The Problem:
A 41 unit apartment building in San Diego, CA was experiencing pinhole leaks. Chloramines in the water supply have been eating away at all types of piping systems at an epidemic rate, and Southern California is one of the nation’s hot spots for pinhole leaks.
The Solution:
ePIPE FRS with a 2 hour return to service.
With less mess, stress and destruction than a traditional repipe, patented ePIPE “in-place” pipe restoration is the proven long-term solution for failing piping systems. The minimally invasive ePIPE process restores pipes from the inside out, and protects from future leaks and corrosion.
Orange County based Pipe Restoration Inc., the nation’s largest ePIPE installer, restored the piping system and completed the project on time in less than 5 weeks. All but a few units had water back on every day by 4:30pm, alleviating the need to displace the residents living in the complex.
