Stop water damage
before it spreads.

Silviri detects leaks the moment they happen and shuts off water flow automatically — preventing the cascading damage that drives multifamily insurance claims.

How It Works

Four layers of protection, working in concert.

A purpose-built system for multifamily buildings — engineered to detect early, alert instantly, and act automatically.

Sensors

Wireless leak sensors deployed at fixtures, appliances, and exposed plumbing throughout each unit. Sub-GHz radio, 5+ year battery.

Automatic Shutoff

Configurable shutoff stops water flow when leaks are detected — at fixture, unit, or building scale. Protect tier+

Flow Meters

Per-unit flow meters track consumption, enable tenant billing, and catch slow leaks fixture sensors miss. Optimize tier

Cloud Monitoring

24/7 visibility for property managers, owners, and maintenance teams. Real-time alerts, dashboards, and integrations.

Why It Matters

Most water damage is paid by the owner — not the insurer.

Water damage is the #1 insurance claim driver in multifamily real estate. But most claims fall partially or entirely below the deductible — meaning owners absorb the cost.

With per-incident deductibles commonly $25K–$50K and rising, the economics have shifted. Prevention is no longer optional — it's the only path to controlling losses.

Silviri addresses the loss before it becomes an expense.

"The deductible is where water damage actually lives."
— A reality every multifamily operator has learned the hard way.
Who Silviri Is For

Multifamily buildings where the math works.

Every building has a different risk profile. Use the calculator below to see exactly where yours falls — but here's the broad picture.

Strongest ROI

Pre-1995 buildings

Aging plumbing — galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early copper. Recent water claims or rising insurance premiums. 50–300 units.

Solid ROI

1995–2010 buildings

Standard plumbing condition with typical claim frequency from appliances and fixtures. Cost-effective at scale.

Selective ROI

Post-2010 buildings

Strongest fit for high-value assets, properties with high deductibles, or buildings with recent loss history. Most water claims (washing machines, toilets, water heaters) occur regardless of building age.

Building Scale

50–300 units

Garden-style, mid-rise, and high-rise multifamily. Both new construction and retrofit deployments.

Service Tiers

Three tiers, sized to your building.

Detect leaks. Stop the damage. Manage water as a measured asset. Each tier builds on the one below — pick the level of intervention that matches your building's plumbing access, claim history, and operating goals.

Detect
Early Warning

Wireless sensor coverage with real-time alerting. No plumbing modifications — install in days, not weeks.

Includes
  • Wireless leak sensors at fixtures, appliances, and exposed plumbing
  • Building-wide LoRaWAN gateway
  • Real-time alerts to managers and on-call staff
  • Cloud dashboard and event history
Best for Buildings where unit-level plumbing access is constrained, or where alert-only monitoring is sufficient to meet operator and insurance requirements.
Optimize
Water as an Asset

Protection plus per-unit submetering. Recover utility costs, gain consumption visibility, and catch slow leaks fixture sensors miss.

Everything in Protect, plus
  • Per-unit flow meters on each unit's water supply line
  • CPUC-compliant tenant water billing and cost recovery
  • Slow-leak and consumption anomaly detection
  • Yardi, AppFolio, and other PMS integrations
Best for Master-metered buildings where the owner currently absorbs water cost — submetering typically pays for itself through utility recovery alone, with damage prevention on top. Submetering details →

Coverage extent is configured per building.

Within each tier, sensor and shutoff density is scoped to your property's risk profile and budget. The right configuration is determined during your building assessment. Tap each level below to see what's included.

Technology

Built on open standards.
Engineered for buildings, not homes.

Silviri uses LoRaWAN — the industry-standard wireless protocol for long-range, low-power IoT. No proprietary lock-in, no vendor dependency, no per-unit WiFi headaches.

a

Sub-GHz Radio (915 MHz)

Silviri operates in the 915 MHz ISM band — fundamentally better suited to multifamily buildings than the 2.4 GHz spectrum used by WiFi, BLE, and Zigbee.

Multifamily buildings are hostile RF environments. Concrete floors, masonry, plumbing risers, and dense ambient WiFi defeat the 2.4 GHz protocols designed for single-family homes. Sub-GHz wins on every axis that matters at building scale:

Range & Path Loss

  • Free-space path loss is ~10 dB lower at 915 MHz than at 2.4 GHz, yielding roughly 3× the range at equal transmit power
  • LoRaWAN link budget at sub-GHz: ~155 dB typical. WiFi/BLE: ~95–110 dB

Building Penetration

  • Longer wavelengths diffract around obstacles and pass through structure with far less attenuation
  • Per concrete floor: 2.4 GHz loses 15–25 dB; sub-GHz loses 5–10 dB
  • One gateway covers a 200-unit building. WiFi-based systems require extenders, mesh nodes, or per-unit hardware

Spectrum Cleanliness

  • 2.4 GHz ISM is congested with WiFi from every unit, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, and Zigbee networks
  • 902–928 MHz ISM is far less crowded, with predictable interference characteristics
  • LoRa chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation is highly resistant to narrowband interference
b

LoRaWAN — Open Standard

Industry-standard protocol governed by the LoRa Alliance. No proprietary lock-in, multi-vendor ecosystem, long-term protocol support.

LoRaWAN is the open MAC-layer standard maintained by the LoRa Alliance — a consortium of over 500 member companies. Choosing an open standard over a proprietary protocol matters for buildings deployed to last 10+ years:

What "Open" Buys You

  • No vendor lock-in. Sensors, gateways, and network servers from different manufacturers interoperate by specification
  • Multi-vendor device ecosystem. Pump monitors, environmental sensors, asset trackers, and submetering hardware available from dozens of vendors
  • Protocol stewardship beyond any one company. A single supplier failure or pricing change cannot strand your installed devices
  • Optional public network coverage. Where public LoRaWAN networks exist, devices can connect without dedicated gateway infrastructure

Why Not Proprietary Sub-GHz?

Some competitors run proprietary FSK protocols on sub-GHz hardware. The radio physics are similar, but the buyer is locked into a single chipset, single firmware vendor, and single cloud — for the lifetime of the deployment. We have made the deliberate choice to stay open.

c

Multi-Year Battery Life

5+ years on standard cells. No daily maintenance, no occupant disruption, no batteries-on-a-truck-roll operating model.

The combination of sub-GHz radio efficiency and a low-duty-cycle protocol enables an order-of-magnitude improvement over WiFi or BLE leak sensors:

Battery Life by Protocol

  • Silviri (LoRaWAN, sub-GHz): 5–7 years on 2× AA or a single CR123A
  • WiFi-based leak sensors: 6–18 months on the same form factor
  • BLE mesh sensors: 1–2 years, with degraded performance in dense buildings

Why Sub-GHz Enables This

  • Lower transmit power for the same link margin — most of a sensor's energy budget is spent on radio TX
  • LoRaWAN Class A devices spend >99.9% of their lifetime in deep sleep
  • No WiFi association overhead, no DHCP, no Bluetooth pairing churn

Operational Math

A 200-unit building with 6 sensors per unit means 1,200 sensors. At WiFi battery life, that's roughly 1,000+ batteries to swap every year — a maintenance burden that defeats the value proposition. At Silviri's battery life, the building manager touches the sensors approximately twice a decade.

d

Encrypted End-to-End

AES-128 encryption from sensor to cloud. Two-key architecture, role-based access control, full audit trail.

LoRaWAN provides two layers of AES-128 encryption with independent key management — a stronger architecture than the single-key model used by most consumer IoT protocols:

Cryptographic Architecture

  • Network Session Key (NwkSKey): protects MAC-layer integrity between sensor and network server
  • Application Session Key (AppSKey): protects payload confidentiality end-to-end. Even the network operator cannot decrypt application data
  • Forward secrecy through key rotation. Compromise of one session does not expose historical traffic

Platform Security

  • Role-based access control: managers, owners, maintenance staff have separate scoped permissions
  • Full audit trail: shutoff actions, configuration changes, and access events are logged and exportable
  • TLS 1.3 for all platform API traffic

Resident Privacy

The system collects only sensor state (water/no-water at fixture locations) and consumption data where flow meters are deployed. No video, no audio, no location tracking, no individual occupancy inference.

Compliance: FCC certification in progress. UL listing planned for production hardware. Designed to meet NEMA enclosure standards for installed components.
