carriers pushing water deductibles higher at renewal. Documented monitoring helps a building make its case for better terms.
Smart sensors at every leak point
Eddy places point-of-leak sensors and smart flow meters where water damage actually starts in Las Vegas buildings, from the mechanical room to a laundry hose, so a leak is caught at the source and shut off before it spreads.
Mechanical rooms
Boilers, water heaters and main risers, where a single failure floods fast.
HVAC and fan coils
Heat exchangers and condensate lines that drip behind walls and ceilings.
Kitchens
Supply lines, shutoffs and appliance connections under and behind the sink.
Bathrooms
Toilets, vanities and concealed in-wall fixtures on every floor.
Laundry
Washer hoses and laundry connections, a top source of overnight leaks.
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.
The leak starts at minute zero. Eddy contains it around minute two. Unmonitored, the same leak runs six to eight hours before staff arrive, and that red stretch is the avoided claim.

Reserve studies under NRS 116
Nevada's Common-Interest Ownership Act requires associations to study their reserves at least once every five years and review them annually, covering the major components the association must repair or replace. Documented water monitoring gives boards a clear record that plumbing risk is actively managed, and it helps keep surprise water losses from draining the reserve fund the study is built to protect.
A team behind every alert
A 3 a.m. alert is one chime. Nobody is awake to hear it.
Fast response is not just the hardware. The technology sees the water in seconds, and the managed service behind it, a monitoring center that calls your team within minutes, turns that into a contained event before it becomes a claim.
Tuned by real events
Built over a decade in operating buildings.
Eddy has been inside buildings since 2014. Sensor placement, alert thresholds and the monitoring-center playbook are tuned by what real water events across our monitored properties keep teaching us.
Built for the building
Sized to how the water system behaves.
Multi-family stacks, commercial towers, hospitality suites, course-of-construction projects. Each water system has its own failure pattern. The coverage map, response chain and shutoff sequence are scoped to the property in front of us, not a template.
Detect, contain, document
Every event leads to a closed incident.
Sensors find where water escaped. Automatic shutoff isolates the affected zone. The 24/7 monitoring center calls your team within minutes and stays on it until it's closed, with a Leak Incident Report on file.

Las Vegas water leak detection FAQ
Yes. Eddy serves buildings nationwide across Canada and the US, with installation crews coordinated remotely and a monitoring center in Toronto that covers every time zone. Las Vegas condo towers, hotels and commercial buildings run on the same managed program as the rest of the portfolio.
It accelerates them. The valley's water is classified as very hard, and the scale it leaves behind wears valve seats, fittings, water heaters and appliance connections faster than in most markets. Continuous flow monitoring and point-of-leak sensors catch those failures early, often before any visible damage.
Yes. Towers from the post-2003 condo boom are exactly the buildings Eddy is built for. Sensors and flow monitoring layer onto the existing plumbing without an overhaul, and the monitoring center escalates any alert through the building's contact list within minutes.
It supports them. NRS 116 requires associations to study reserves at least once every five years, and water losses are one of the fastest ways a reserve plan goes off track. Documented 24/7 monitoring shows the board is actively managing plumbing risk and helps keep surprise water damage from draining the fund.
Yes. The region treats water escaping a property as water waste, and fines escalate for repeat violations. Continuous flow monitoring surfaces the slow leaks and quiet waste that trigger citations, and automatic shutoff stops a running line before it becomes a fine and a claim.
How Eddy works
Eddy Solutions is managed water leak detection for builders, commercial asset managers and property managers, hospitals, hotels and conference centers, data centers and multifamily residential buildings across North America. It combines point-of-leak and flow sensors, automatic shutoff, building wireless connectivity, a 24/7 monitoring center and insurance-grade reporting into one program from one vendor, so a leak is detected, contained, escalated and documented without your team running the response.
Eddy monitors 150,000+ active devices across North America and has prevented an estimated $98M (USD) in property damage last year alone. Aon's independent study found Eddy would have positively affected 58% of water-loss claims in commercial real estate.
The 24/7 monitoring center is the after-hours response. Trained operators confirm every alert, escalate per the building's contact list, support the on-call contact, and stay on the line until the water is off and the response is verified.
Yes. Eddy Solutions' technology is approved by most insurers across North America to provide deductible or premium savings. Given differences in asset types and building risk profiles, insurance incentives are not uniform. For specific insurance questions related to your property in North America, please reach out directly to sghanbarian@eddysolutions.com.

Smart water leak detection uses connected sensors and flow meters to watch a building's plumbing in real time, instead of waiting for someone to find a leak. Point-of-leak sensors catch water at the source and smart flow meters spot an abnormal run or a burst riser, and the system can shut the water off automatically or on a remote command. With Eddy, a 24/7 monitoring center acts on every alert, so detection turns into a response, not just a notification.
A home leak detector is usually a single sensor that pings an app. Commercial and multifamily leak detection has to cover dozens of risers, suites and mechanical rooms, hold a signal through concrete and steel and produce the documented response insurers expect. Eddy is built for that scale, with building-grade LoRaWAN wireless, point-of-leak and flow coverage across the property, automatic shutoff up to building mains and a managed 24/7 monitoring center.
Leak detection finds the water. Water leak protection stops the loss. Detection on its own is an alert that still needs someone to act on it. Eddy pairs detection with automatic shutoff and a 24/7 monitoring center that escalates the alert and closes the water, so the building is protected, not just alerted.
Yes. Eddy protects multifamily and condo towers, Class A offices and mixed-use buildings, hospitality, institutional and industrial properties and active construction sites. The same managed program tunes the sensor density, shutoff strategy and reporting to how each building's water system behaves. See the full product suite at eddysolutions.com/products.
