Water leak detection in Ottawa for commercial and multifamily buildings

Yes. Eddy is headquartered in Toronto and protects commercial, institutional and multifamily buildings across Ontario, including Ottawa from Kanata and Barrhaven to Orléans. Buildings across the river in Gatineau are served the same way.

Operators in the monitoring center confirm the alert and call the building's contacts through the escalation protocol within minutes of the SMS, email and app alerts. Water can shut off automatically or on a remote command, any hour of the night. That matters in a city with about 155 nights a year at or below freezing.

Ask your property manager or engineer, because buildings from that period may carry Kitec, whose fittings corrode and whose pipes can burst. Eddy does not replace piping. Point-of-leak sensors and flow monitoring watch the lines most likely to fail, and water can shut off automatically or on a remote command when one does.

It can inform it. Eddy documents every event, so the board and its engineer can see where leaks happen and how often between studies. That record helps time riser and valve work, and it shows insurers the building's water systems are actively managed.

Yes. Eddy watches flow and the presence of water around labs, records rooms and mechanical spaces and can close a valve remotely when the building's response plan calls for it. Sensors install with no drywall cuts, which matters in occupied offices and labs.

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 Ottawa. 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.

Look for five things. Sensors where leaks start, not only a meter on the main. Shutoff valves that close on their own when water runs. A staffed monitoring center that calls your team instead of only sending an app alert. Wireless coverage that holds a signal through concrete to mechanical rooms and parking levels. And a documented record of every event that your insurer can read.

Eddy covers all five for buildings across Ottawa, from a single tower to a full portfolio, with 150,000+ active devices in the field.

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.

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 an exploratory call with the relevant stakeholders to understand the problem you are looking to solve. Proposals come from our technical team in 7 days or less.

No. Sensor installs need no drywall cuts. Wireless sensors sit where leaks start, at fixtures, appliances, fan coils and the foot of each riser, and Eddy provisions and configures the meters and valves on the lines that need them.

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.
