Repeated failures in Fern Glen’s hydronic piping system had caused water damage in units, prompted system shutdowns, and triggered problems for maintenance staff. Building management brought in SageWater to replace the complete system, including main lines and horizontal run outs to unit systems.
Compatibility is the key to longevity. That’s as true for human relationships as it is for piping systems. Without compatibility, breakups—and breakdowns—are inevitable.
At SageWater, we see a high volume of premature piping system failures due to the use of incompatible materials. Think of a mixture of metals, or plastics and sealants, that don’t play well together on a molecular level.
In this post, we explore some of the issues behind material-based pipe degradation and point out what you can do to help mitigate the risks of failure in your building. READ MORE
