Our 3-Step Pipe Lining Process
Step 1: Dry and sand the pipe system
Step 1 involves disconnecting fixtures and appliances from the water system and installing our adaptive hardware. Water is evacuated by forcing pressurized air through the hot and cold pipe systems. After all water has been exhausted, the internal pipe surface is cleaned and profiled with an abrading agent. All abrassive materials are exhausted from the system making the pipes ready for epoxy coating.
Step 2: Apply epoxy throughout the pipe system
Epoxy is mixed and applied according to a predetermined application order. Tests are conducted to ensure all airways are clear and permit positive flow. The entire epoxy application is cured for about one hour. After the curing period all adapters are removed and the jobsite is cleaned. The system is allowed to cure for 24 hours before restoring water service.
Step 3: Reconnect fixtures and test the water service
On the day following final curing all new hardware is installed, replacing those removed on the first day. An air pressure test is conducted to confirm that the system completely sealed. After the system passes inspection, water service is restored to the pipe systems and a rinse of the system is performed. A final inspection is conducted, completing the entire process.
