It is a common occurrence for storm water pipes to be hidden within structural columns on high rise buildings. Strata plumbing problems like this are often costly and time consuming to resolve. That is until, Nuflow delivered a smart solution for high rise and multi-dwelling buildings, shaking up industry thinking.<\/p>\n
In a job Nuflow St George attended to, the strata manager and strata committee had been plagued by a mysterious leak through the ceiling of a 6th<\/sup> floor apartment.<\/p>\n When their local Sydney plumber finally worked out the offending leak was coming from a 100mm PVC storm water pipe and not the water system, they began to remove the ceiling, attempting to resolve the issue. The plumber discovered that this was not an ordinary fix and simply replacing part of the pipework was not an option, as the pipe was deep within a structural column that bears the load of the building above them and breaking it open was not possible.<\/p>\n It was clear this repair was not going to be straight forward. Engineer approval would be needed to disrupt the structural column and ceiling slab, scaffolding would be required to gain access to the external section of down pipe and not to mention the cost of the repair itself. The strata committee started seeing the escalating costs associated with repairing the pipe via replacement and soon realized they needed another more cost effective, less destructive and disruptive option.<\/p>\n The senior strata community leader contacted Nuflow St George to discuss the job as they had heard of pipe relining and wanted to explore if this was an option. After a brief discussion the local Nuflow team offered to investigate the job as they felt confident of a positive, cost effective outcome.<\/p>\n Having over 20 years’ experience solving strata plumbing problems the Nuflow St George team were awarded the challenging job after demonstrating the cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP)<\/a> relining method and assuring management it was possible to fix.<\/p>\nServicing Strata Management <\/strong><\/h2>\n
