How MadisonWater Stopped a University's Next $1.2M Water Disaster

When thawed frozen pipes caused $1.2 million in damage to a suite-style university dormitory, campus facilities leaders knew they needed a smarter solution. MadisonWater deployed wireless leak sensors and actuated shut-off valves integrated into a cloud-based central monitoring system that automatically cuts water flow the moment a leak is detected. The system also monitors ambient temperature, alerting staff when conditions drop below 40°F to prevent future freeze events. For universities managing high-density residential housing, MadisonWater's WASENS platform delivers proactive, around-the-clock protection that safeguards students, staff, and campus infrastructure.
