Comprehensive Infrastructure Due Diligence for Real Estate Investors
Axis National Services provides nationwide due diligence focused on the critical infrastructure that drives property performance. We assess wastewater treatment plants, water systems, sewer pumping systems, and other technical infrastructure to help investors understand true asset condition, risk, and long-term capital needs.
Why Infrastructure Due Diligence Matters
Most deals evaluate financials and site conditions but overlook aging or non-compliant infrastructure. These hidden systems can:
- Trigger unexpected post-closing capital expenditures
- Create environmental or regulatory exposure
- Restrict future development or expansion
- Reduce long-term NOI and asset value
Our due diligence provides a clear understanding of system condition, capacity, and risk—supporting stronger pricing, smarter negotiations, and accurate CapEx planning.
What We Evaluate
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)
We conduct full evaluations of package and centralized WWTPs for manufactured housing communities, RV parks, residential developments, and mixed-use properties. Our review includes:
- Permits, design capacity, and actual flows
- Treatment process configuration and equipment age
- Condition of tanks, basins, blowers, pumps, and controls
- Discharge monitoring reports and compliance history
- Near-term and long-term capital needs
Water Production & Distribution Systems
Our assessments cover:
- Wells, pumps, pressure systems, and storage tanks
- Distribution piping and appurtenances
- Treatment systems and water quality records
- Regulatory compliance and sampling history
- Capacity constraints that may limit future growth
Sewer Pumping & Collection Systems
We review:
- Lift stations, pumps, controls, and redundancy
- Force mains and gravity lines
- Alarm and failure history
- Condition, code compliance, and system vulnerabilities
- Recommended repairs and replacement priorities
Other Technical Infrastructure
Additional infrastructure evaluations include:
- Stormwater systems and detention facilities
- On-site utilities and service connections
- Infrastructure supporting expansions or redevelopment
