Undetected water leaks are a major and growing source of building damage. They drive over $13B in annual U.S. insurance claims, averaging $89k per commercial incident, with claims over $1M tripling since 2015. Aging infrastructure, rising repair costs, and smaller maintenance teams increase both frequency and severity. Leaks raise costs, premiums, downtime, and reputational risk, while wasting water and energy, making them a financial and sustainability issue.

Founded by technical founders Paul and Marguerite (MIT, EPFL, Harvard, Tsinghua), we serve large real-estate portfolios with maintenance teams in the US and Germany: a massively underserved 20-billion-dollar market.
