Water
intrusion, costing millions of dollars a year, is
a huge issue in multi-story building construction
and design. Intrusion damage is caused by storms,
broken water lines, failing hot water heaters, faulty
construction, etc. During construction, intrusion
delays project completion and causes high cost overruns.
After the building is occupied the cost is even
higher with the personal property damage and the
likelihood of unexpected mold and its financial
impact. The end result is higher insurance costs
for everyone. Contractors, building owners, engineers,
architects, insurance companies and many other people
in the building and construction field are asking
for water tight penetrations to help reduce these
serious issues.
The
Holdrite HydroFlame cast-in-place sleeve is the
first pipe pass through device to fully address
water intrusion for floor penetrations. From its
contact with the service pipe, to its contact with
the surrounding concrete, the Holdrite HydroFlame
one piece, mid-body seal provides full water intrusion
protection through a revolutionary design that allows
for expansion and contraction throughout the mid-body
seal of the HydroFlame cast-in-place device. Using
Holdrite HydroFlame cast-in-place sleeves makes
pipe pass through locations one less place for water
intrusion to occur.
