ATLANTA — It’s never a good thing when your building is known as “the leaky building.”
That, however, was the reputation of Windsor Over Peachtree, a 22-story, 265-unit condominium in Atlanta. The vapor barrier on the 53-year-old building’s existing steel and copper piping had deteriorated, and the condensation that formed on the pipes caused them to break down from the outside in. The combination of leaks caused by age with damage caused by dripping condensate proved to be a regular and ongoing challenge in the building, and the need for an upgrade was apparent.
