What you don’t know about your buildings’ pipe systems could hurt you.
The pipe systems within commercial and residential buildings are vulnerable to system failures due to age and natural deterioration. Common problems include cracks, leaks, holes, corrosion buildup, lead and copper leaching, rusty water, foul smelling water and root intrusion. Any one of those issues could cause a system failure and/or property damage, which can be costly, time-consuming and inconvenient for both the property owner and the tenants.
Too often, property owners are not aware of pipe system failures until it is too late.
The traditional fix for one of the before-mentioned pipe problems is a re-pipe. The basic procedure for a re-pipe job consists of the property owner spending a lot of money to tear out the pipe system, which causes a lot of destruction to the property and possibly hinders use of the building. Then a brand new pipe system is installed; doomed to have the same problems within a matter of years.
Why throw out the baby with the bathwater?
Nu Flow offers cost-effective, in-place technology to clean and line all types of pipes ranging from 1/2” to 12” in diameter without digging, tearing up walls, ceilings or floors, removing pipes or having to close the building. Our technology creates a new pipe within the original pipe, restoring the pipe system to a “better than new” condition for a long-term solution.
Within time, all pipe systems will develop problems due to age, corrosion or debris. After 10 years, built-up corrosion can block 30 percent of flow in the pipe line and after 20 years, corrosion can block 70 percent of normal flow. Whether your drain or potable systems are aged, showing signs of trouble or brand new, Nu Flow’s in-place lining is a smart investment that can save you a headache. The best way to stop or prevent unavoidable pipe system problems is to get your pipe system lined, and therefore protected.
Nu Flow’s technology is unique and effective, using patented cured-in-place epoxy pipe lining solutions that are installed directly into the untouched pipe. This eco-friendly technology greatly extends the life of potable pipe systems, drain lines, storm drains, sewer pipes, HVAC lines and fire suppression systems. Nu Flow is the first and only company of its kind to offer complete inside infrastructure rehabilitation from a single source and is the fastest-growing lining company in the small-diameter pipe lining industry today.
Whether you are proactively looking for a way to prevent pipe havoc or if you are currently experiencing pipe back-ups, leaks or corrosion, call Nu Flow to investigate your piping system and develop the perfect solution for you.
