Case study 11 – Preventing water damage with MyVoltage’s smart metering: Geyser burst detection
In a residential unit, a geyser burst, leading to significant water wastage. However, thanks to MyVoltage’s smart metering system, the issue was detected early based on high water usage readings.
The challenge
The geyser burst occurred over the weekend when the tenant was away, resulting in a large amount of water being lost. Without a smart metering system in place, it would have been difficult to identify the issue in time, leading to increased water costs and potential damage to the property.
The solution
The MyVoltage system detected the unusual spike in water usage, indicating a potential problem. The system sent an alert, allowing the property management to notify the tenant, who was able to dispatch someone to inspect the unit. Upon arrival, the geyser was found to be burst and leaking.
The results
The early detection of the geyser burst enabled swift action, preventing further water loss and damage to the property. The system not only provided real-time usage data but also facilitated proactive loss prevention through leak detection.
Why this matters for property managers
For property managers, undetected geyser bursts can lead to high utility costs, potential structural damage, and tenant dissatisfaction. With real-time monitoring and alerts, property managers can address such issues swiftly, protecting their investment, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring a seamless tenant experience.
Take the hassle out of utility management
MyVoltage’s smart metering systems can provide early detection of issues like geyser bursts, allowing for immediate action and reducing potential losses from water leaks and damage.
