Case Study - Jones Residence
See how the Nu Flow process repaired copper piping at the Jones
residence in Coronado, California.
Home owners really benefit from the guarantee on pipes
renewed using the patented Nu Flow technology. Watch the Nu Flow process repair water lines without destruction

Unless you detect the unpleasant odor of gas, chances are you rarely, if ever, think about the gas delivery lines in your home. If you live in a new subdivision where new gas lines were recently installed, then you probably don't have much to worry about. But older homes, or even new homes built after the demolition of an old house, may have problems lurking below.
Gas lines are prone to corrosion and erosion similar to water lines. Many homes use gas in their stove/oven, furnace, dryer, hot water heater, gas fireplace and some even run a gas line directly to their outdoor grill. With all these lines running under the house, it is possible for leaks to develop.
If a leak develops beneath the structure, the odor may not be detected until there is a substantial build-up of escaped gas. By that time, even a small spark or lighting a pilot light could ignite an explosion.
If you have older gas lines in your home or coming from the road up to your home, it is a good idea to have them inspected before problems develop. If all is well, it will give you peace of mind. If there are problems, Nu Flow Services can advise you and, if you decide repairs should be made, we can make the repairs using our non-invasive pipe lining technology. No need to tear up your floor, driveway, lawn or anything else, because Nu Flow's process is safe, durable, fast and cost effective.
Flexible and Time Tested
Nu Flow's patented pipe lining technology can be used to restore gas lines and metallic ventilation lines in gas delivery systems. Age and I/I (inflow and infiltration) can cause gas regulation vaults and ventilation pipes to have limited functionality, partially fill with water and debris, and threaten proper ventilation due to obstructions throughout the underground structures. Gas lines rehabilitated using Nu Flow's process are stronger than ever. Nu Flow can easily repair pipe runs containing 45-degree angles and pipe diameter variances.
Nu Flow's technology is not restricted to use in below ground applications. Nu Flow's epoxy can be used in all types of gas, water and sewer lines in almost any setting, even on naval and seagoing vessels. In fact, Nu Flow worked with the U.S. Navy to develop and patent epoxy lining technology to protect aircraft carriers, vessels, and piping in government facilities, and is master licensee of the Navy's patented epoxy and application process.
The epoxy coating used in with the Nu Flow technology has been time tested in every corrosive environment for more than 40 years in Japan, and approximately 25 years in the United States. The life expectancy of the epoxy is estimated to be 100 years.
The Process
First, Nu Flow maps the internal plumbing system to create an implementation plan that will provide the most efficient timeline for completing the job with minimum disruption. The system is drained and tested for leaks using air.
Next, heated compressed air is used to dry all the moisture. The pipe interiors are sandblasted, and air is once again surged through the pipe to remove any residue.
Following another air pressure leak test, the pipe is re-heated to better accept the epoxy coating. After the epoxy is applied, continuous controlled air is sent through the piping to help the epoxy set-up, or cure.
Finally, a leak test and inspection are performed, testing volume and flow to ensure your system is working better than ever!
