Burst risers and supply lines in high-rises
Why it happens here
Shared risers in downtown office towers and condo buildings carry water under constant pressure. When a joint or valve fails, water travels down through multiple floors before anyone notices. The density of the Central Business District makes this a weekly occurrence somewhere in the core.
Our approach
We isolate the affected zone, check every floor below with a thermal imaging camera, and dry each level separately. We coordinate with building engineers on the riser repair and document moisture readings on every floor for the property manager and insurer.
