The Problem
A REIT was acquiring a 6-building portfolio. Their due diligence flagged potential plumbing issues. The deal was at risk unless leak conditions could be verified within 2 weeks.
Detection Method
Rapid 6-building audit over 10 days: thermal imaging of all common areas, acoustic testing of risers in 3 representative buildings, underground leak detection on all service lines.
Results
Portfolio was found to have sound plumbing with only 2 minor issues. Report satisfied the buyer's engineering consultant. Deal closed on schedule at the agreed price.
