Water Leak and Slab Leak Detection and Repair - Nu Flow Services Epoxy Pipe Lining

Homeowners appreciate that Nu Flow's patented pipe lining system restores, repairs and renews broken and corroded pipes without the destruction, mess and disruption of traditional pipe repair and replacement.

It’s well known that water pipes begin to deteriorate the moment pipes are put into service. In the 1970's and 1980's, cities were required to add disinfectants to drinking water supplies. These chemicals are used to make drinking water safer by eliminating bacteria and other harmful substances, but there is something ironic about this practice; the chemicals used to make drinking water safer also erode and corrode metal piping systems, and these processes can lead to the leaching of heavy metals, like lead, into the water supply.

Pipe Corrosion Over Time:

Chemicals added to municipal water supplies are not the only enemies of water lines. Residential piping systems also sustain damage by the use of outdated and inferior industry practices; exposure to water with an unsatisfactory pH level or too many minerals (hard water); and exposure to frequent high water temperatures.

As the pipes slowly break down, pinholes begin to appear and create tiny leaks. These small leaks can lead to big problems if they are not detected soon enough. In addition to structural water damage, the damp areas created by water dripping through the pinholes can foster mold growth, which can be a big problem in residential structures. Not only does mold generate an unpleasant odor, but it can also create health problems for people living in the house.

Once pinholes are detected, many plumbers recommend replacing the damaged section of pipe. Depending on the extent of the problem, this can involve digging up floors and tearing down walls. Homeowners are often unaware that a pinhole problem is probably not limited to one small section of the piping system. If one area of pipe has pinholes, there is a very high chance that other areas are, or soon will be, plagued with pinhole problems, too.

Why not repair the entire pipe system at the same time, with no destruction or mess? The Nu Flow process of re-lining your water piping system will restore and renew it to better-than-original condition. You will have no more problems with dangerous substances leaching into your water from your residential piping system, and pinhole problems will be a thing of the past. As a bonus, many people say that their water tastes better after using the Nu Flow process. All with no demolition and with a guarantee that you’ll be free of future leaks.

A leak under a concrete floor or foundation is called a slab leak. You may have a slab leak if you:

• Feel a hot spot beneath the slab (leaking hot water pipe)
• Hear water running and cannot locate a usual source
• Have a high (or higher than usual) water bill
• Detect a persistent wet area on the floor
• Notice a discolored area on your flooring

A slab leak may be caused by either incoming water or drain water. Incoming water is under pressure and is the most likely cause of problems. You may notice your water bill going up and a loss of water pressure throughout the house if the leak is of sufficient size and is coming from the main incoming water line.

Nu Flow repairs slab most leaks without exposing the water leak. Using the Nu Flow patented epoxy pipe lining technology, we repair the leak from a remote location that does not require destruction of interior or exterior structures or landscape. And in the case of slab leaks, Nu Flow will re-line the entire water line beneath the slab so there is no danger of more pinholes erupting beneath the concrete. Nu Flow will repair and protect your water lines without destruction, demolition or mess. Is there any question that the Nu Flow process is a superior choice?

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. When needed, temporary bypass water piping is installed, then 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!

For full protection from both the harmful chloramines added by municipal water authorities, and the heavy metals that may already be in the water before it reaches your home, check out Nu Flow's whole house water filtration system. A filter used on a single faucet only cleans the water coming from that particular tap, and those types of filters are usually installed in the kitchen. That means that if the residential water lines are distributing water laden with heavy metals, the residents will still be exposed to the contaminants while they are bathing and brushing their teeth. Nu Flow can help you get exceptional water quality from every tap in your home by installing a whole house water filtration system; your hot water heater, washing machine, and other water-using appliances will last longer with fewer water-related problems, too.

Nu Flow also offers their patented Pipes Down Under® trenchless repair system for underground swimming pool piping. This helix lining system is also used in decorative fountains and waterfalls.

Whatever your water piping needs, Nu Flow can help keep the water flowing where it's needed. You want high quality water line repairs, completed quickly, with a minimum amount of hassle and no mess. Nu Flow's epoxy pipe lining system is safe, durable, fast and cost effective. Nu Flow delivers what you want.

Permanent, affordable pipe and drain repair with NO digging or destruction!
