Valley Palms, San Jose, CA

Low Water Flow, Discolored Water, Mold, Unhappy Tenants
Valley Palms is a 356 townhouse apartment complex located in the famous Silicon Valley area of California.

The Problem:

With a major overall upgrade slated for this income producing property the owner was faced with a real dilemma. Part of the overall upgrade program included provision to re-pipe the buildings. To re-pipe the buildings would mean massive tenant disruption, loss of income and extraordinary reconstruction costs. The owner, who previously had ACE DuraFlo® restore the piping system in a Los Angeles area complex, knew he had the answer to the re-piping challenges he was facing in San Jose. On the San Jose project, a consortium headed by the Bank of America had to review and approve all methods of reconstruction. Upon presentation they approved the ACE DuraFlo® system - finding it economical, less disruptive than a re-pipe and a long-term solution.

The Solution:

The ACE DuraFlo® system of in-place pipe restoration. The project was completed ahead of schedule with no loss of income from tenant displacement. Water service was fully restored providing for full flow and clean water for the occupants.
