Happy Earth Day: Save Water by Preventing Pipe Leaks with ePIPE

Every Earth Day, people around the world look for practical ways to protect the environment. Some solutions are large-scale, while others start at home or inside a single building. One important step homeowners, businesses, and property managers can take is reducing water waste caused by leaking pipes.

Why leaking pipes matter on Earth Day

Clean water is one of California’s most valuable resources, especially during periods of drought and water restrictions. Yet a significant amount of clean water can be lost through leaking pipes before anyone notices a visible problem.

For homeowners and businesses, one proven way to reduce wasted water is to repair and help prevent pipe leaks with in-place pipe lining technology, such as ePIPE. Instead of waiting for leaks to cause property damage, ePIPE helps rehabilitate existing piping systems from the inside.

Make today the day you take your first step toward helping the environment and addressing water waste.

ePIPE helps California customers reduce water loss

More California cities are requiring homeowners and businesses to repair leaks quickly or risk potential fines. Preventing leaks is no longer just a property maintenance issue; it is also a water conservation issue.

We are proud to share that the patented ePIPE pipe lining technology helped prevent nearly 14.5 million gallons of customer-side domestic water leakage in California last year alone. When property owners choose to renovate their water systems with ePIPE, they are helping protect California’s precious drinking water.

A minimally disruptive alternative to repiping

Homeowners, property managers, building engineers, and facility teams often need to extend the lifespan of their piping systems without the disruption of traditional pipe replacement. ePIPE offers an effective, affordable, and minimally disruptive pipe lining solution designed to rehabilitate domestic water piping systems and help prevent future leaks.

For California’s sake, and for the environment’s sake, extending the life of existing pipes can be a smarter and more sustainable option than waiting for leaks to occur.

How much water can leaks waste?

Pinhole leaks are one of the leading causes of water loss in homes and buildings. It is estimated that 5% to 10% of American homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons of water per day or more. That means some properties may be losing water right now without the owner seeing or hearing the leak.

The impact can be even greater in commercial buildings. One leaking toilet in a commercial building can waste approximately 21,600 gallons of water per month, while one broken distribution line can waste that same amount in just one day.

Hidden leaks can quickly become expensive, wasteful, and damaging.

Fast return to service with ePIPE epoxy coating

The ePIPE process uses a specialized epoxy coating designed to restore piping systems from the inside. With a return to service in as little as two hours, ePIPE helps minimize downtime for homes, businesses, tenants, and building operations.

Compared with traditional repiping or other pipe lining options, ePIPE can help reduce disruption while improving the condition of existing piping systems.

Why wait days when your pipes may be restored faster?

Where ePIPE can be used

ePIPE technology can be used to rehabilitate several types of piping systems, including:

• Potable water piping
• HVAC piping
• Fire suppression systems
• Pool piping
• Fountain piping

This solution is used in residential, commercial, high-rise, and industrial buildings.
