Long-Term Solutions for Aging Building Systems

As buildings and properties age, core plumbing infrastructure begins to deteriorate. We provide strategic replacement and retrofit solutions that improve reliability, reduce leak risk, and extend system lifespan. Projects are phased to minimize disruption and support capital planning.

Preventative and ongoing maintenance for critical building systems minimizes downtime and ensures compliance and comfort.

Services Offered

Riser Replacement and Boiler Room Re-Piping

We specialize in upgrading heating & cooling risers, domestic water and express risers, branch lines, and isolation valves. Projects are carefully planned to minimize disruption to the community while maximizing pressure consistency, water distribution, and system reliability.

Critical Underground Infrastructure Upgrades

Older residential and townhouse communities have steel water distribution and clay drainage piping. Rust and root intrusions cause degradation and failures in these piping networks. Underground pipe locating with depth finding capabilities, leads to efficient replacement, decreasing downtime and disruption.

Booster Pump System Upgrades and Maintenance

Our team installs, services, and troubleshoots pressure-boosting equipment to ensure reliable distribution and optimal performance across your building. Incentives and Rebates available for the installation of new high-efficiency booster pumps.

Backflow Preventer Testing & Surveys

Protect your potable water system with certified backflow preventer installation, repair, and annual testing. We work with commercial and municipal-grade assemblies and provide all required documentation to complete mandated surveys and achieve regulatory compliance.

Mixing Valve Service and Installation

Routine maintenance ensures proper regulation of hot water to prevent scalding at point of use fixtures. We install, diagnose and repair thermostatic and electronic mixing valves to restore consistent hot water delivery and maintain temperatures as per OBC Section 7.6.5

PRV Installation, Maintenance and Testing

Extra strain on the plumbing infrastructure and equipment is inevitable when the pressure is too high. When the pressure is not regulated, pinholes can develop, burst pipes can occur and equipment will have a shorter lifespan. Protect your investments with regular PRV maintenance.

Clean-out Retrofits and Stack Flushing

Grease and debris accumulation negatively impacts stack performance and results in backups causing costly damage. Clean-outs are strategically installed to enable periodic flushing to remove buildup and restore drainage potential. Drain cameras are used to provide focused cleaning and an overview of the before and after condition of the stacks. Reduce emergency service calls and costly damage by employing a regular stack flushing program.

Sani/Storm/Elevator Pit & Upgrades and Maintenance

The pumps in the basement or lowest parking level of your building function with a series of float switches in a control panel. These pumps, are responsible for keeping your elevator shaft dry, removing water from the foundation and floor drains and ensuring the garage stays dry during a heavy rain. In many circumstances, wipes are being flushed and cause the pumps to clog. Pump, panel and float upgrades are designed to macerate waste and pump it safely to the city main sewer.

Drain Replacement and Catch Basin Cleaning

Blocked drains cause a flood risk during periods of high water usage. Regular maintenance greatly reduces the risk of flooding and property damage. Leaves, sand, grease and debris can block drains and substantially reduce the capacity of the drainage system. Address problems before they turn into costly disasters by targeted installation and cleaning of high risk drains.

Specialty Services

Water Consumption Audits & Conservation Strategies

Buildings and communities use a substantial amount of water. Increased water consumption normally indicate a leak or excessive consumption. Our advanced equipment coupled with analytics, can detect leaks, plot trends and recommend improvements and repairs to save water and money.

Groundwater Sampling & Meter Calibration

Properties with an SDA (Sewer Discharge Agreement) are required to provide sample testing and meter calibration every year. Municipalities demand testing of over 30 contaminants in private discharge water as a requirement of the agreement.

Valve Identification & Tagging

Valves are crucial in the event of an emergency or when repairs are required. Each valve has a specific purpose and controls certain fixtures within a range of units. If your building is without valve charts and your valves are without tags, training a maintenance manager or superintendent for an emergency is nearly impossible.

Advanced Leak Detection and Flow Monitoring

Identify leaks in buried or hidden infrastructure is a challenge easily met and overcome with the correct equipment. Ultrasonic flow meters allow for non-invasive investigation and reporting of water usage when installing in line meters is not feasible.

Given the expansive nature and complexity of plumbing systems, each project has unique requirements and considerations. Feel free to contact us with some details and we would be happy to evaluate and prepare a roadmap tailored to the specific needs of your project.
