Apartment building owners and condo/co-op Boards, Have your community’s pipes reached the end of their useful life?😕 When it comes to property management and capital improvement planning, it’s helpful to know the signs of an aging plumbing or mechanical piping system — and what to do when it’s time to replace it. Each piping system has a different average lifespan. And there are several ways a pipe replacement specialist can help when your system is reaching the end of its useful life. Check out our guide to the useful life of the four most common residential piping systems and what to do when it’s time to replace them. ⬇️ Questions? Contact us for a free consultation at https://okt.to/2Ndn0W We look forward to chatting!

⛰️ A pipe replacement...at the base of a mountain? The Sea View community needed a DWV pipe replacement, but the project presented a unique challenge. The condominium is built into the base of a mountain, and the piping system follows some peculiar paths. As a turnkey design-build contractor, SageWater developed and installed a comprehensive repipe solution, including excavation work to address leaks in the underground piping. ➡️ Read the full case study to learn more, including how we were able to save the community money by eliminating extra costs along the way: https://okt.to/cAfxHs #sagewater #pipereplacement #repipe #captialimprovement

Is your community experiencing frequent piping problems? Escalating operating costs? Issues like discolored water or mold? Repeated calls to your service plumber are a stopgap, but they’re not a solution. And a forensic study can help you figure out what the best solution is. The SageWater Pipe TEST – Technical Evaluation of System Threats – is an analysis of your failing pipes that delves deep into their health and provides scientific data about their condition and how much longer they'll last. Whether you’re an apartment owner/operator or a condo board member, this forensic analysis can be invaluable. ➡️ For apartment community owners and operators, it can help with good decision-making around acquisition ROI and capital improvement strategy. ➡️ For condominium boards, it can help eliminate uncertainty among stakeholders about the best next step for your community, assist with reserves planning, and mitigate insurance risk.

When it comes to piping issues, apartment building owners and operators and condo boards can often find themselves asking questions like: 🤔 Is repiping necessary? 🤔 Do we have to repipe right now? 🤔 Do we have to replace all our pipes at once? The SageWater Pipe TEST (Technical Evaluation of System Threats) helps answer these questions. It’s a forensic study diagnosing problems in a piping system and providing a report on its condition. A Pipe TEST offers an inside look at pipes with techniques like: ☑️ Camera drain lines to find clogs, cracks, and sags. ☑️ Ultrasonically test for pipe wall deterioration. ☑️ Send samples for lab analysis to identify the reasons a pipe failed. ☑️ Test water quality, temperature, and flow to determine the cause of leaks. This objective data can help with budget planning, project prioritization, and making informed decisions around timing for your repipe. Learn more at our new Pipe TEST webpage, which features details about the different Pipe TEST techniques and findings. 🧪 https://okt.to/B4QPs7

The board at Whaler’s Village needed a full pipe replacement of their freshwater supply system and a partial replacement of their Drain, Waste, and Vent system. The catch? One of the buildings was on stilts above an EPA-sanctioned salmon reserve. To learn more about how SageWater carried out this project for the 4-building, 125-unit condo community––and the special precautions we used to ensure no contaminants got into the water––check out the full case study: https://okt.to/dDEaFw #sagewater #pipereplacement #repipe #condomanagement #propertymanagement

❄️ It may be summertime, but the current economic climate is a bit chilly. Our advice? Bundle Up! We don’t mean a coat, hat, and mittens. We mean bundling must-do capital improvement projects into a single loan. This can be a great way for condo communities to get the financing they need for multiple projects💵, especially when a plumbing and mechanical system replacement is in the mix. Bundling can show banks you’re thinking ahead and streamline community conversations about repairs and upgrades. It may even lower or eliminate special assessments for the covered projects in some cases. Check out our full post to learn more about why bundling makes sense and what to do before approaching your bank! ⬇️ https://okt.to/WaFyl1 #sagewater #capitalimprovement #pipereplacement #repipe
