What We See in West Sand Lake
Route 43 businesses
The businesses along Route 43 range from older converted buildings to newer plaza space. Older buildings often have original drains and heating, while plaza units are usually heated and cooled by rooftop units. Restaurants and food businesses depend on hot water, kitchen drains and refrigeration.
Small offices and services
Professional offices, salons and service businesses need dependable restrooms, hot water and comfort. Salons in particular use a lot of hot water and send hair and product down their drains, so they benefit from regular drain care.
Winter on the hill
West Sand Lake sits higher than Troy and the river cities, and winters can feel it. Buildings left on low heat over weekends or holidays are at risk of frozen pipes, especially along exterior walls and in crawlspaces.
The plaza
Shared plazas mean shared systems. A rooftop unit may serve one tenant or several, and drain lines often run under more than one unit before reaching the street. When a problem crosses tenant lines, we trace it to the source so the landlord and tenants know who needs to fix it, and the repair gets done without delay.
