Every property owner can benefit by having AquaAudit perform a detailed and comprehensive water audit of its buildings. Property management firms know they stand the most to gain when they turn over their entire portfolio of buildings to AquaAudit for review.

Audit times can vary depending upon the complexity of what’s involved. Most can be completed in 30 days, while some can take several months.

What is the cost of an audit?

Audits are performed on a contingency basis, so there is never an up-front or out-of-pocket expense. We only get paid if a savings, credit or refund is obtained.

What types of properties should have their bills audited?

Any DEP bill can contain errors, so the specific type of property doesn’t really matter. Whether or not the building is strictly residential (co-op, condo, rental) strictly commercial, a mixed-use property, a warehouse or an institutional building, all can benefit.
