WATER PIPING PLAGUED WITH LEAKS
The Polk County School District and the school officials from Sikes Elementary were plagued by pinhole leaks in their bathroom water piping. Having to continually patch the leaky copper piping, they installed “patch plates” over holes in the walls to make it easier to access the piping the next time they had a leak instead of permanently tiling the walls.
THE FIX FROM Florida Pipe-Lining Solutions AND ePIPE
After doing their research and looking at their options, Polk County School officials chose the non destructive ePIPE® System from Florida Pipe-Lining Solutions. Holder of 8 Patents, this unique epoxy barrier coating system restores water pipes to a like-new condition without the destruction, mess, and remodeling associated with re-piping. The Senior Project Engineer from FPS surveyed the failing bathroom piping and planned the restoration. As Florida’s Leader in pipe restoration, FPS provides our clients the highest quality service, workmanship and safety in the industry. All FPS Technicians have the Jessica Lunsford Certification with Level 2 Security Clearance. Senior Restoration Tech, John Richards was Project Supervisor on the Sikes School project. John and his crew shut off the water supply, then used heated compressed air to clean the inside of the old piping. Then they installed the NSF approved ePIPE epoxy barrier coating to the inside of the water piping, providing a durable porcelain like finish that prevents leaks from returning, and stops lead from leaching into the water. After the epoxy lining was cured, the newly restored water piping was pressure tested and the entire system being serviced was put back on line.
SATISFACTION AT SIKES ELEMENTARY
Working over Spring Break to minimize any disruption to school facilities, Techs from Florida Pipe-Lining Solutions were able to bring the old copper piping back to life. No more leaks or dangerous lead leaching into the students’ water and by using the proven ePIPE® System, the Polk County School District saved time and money.
