What the building was facing.
A glycol leak caused over $1 million in damage to the women's change room in the building's gym. There was no early warning for leaks, and nobody was watching water flow, so waste went unnoticed and the insurance premium rose sharply after the claim.
From signal to record.
01
With AKWA, the leak-detection partner, placed moisture sensors on the ground floor and in the amenities.
02
Connected automatic water shut-off, so a detected leak cuts supply before it spreads.
03
Brought water-flow monitoring into ARMS to spot unusual consumption patterns.
04
Routed every alert into ARMS so staff response was tracked and recorded.
What changed.
Six major leaks were stopped within 12 months.
A faulty trap seal causing heavy off-peak water use was found and fixed, saving an estimated $100,000 a year.
The building negotiated its insurance premium back down after the pilot.
Detection matters. A recorded, verified response is what lets you prove it.
