- Minimal disruption to residents. Whether we’re working on the interior pipes of a building or a water main on the street, we can complete the job with minimal demolition or excavation. In fact, in most cases, tenants can remain in the building during the job.
- A more permanent solution. With epoxy lining, we are eliminating the cause of the corrosion, and extending the life of the pipe. You can expect an epoxy-lined pipe to last 40-60 years.
- A more cost-effective solution during the job and after. Lining the pipes will save you 30-40% over replacement. And because you’re eliminating the cause of the corrosion, your cost in addition repairs, insurance and property damage is also reduced dramatically.
- Better water quality. Epoxy lining provides your residents years of clean, safe water, free from the hazards of corrosion.
- A better warranty. With pipe replacement, the typical warranty is just 1-2 years. With CuraFlo, your pipes are guaranteed up to 10 years.
