What does CIPP mean? - Great! Glad you asked. CIPP is an acronym for Cured In Place Pipe.
Does pipe restoration save a building owner and tenant’s money? - Yes! Since pipe restoration restores a building’s piping system within the walls, owner’s save money by not paying to replace their existing piping system. The costs saved by not destroying walls, removing and replacing pipes, and redecorating make pipe restoration the less expensive alternative.
Is your epoxy lining system method safe? - Yes! The ELS method does not use chemicals in its cleaning process, meeting North America’s strictest water safety standards.
Does the pipe restoration outlast a new pipe? - Yes! New pipes start to deteriorate the moment the water is turned on.
What type of pipe can the ELS system restore? - The ELS system is designed to restore copper, steel, galvanized and metallic pipes. The rust and corrosion buildup within the pipe is removed to restore full water pressure. Pipes are then epoxy coated to protect against future corrosion.
Can an ELS system restoration be planned around the tenant’s schedule? - Yes! The ELS system restoration is planned as far ahead as possible. The process should not compromise a tenant’s standard of living.
If pipes are old and fragile, can the ELS system fix my pipes? - In most cases Yes! However in all cases a site visit must be arranged with an ELS specialist who will assess the problem and make a recommendation.
Who has used epoxy coating for pipe restoration? - Some of the largest companies in the nation have taken advantage of this proven technology for many years. Some customers include the US Navy ships, schools, home owners, condominium owners, hotels, government agencies, property managers, building owners, and hospitals.
If a hole is found, can you fix it? - Yes! Sometimes a hole is found in the piping system. Any holes up to 1/8 inch will be sealed with epoxy. If a larger hole is found we simply replace the affected area of pipe and continue with the process.
Will carpet and flooring be protected when crews are in a room? - Yes! The crews conduct all their work inside the building so no mud or dirt is tracked inside. The only working material likely to touch flooring is the food grade hose that supplies the air to the piping system. In the event that a room requires special attention, ground covers are put down before work is begun?
Is the ELS system the most environmentally friendly alternative? - Yes! The ELS system significantly reduces waste and strain on landfills compared to a conventional re-pipe method.
