Problem

Rehabilitate condominium building’s potable risers without displacing residents.

Solution

Nu Flow was selected to retrofit the system with our long-term, affordable and noninvasive pipe lining solution.

The epoxy coatings for potable water, provide a long-term solution to corrosion, pinhole leaks and leaching of lead and other heavy metals into drinking water. Nu Flow rehabilitated the galvanized risers without the need for demolition or occupant displacement. The pipes were cleaned of all corrosion and buildup and a thin, evenly coated layer of Nu Flow’s patented epoxy was applied to stop corrosion and prevent future leaks.

Left unprotected, potable pipe systems will age and develop problems whether in commercial, industrial and residential buildings. Whether you are experiencing problems now or are interested in preventing the inevitable failure of your plumbing system, Nu Flow is available to restore your peace of mind.

Result

Nu Flow successfully completed a pipe-retrofitting project without displacing any residents at a condominium complex. Nu Flow restored a potable galvanized pipe system using Nu Flow’s patented epoxy lining solution, demonstrating the applicability of the technology beyond copper pipes. By choosing Nu Flow over a traditional re-pipe, the customer saved approximately 50%.
