Water Riser Sensors Instantly Find Leaks And Save Money

The Problem

For property owners and managers, undetected water leaks can be a costly issue. In this case, managing a 70-unit building without real-time monitoring meant waiting for quarterly bills from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to reveal any unusual water usage spikes. But by then, leaks could have been wasting water for months, leading to excessive water bills and the time-consuming task of locating the exact source of the leak across a large property.

The Solution

With Runwise’s water leak detection system, sensors offer real-time insights into water usage. Rather than waiting for a quarterly bill to spot abnormal water consumption, building managers can see water lines that have been running continuously—such as a line running for over 22 hours—at a glance. This allows them to immediately direct the maintenance team to specific lines (e.g., “A line” or “B line”) for a targeted inspection, drastically reducing time spent searching for leaks and minimizing water waste.

The Results

Runwise’s system has transformed the process, leading to immediate cost savings on water bills by catching leaks early. It has also enhanced operational efficiency, enabling faster, more efficient maintenance responses. For Victor and JRC Management, Runwise’s water leak detection has proven to be a game-changer in both cost savings and operational ease.
