Colorado Springs / Colorado
This garden-style community in Colorado Springs was faced with faulty polybutylene piping with copper stub outs. SageWater crews replaced the defective polybutylene with a CPVC system, and completed drywall and paint repairs to the affected surfaces. Throughout the process, water was available to residents on nights and weekends, and no one had to move out during the repipe project.
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
