You don’t have to see a problem for it to destroy your building.Behind the walls of nearly every condominium is a system that quietly ages every single day. Most owners never think about it. Many boards never inspect it. Yet when it fails, the result can be special assessments, insurance claims, property damage, health concerns, and repair bills that reach into the millions.This isn’t just a conversation about pipes.It’s a conversation about how hidden risks become financial disasters, why some reserve studies may overlook critical building systems, and how asking the right questions today can help protect owners tomorrow.Eric Glazer sits down with Michael Wilson, founder and owner of CIPP Total Solutions , and his son Loren Wilson, General Manager of Pipelining Technologies, to simplify one of the least-understood but potentially most expensive parts of condominium ownership.If you own a condo, serve on a board, or simply want to understand how to better protect your investment, this episode is for you!Follow CIPP Total Solutions on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/cipp_totalsolutions?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==More resources: CTS - Exposed: What Contractors are Hiding in Your Pipes! https://youtu.be/sLVpwDATkBQ?si=sXzzFeldYKmF8n4-PTI’s Step-by-step CIPP Process Video: How it Works! https://youtu.be/LtZnpEedsg0?si=zzHVjQTp7R3kHrH_PTI: Gapping vs Continuous CIPP: A Side-by-Side Visual Explanation
