Running a hotel or managing a multifamily property comes with constant upkeep – and plumbing is one of the biggest hidden expenses. Leaks, frequent repairs, tenant complaints, and rising water bills can quickly eat into your operating budget.
For many property owners, the root of these issues isn’t just bad luck – it’s aging plumbing systems. Repiping your building is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make to cut costs, improve efficiency, and protect your properties value.
Why Old Plumbing Becomes a Money Drain
Most Hotels and apartment complexes in Colorado were built decades ago, often with galvanized steel or polybutylene piping. These materials breakdown overtime, ultimately leading to…
· Frequent leaks and emergency calls that drive up maintenance labor costs.
· Water damage repairs from ceiling stains, drywall replacement, and mold remediation.
· Inefficient water flow and higher utility bills due to corrosion and build up.
· Negative guest and tenant experiences, resulting in poor reviews or a higher turnover.
What feels like “routine maintenance” is actually a red flag that your building is due for a complete replumb.
How Replumbing Saves Money in the Long Run
When you replace old, failing pipes with modern PEX or brand new copper systems, you’re not just avoiding headaches — you’re making a strategic financial move. Here’s how:
Fewer Emergency Repairs
No more constant service calls for leaks or clogs costing hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Your maintenance staff can focus on preventative work instead of being in crisis mode and on edge.
Lower Insurance Risks
Insurance claims for water damage are among the costliest. Pipe failures within properties can make insurance rates and deductibles jump.
Repiping reduces your risk profile and may even lower premiums.
Increased Property Value
A documented new plumbing system makes your property more attractive to buyers and lenders.
For multifamily investors, that means a stronger NOI (Net Operating Income).
Reduced Tenant Turnover
Happy tenants means longer leases. Constant leaks and pipe problems can even damage your companies reputation for future residents.
Guests in hotels are less likely to complain about low water pressure or bathroom issues.
Utility Savings
New piping improves water efficiency.
Over hundreds of units or dozens of hotel rooms, those savings add up quickly.
Replumbing may feel like a major undertaking, but when you look at the math and with the right company, it’s one of the best ways to protect your bottom line. Instead of pouring money into constant patchworks fixes – investing in a full repipe creates predictable operating costs, boosts property value, and improves tenant/guest experience.
