The Greenbriar was experiencing severe leaks and flooding from age-related corrosion and failure of its entire hydronic piping system. SageWater replaced the reverse return main distribution system with new bottom fed supply and return headers, which also included the replacement of 544 fan coil units.
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
