Occupied-Building Specialists
Aging galvanized, polybutylene, and thin-wall copper systems don't fail politely. We repipe full buildings while people live and work in them — domestic water and waste, phased unit by unit, with residents notified, water outages measured in hours, and finishes put back the way we found them.
Domestic Water & Waste Systems
Chronic pinhole leaks, rusty water, dropping pressure, and repeated drywall repairs are not maintenance items — they're a system telling you it's done. Every emergency call, insurance deductible, and unit turn caused by water is money spent on a problem that keeps returning until the piping is replaced.
A single overnight failure in an occupied building can run through several units, trigger a claim, and put you on your carrier's watch list. Add the emergency plumbing calls, remediation, and lost rent, and deferred repiping is usually the most expensive line item nobody budgeted.
We pilot one unit or stack, measure the real production rate, then build a schedule by riser and stack. Residents get written notice with dates and times, water-down windows are held to hours, and crews finish each unit before opening the next.
Notice on the door, protection on the floors, a defined window without water, access limited to the areas we told them about, and their unit put back — drywall patched, textured, and painted — before we move on.
Existing material, routing, pressure, and failure history are documented, and we complete a pilot unit or stack. That gives everyone real production data instead of an optimistic assumption.
You get a schedule by building, riser, and unit, with resident notification templates, access requirements, and the exact water-down windows. Property management approves before anything starts.
New domestic water and waste lines installed, pressure tested, and inspected per jurisdiction, with valves and isolation added where the old system had none — so the next repair doesn't shut down the building.
Openings patched, textured, and painted, units cleaned, and closeout delivered: as-built routing, inspection records, photos, and warranty documentation for the file.
Fit
Portfolios carrying 1970s–1990s piping where leak calls and insurance pressure are both climbing. Phased repiping converts an unpredictable risk into a scheduled capital project.
Shared-system failures that cross unit lines and start arguments about responsibility. A documented, phased repipe with resident communication handled ends the recurring assessments.
Offices, retail, and light industrial with pressure loss, discolored water, or repeat failures above finished ceilings. We work off-hours where tenant operations require it.
No. That's the entire point of how we phase the work. Residents stay in place with scheduled water-down windows and defined access — typically a matter of hours per unit, not days.
Both, depending on the building, water chemistry, routing, jurisdiction, and budget. We'll explain the tradeoff for your specific system rather than defaulting to whatever is fastest to install.
We do, alongside your management team — notice templates, door hangers, schedule updates, and a single point of contact so your office isn't fielding calls it can't answer.
Yes. Buildings, stacks, or risers can be sequenced across multiple fiscal years, prioritized by failure history and consequence. We'll tell you which stack to do first and why.
Scope a Repipe
Tell us about the building — age, piping material if you know it, and how often you're getting leak calls. We'll assess the system, propose a phasing plan that keeps units occupied, and give you a number you can take to ownership or the board.
Thanks — your request is in. A RECON team member will reach out within one business day to get it scheduled. If it's urgent, call (720) 555-0134.
