Design District slab leak — what makes this neighborhood distinct
Repositioned by Craig Robins and Dacra starting 2005 from light-industrial to luxury retail + design showroom district. Luxury retail global flagships (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Dior, Bvlgari) + Institute of Contemporary Art Miami For slab leak specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1920s–60s historic + 2005+ luxury retail conversion + boutique residential infill construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the mixed era — galvanized survivors + pex-a + smart-home water supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Buckminster Fuller Fly's Eye Dome relocated to Palm Court as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. Luxury retail tenant standards + after-hours retail-clean-up scheduling + high-value tile + period-finish preservation.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Design District
PEX-A reroute over slab cut wherever possible to preserve original terrazzo, tile, and historic finishes. Different Design District buildings call for different repair pathways — we default to the least-invasive option that solves the problem long-term.
PEX-A reroute through walls + ceilings
Bypass failed under-slab run with new PEX-A supply through wall cavities, attic chases, or ceiling joists — preserves finishes.
Default — preserves finishesControlled slab cut + spot repair
Where reroute geometry doesn't work, controlled access cut through slab, repair, pressure-test, patch.
When reroute impossibleFull PEX-A repipe
When multiple leaks indicate end-of-life supply, full repipe through wall + attic cavities; abandoned under-slab line stays isolated.
