A tall building puts more floors, fixtures and people on every stack. We inspect and clean your risers from the roof and existing cleanouts, line the sections that are suitable and replace the fittings that are not, one stack at a time.
Estimates are free. Camera inspections may carry a charge.
A New Jersey skyscraper where we inspected, cleaned and restored more than 2,000 feet of Sovent risers.
Of Sovent risers inspected, cleaned and restored in a 25- to 30-story, 254-unit Maryland tower.
Of sanitary-riser lining across four 18.5-story Florida towers with 836 units.
Sovent uses one stack for drainage and venting, with an aerator fitting at each floor, a deaerator at the base and a pressure-relief line. Scale and debris build up in those fittings and in the relief line, and the backups show up on lower floors. We inspect and clean your system with its fittings in mind and treat it as the Sovent system it is.
In conventional stacks, scale narrows your pipe and corrosion opens joints and thin spots behind finished walls. Where the iron can still carry a liner, we line the stack from inside and reopen each branch connection.
Every stack turns at its base into the horizontal building drain, and that turn takes the full flow from every floor above. Cracked base fittings, sags and failing underground mains cause backups that look like stack problems. We inspect the base and the mains in the same survey.
Roof penetrations and cleanouts give us access to most of a stack’s height without opening walls on every floor.
The footage shows the floors where buildup, cracks or failed fittings sit, so each stack gets its own scope.
We remove buildup mechanically and collect it with an industrial vacuum, as we did on 16 Sovent risers in two 30-story Tampa towers.
Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) restores sound stack sections from inside. Failed fittings and unsuitable sections are replaced.
On a four-tower Florida property, we bypassed an entire tower for the underground work.
Closeout footage shows each restored stack before we move to the next.
Each riser runs about 252 feet. We collected the removed debris with an industrial vacuum.
These figures come from a separate reference-list entry and are not part of the Tampa account.
Our record also includes high-rise Sovent work in New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. Today we take on projects across Florida and in California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, confirming fit, mobilization and scheduling for each one outside Florida.
Stacks in good condition are marked as such, so you can fund the stacks that need work now and monitor the rest.
Your plumbing drawings will show a single stack with aerator fittings at each floor and a deaerator at the base, instead of separate drain and vent stacks. If you do not have drawings, our camera inspection identifies the fittings.
Sovent risers are inspected and cleaned with their specialized fittings in mind. We propose lining only for sections where inspection and system-aware review support it, and we replace pipe where they do not.
We reach most of a stack from the roof and cleanouts. Some units on a line need a short entry to reopen branch connections or reach a fitting, and we schedule those with your management team.
Where the work requires it, we bypass the flow around the section being repaired. On one four-tower property, we bypassed an entire tower while we lined its underground mains.
