How to avoid pipe problems

As condo and multi-unit buildings across Florida age and reserve requirements expand, one critical system continues to be overlooked, the plumbing infrastructure, specifically vertical drainage stacks. This presentation cuts straight to the issue, what’s happening in buildings today, why it’s being missed in reserve studies, and what that means for boards, owners, and reserve professionals responsible for protecting the property and its budget. We’ll break down how CIPP systems work in a clear, practical way, where installations are going wrong, and how those failures impact service life, costs, structural integrity, and warranty eligibility. Using real-world examples and inspection findings, attendees will learn how to properly evaluate these systems, identify risk early, and take the right next steps, whether that’s further investigation, responsible restoration, or proper remediation. The goal is simple, give you the clarity to make the right decision before it turns into a much bigger problem and keeps your building out of the headlines.
