Plumbing is one of the most difficult things to repair in your home. The lines could already be causing problems long before you detect them, and it’s difficult to access them without doing lots of expensive damage to your home. One great way to deal with all these problems and more is to use ePIPE Restoration to replace your pipes–without really replacing your pipes. Here’s what we mean.
What is ePIPE Restoration?
The ePIPE process first cleans and dries your pipes from the inside, using tools inserted at an access point. The buildup of debris and lime is cleared away, restoring the pipe’s original inside diameter. Then a layer of epoxy is spread inside the pipe, sealing off the old material and creating a brand-new pipe inside the old pipe.
Pipe Restoration and Leak Control
When your plumbing experiences a big leak, it’s obvious. Smaller leaks can be much harder to detect, sometimes escaping even the most attentive plumbers. As a result, you might replace a pipe section with a small leak but stop just short of a very small leak a few inches into the next section. ePIPE Restoration avoids that problem because it coats the entire pipe. Even the smallest leak won’t go undetected.
Elimination of Contaminants
The health risks associated with lead pipes are a well-known health concern, but few people can afford to replace all their plumbing to deal with it. With ePIPE Restoration, that is a realistic goal. The epoxy coating is supported and protected by the original pipe, but it excludes contaminants that may be present in the pipe or leaking into it from the soil. You can re-coat all your pipes and seal off the lead and other substances for safe, environmentally friendly water usage.
Improved Water Flow
Old pipes are often caked with lime and other materials that shrink their diameter and cause water to move more slowly. This can lead to clogs and low pressure. The ePIPE Restoration system restores lines to their original diameter, then lines the pipes with a durable epoxy to reduce future buildup. The result is a cleaner, larger pipe that will provide years of improved performance for every fixture and appliance in your home.
ePIPE Restoration means Clear, Rust-Free Water
Old pipes often allow rust to mix with water, giving you unsightly water at the unsuitable tap for cooking and laundry. Instead of running new pipes to give you clean water, ePIPE Restoration will seal off the rust and provide you with a clean, nonmetal plumbing system that will provide you with crystal-clear water for all your family’s needs. There are no laundry stains, no kids turning their noses up at tooth brushing time, and no embarrassing rust for visitors to see in your kitchen sink.
The cost to re-plumb an entire house is beyond most families’ budgets. The ePIPE system accomplishes the same thing at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience.
