Water pipes in buildings over fifteen years old develop hidden problems. Polvodi provides preventive diagnostic services for residential building water networks — so your building committee knows what needs attention before a burst causes serious damage.
Buildings constructed more than fifteen years ago have water networks that were installed once and largely forgotten. Copper joints oxidize, flexible connectors fatigue, and pressure fluctuations gradually weaken connections — all invisibly, until something fails.
By the time a burst flexible hose floods the apartment below at three in the morning, the damage has been building for years. Emergency repairs cost far more than preventive ones, and the disruption to residents is significant.
Each service addresses a different aspect of your building's water network condition. Together they provide a comprehensive assessment that gives your building committee the information needed for informed maintenance decisions.
A miniature camera travels through your building's water pipes, capturing high-resolution footage of the interior condition. Blockages, corrosion, mineral deposits, and structural deformations become visible without opening walls or floors.
We isolate and test each section of the network under controlled pressure conditions. This identifies sections with micro-leaks, weakened joints, or pressure inconsistencies that would otherwise remain invisible until they become acute failures.
Connections and joints are the most vulnerable points in any water network. We analyze the degree of corrosion at unions, assess material degradation, and identify which connections are approaching the end of their serviceable life.
All findings are compiled into a clear written report addressed to your building committee. It includes the estimated remaining useful life of each network section and a comparison of repair costs now versus projected costs if failures occur without intervention.
A structured process that minimizes disruption to residents while producing a thorough, actionable assessment of your building's water infrastructure.
We discuss your building's age, known issues, and the scope of the inspection. We then schedule a site visit at a time that suits residents.
Our technicians carry out the endoscopic inspection, pressure tests, and joint analysis. Work is done with minimal intrusion into occupied units.
Camera footage is reviewed, pressure data is processed, and corrosion findings are assessed against service-life benchmarks for the pipe materials used.
You receive a written report with findings, remaining useful life estimates per section, and a cost comparison between timely repair and deferred failure.
A look at the diagnostic process — from the equipment we use to the conditions we find inside residential building water networks.
Building committees make long-term decisions about infrastructure that affects every resident. A diagnostic report gives committees factual data — not guesswork — about the condition of the water network and what maintenance actions are appropriate.
Endoscopic inspection reveals conditions inside pipes that no visual check from the outside can show.
The report compares repair costs now versus projected damage costs if the network fails without intervention.
Reports are written for building committees, not engineers — clear language, practical recommendations.
