Commercial Leak Detection & Water Damage Prevention
Stop a Leak Before It Reaches the Floor Below
PipeBurst Pro leak detection for condominiums, hotels, restaurants, and office buildings, installed by a licensed Florida general contractor. Sensors catch water at the source and shut off the supply automatically, day or night.
How PipeBurst Pro Works in a Commercial Building
Sensors at Every Likely Leak Point
Water sensors sit beside water heaters, supply lines, mechanical equipment, and other fixtures that fail. When water touches a sensor, it signals the system within seconds.
Automatic Shutoff Valves
Stainless steel valves on the supply lines close as soon as a sensor trips. A leak that would have flowed all night stops in seconds.
Multiple Zones
The commercial system supports multiple zones, so a building can be divided by floor, wing, or equipment area. We lay out the zones around how your building is plumbed.
Flow Monitoring
The system can read water meter data and spot continuous flow, which often means a hidden leak inside a wall or under a slab where no floor sensor would see it.
Alerts to the Right People
When the system detects a leak, it sends a text, email, or automated phone call to the contacts you choose, such as your property manager, maintenance lead, or after-hours service.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Authorized staff can check system status and control valves from an online dashboard.
Where Leaks Start in Commercial Property
Water heaters and boilers in mechanical rooms
Supply lines to sinks, toilets, and appliances in units and guest rooms
Ice machines, dishwashers, and walk-in coolers in commercial kitchens
AC air handlers and condensate lines above finished ceilings
Laundry rooms in condos and hotels
Break rooms and restrooms in office buildings
Condominiums and Associations
In a condo building, one unit’s leak becomes several units’ damage, and the association often ends up sorting out who pays. Seasonal owners make it worse. A unit that sits empty from May through October can leak for weeks before a neighbor notices a stain on the ceiling.
Leak detection protects every owner in the building. We work with boards and property managers on scope, budget, and scheduling, and coordinate unit access with residents during installation.
Hotels and Restaurants
A hotel has hundreds of fixtures across dozens of rooms, and a flooded room can lead to multiple rooms you cannot book. A restaurant relies on ice machines, dishwashers, and prep sinks that can leak during service or overnight. Automatic shutoff keeps the damage to one room or one station so the rest of the business stays open.
Office and Retail Buildings
Most office and retail buildings sit empty nights and weekends, which is when a slow leak does the most harm. Sensors and valves work whether anyone is in the building or not, and the alert reaches your maintenance team long before Monday morning.
Licensed, Insured, and Easy to Verify
Leak detection valves go on your building’s water supply. That is plumbing work, and it should be installed by a licensed contractor who carries insurance.
Emerald Green holds Florida license CGC1538211, Certified General Contractor, the broadest construction license the state issues. We have completed more than 700 flood protection installations across Florida. You can verify our license at myfloridalicense.com in about thirty seconds.
Other Ways Water Gets In
Leak detection stops water that starts inside the building. Commercial flood barriers stop surge and rising water at the ground floor, and Storm Armour seals sliding door tracks against wind-driven rain. If your building is due for a plumbing upgrade or renovation, we can install leak detection during the project through our commercial contracting work. Our Concierge Program can also monitor the system and respond after an alert.
How a Commercial Project Starts
-
1
Free on-site assessment
We walk the building, trace the water supply, and mark every fixture and equipment area that needs a sensor.
-
2
Written scope and quote
Sensor locations, valve placement, zones, and pricing in writing, ready for a board or ownership group.
-
3
Installation
We install the valves and sensors, connect the system, and set up alerts for your team.
-
4
Test and training
We trip sensors in each zone, confirm the valves close, and show your staff how to read alerts, reset the system, and use the manual override.
Where We Work

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to prevent water damage in a commercial building?
Automatic leak detection with shutoff valves. Sensors catch water at the fixtures and equipment most likely to fail, and the valves stop the flow before it spreads to other floors or units. Regular plumbing maintenance helps, but it cannot react to a leak at 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
Will a leak shut off water to the whole building?
Not necessarily. We divide the system into zones, so a leak in one area shuts off that area’s supply while the rest of the building keeps its water.
Who gets notified when the system detects a leak?
Anyone you choose. Alerts go out by text, email, or automated phone call to your property manager, maintenance team, or after-hours contact.
Can it find leaks inside walls?
Flow monitoring can flag continuous water use that points to a hidden leak, even where no sensor sees water.
Can you install it in an occupied building?
Yes. We schedule unit access with residents and tenants and work around business hours where needed.
Do you work with condo boards and property managers?
Yes. We provide written scopes for board review and coordinate scheduling with management.
What does a commercial leak detection system cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the building, the number of sensors and zones, and how the water supply is laid out, so we quote after the on-site assessment. The assessment is free.
