Conservation Labs uses sound to diagnose plumbing issues

Conservation Labs uses acoustics -- the sound of water, specifically -- to diagnose potential issues with building plumbing.

Every washing machine cycle, dish rinse and toilet flush sends water rushing through the pipes in homes, apartments and commercial buildings, carrying waste away at breakneck speeds. Seeking to avoid putting all of its eggs in one basket, the startup recently launched a new acoustic sensor line that monitors not only water but industrial machines for signs of damage and other related issues. With a warchest totaling $9.5 million in venture capital, Conservation plans to release the second generation of its water monitoring sensor, increase the scope and scale of its AI platform and expand its ongoing sales and marketing initiatives.
