BuildUp! is a powerful tool to prevent water damage in multi-dwelling residences and mixed-use buildings. It provides a reliable 24/7/365 timely intervention on water leaks both during new
construction projects and permanently once the building is inhabited.
When a leak is detected, our sensor instantaneously sends a notification to your smart phone enabling remote or automatic shutoff of water valves. BuildUp! is both smart and tough: It leverages artificial intelligence (A.I.), AWS cloud, and LoRaWan industrial strength wireless standards to give you water protection in the palm of your hand.
Reducing the frequency and severity of water damage on job sites can be achieved inexpensively though a combination of smart building detection and a Water Damage Prevention and Mitigation Plan (WDPMP).
