Los Angeles spreads water risk across a huge, mixed building stock, from hillside towers to sprawling campuses and commercial parks. A leak in any of them can run unseen for hours before anyone notices.
Leaks here come from many directions. Failed valves and fittings, appliance and HVAC connections, supply-line breaks and the shifts that seismic activity can put on a building's plumbing. In a state where water is scarce and expensive, even a slow leak adds up fast.
Where leaks start in Los Angeles buildings
Many points of failure
Valves, fittings, appliance hoses, HVAC lines and supply lines can all let go, in new and established buildings alike. The first sign is often damage well away from the source.
Movement stresses the plumbing
Ground movement stresses joints and connections over time. Continuous monitoring catches the slow leaks that follow before they become structural problems.
Scarce, costly water
California water is expensive and tightly managed. Quiet waste and slow leaks carry a real cost, so continuous flow monitoring pays back quickly.
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.

California submetering law
California requires individual water submeters in most newly built multifamily housing. Eddy smart metering supports resident billing and conservation while watching for leaks on the same system.
Built as a service, not a product
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.
Trusted on a major Southern California campus
Eddy protects institutional buildings including a major Southern California university, where continuous monitoring guards dense, high-value space. Verification and shutoff are handled around the clock by the monitoring center.

Los Angeles water leak detection FAQ
Yes. Eddy protects commercial, institutional and multifamily buildings across the LA basin, from downtown towers to campuses and suburban commercial property.
Continuous monitoring is well suited to seismic markets. Eddy watches flow and the presence of water around the clock and can isolate a line automatically when a leak appears after ground movement.
Yes. Eddy smart metering measures use at the unit level to support resident billing and conservation, which aligns with California submetering requirements.
How Eddy works
Eddy Solutions is a managed water leak detection solution provider serving Constructors, Commercial Asset Managers, Property Managers, Hospitals, Hotels and Conference Centers, Data Centers, and Multi-Family Residential buildings across the Greater Los Angeles Area. 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 140,000+ 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 the Greater Los Angeles Area, please reach out directly to sghanbarian@eddysolutions.com.
Eddy's team walks the building, or reviews the construction drawings, and produces a tiered design matched to the asset class, water systems, and insurance program. Our first step is setting up an exploratory call with the relevant stakeholders to understand the problem you are looking to solve. Proposals are generated by our technical team and provided in 7 days or less.
