About the company:

Wint was born out of a vision that costly water damage and waste shouldn’t be an issue in the 21st century.

Just as you can look at the back of a cereal box and know how many calories it contains, you should be able to consider any building – be it a simple home or a multi-national corporate campus – and know how every drop of water is being used within it, just like you would with any other resource.

Until now, we’ve only had rudimentary tools to understand how our water is being used. Commercial businesses spend 1/4 of the total cost of their water bills on paying for leaks alone – money and water poured down the drain, at a time when water scarcity has never been a more pressing issue. Not knowing where our water is going puts our property and assets at risk, with water damage being a leading insurance claim. Facility managers tell us they’re crossing their fingers, sleeping uneasy at night, hoping their rudimentary flood protection devices don’t fail them and cause catastrophic damage.
