PipeBurst Pro · Commercial & High-Rise
One Pipe. One Building. One Catastrophe.
A pinhole leak on the 22nd floor can cascade through twenty floors before anyone notices. PipeBurst Pro stops it in seconds, with riser monitoring, zoned automatic shutoffs, and 24/7 alerting built for properties where water damage isn't just expensive, it's catastrophic.
The High-Rise Problem
Water Doesn't Stop at the Drywall
One overflowing toilet on a high floor finds its way through every penetration, every joint, every floor below it. By the time a resident on floor 6 notices a ceiling stain, fourteen units above them have already been compromised.
Floor 22
Burst supply line in unattended unit. The source.
Floors 18–21
Ceiling collapse, electrical damage.
Floors 12–17
Drywall, flooring, contents damage.
Floors 6–11
Ceiling stains, mold risk begins.
Lobby
First visible report — 14 hours later.
Total
Insurance claim, displacement, litigation. Seven figures.
Most catastrophic claims don't happen during business hours. They happen overnight, on weekends, in vacant rental units between guests, in offices closed for a holiday. By the time anyone sees the damage, the cost has already multiplied. The buildings that avoid these claims aren't lucky, they're monitored. A professionally installed leak detection system catches the failure in the first minute, shuts off water before it cascades, and alerts your team while the damage is still measured in dollars instead of millions.
Engineered for Buildings, Not Just Homes.
PipeBurst Pro at commercial scale, with riser monitoring at every floor, zoned shutoffs, and centralized dashboards your property management team can access from anywhere.
Riser & Zone Monitoring
Sensors monitor water flow at every riser and zone in the building. Abnormal patterns, the steady trickle of a pinhole leak, the sudden rush of a burst supply line, trigger instant detection without false positives from normal use.
Automatic Zoned Shutoff
When a leak is detected, large-bore automatic shutoff valves close on that zone only. A leak on the 18th floor stops at the 18th floor, with no impact to the rest of the building. Other floors keep operating normally.
24/7 Alerting & Response
Real-time alerts go to your property management team, the unit owner, and Emerald Green simultaneously. Concierge clients also get on-site response coordination, licensed plumber dispatch, and insurance documentation.
Centralized Dashboard
One dashboard for property managers, with cellular and Wi-Fi redundancy for alerting.
Fails Safe
Battery backup through power outages; the mechanical shutoff works without power.
Documented Protection
Point sensors at high-risk locations and insurance-ready documentation included.
What One Leak Actually Costs You.
Water damage is the #2 cause of commercial property insurance claims behind only fire, and #1 in average claim severity. For high-rise condos and multi-floor commercial buildings, a single incident regularly clears seven figures by the time everything is added up. The costs aren't just the obvious repair work. They're the displacement, the business interruption, the rate increases, the litigation between unit owners, and the months your property loses its reputation.
Built for the Properties Where Water Wins Big.
Multi-floor, multi-tenant, multi-stakeholder. Wherever one leak in one location can cost ten times what it should.
High-Rise Condominiums
Boutique and large-scale condo buildings where one absent owner's unit can flood every floor below. The original use case our commercial systems were built for.
Hotels & Hospitality
Closed rooms, unattended bathrooms, weekend leaks discovered Monday morning. Water damage means rooms out of service and revenue lost for weeks.
Office Buildings
After-hours leaks, weekend supply line failures, holiday closures. By Monday morning, server rooms are flooded and tenant lawsuits start.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, surgical centers, medical offices. Water damage in clinical spaces means contamination, equipment loss, and shutdowns.
Multifamily Housing
Apartment buildings and rental properties where one tenant's leak damages units below and triggers landlord liability claims that compound quickly.
Retail & Restaurants
Storefronts, restaurants, and mixed-use ground-floor tenants. Water from above closes locations for weeks and triggers chain-reaction insurance disputes.

Common Questions
What Boards & Owners Want to Know.
Who is commercial leak detection built for?
Property managers, building owners, HOA boards, and condo association presidents responsible for protecting multi-unit and multi-floor properties. High-rise condominiums, hotels, office buildings, healthcare facilities, retail centers, and multifamily housing are all primary use cases. Any property where one leak in one unit can cascade through floors below benefits the most.
How is commercial leak detection different from a residential system?
Commercial installations include riser monitoring at every floor or zone, larger-bore automatic shutoff valves rated for higher flow, point sensors distributed across mechanical rooms, common areas, and high-risk units, and a centralized monitoring dashboard your management team can access from anywhere. The underlying PipeBurst Pro technology is the same, scaled and configured for a building rather than a single home.
What does a leak in a high-rise actually cost?
A single overflowing toilet on a high floor can flood every unit below it before anyone notices. We have seen claims exceed seven figures from one unattended supply line failure, plus business interruption for hotels and offices, displacement of residents, mold remediation, and litigation between unit owners and the association. Most catastrophic claims happen on weekends, overnight, or while units sit empty between rentals.
Can the system shut off water without affecting the whole building?
Yes. Commercial installations are zoned, so a leak on the 18th floor triggers a shutoff for that riser or that unit without taking the entire building offline. Other floors continue operating normally while the issue is investigated. This is one of the main reasons high-rise properties choose zoned commercial systems over single-point shutoffs.
Will our property insurance carrier give us a credit for installing this?
Most commercial and condo association carriers in Florida recognize professionally installed leak detection as a material risk reduction. We provide installation documentation, system specifications, and ongoing monitoring records that go directly to your carrier. Many associations and building owners see premium reductions that offset the system cost within a few policy years.
Who actually responds when the system triggers an alert?
Your designated property management team and Emerald Green both receive real-time alerts. The shutoff is automatic, so the water is already off before anyone needs to act. Our team can dispatch a licensed plumber for inspection, coordinate with your insurance carrier on documentation, and handle remediation through our concierge service if you have that tier.
What about residential properties, do you still install for individual homes?
Yes. PipeBurst Pro is the same underlying technology for residential homes, especially valuable for seasonal residents, snowbirds, and waterfront properties where unattended leaks cause the worst damage. This page focuses on commercial because that is where the catastrophic claims happen, but we install for single-family homes throughout Florida as well.
