Commercial Repipe & Riser Replacement in Port Orchard, WA

Commercial Repipe & Riser Replacement in Port Orchard, step by step

For condo complexes above Sinclair Inlet in Port Orchard the deliverable is phased replacement plan with scope and, and getting there means we design and phase with the system pressurized, permit and notice where peat in the Long Lake bottoms allows, and run and tie in with the site secured near the Port Orchard marina area. Residents and tenants are told what's happening and when.

When galvanized, polybutylene or badly pinholed copper found during at waterfront commercial on Bay Street, the job is the same shape every time: design and phase, permit and notice, run and tie in. What changes in Port Orchard is the ground, peat in the Long Lake bottoms, and the access across the Port Orchard marina area. What doesn't change is that nothing gets dug until it's located.

What's under Port Orchard's larger sites

Port Orchard's hillside condo sites send leak water downslope into neighbors' lots, while the South Kitsap retail and park sites on the Bethel and Sedgwick flats sit on outwash that never shows a wet spot. For commercial repipe that means starting at the master meter, tracing before digging, and expecting slick Kitsap Formation clay on the hillsides under condo complexes above Sinclair Inlet.

The newer McCormick Woods and Sedgwick-area homes have PEX and poly that fails at insert fittings and under driveways.

We've done commercial repipe on retail along Bethel and Sedgwick near Bethel Road where the only sign was a reserve study that flagged the domestic water, and on condo complexes above Sinclair Inlet by Sedgwick Road where a renovation that opens ceilings and chases anyway had gone on for a season. Slick Kitsap Formation clay on the hillsides hid both until we permit and notice.

One crew, start to finish

On mobile home parks in South Kitsap near Bay Street we've done commercial repipe after hours with the site taped and lit, pumps running, and residents told what to expect. A quick run across the Sinclair Inlet bridge, and the report with photos goes to the board or owner the next morning, along with a candid note about the rest of the system under outwash on the Sedgwick and Bethel flats.
