FAQ
ACE DuraFlo eliminates every burden associated with a conventional repipe. It is proven and used in thousands of applications. We have included some of the frequently asked questions about the ACE DuraFlo-ePIPE System.
Q1. Does pipe restoration save money?
A1. YES! Since pipe restoration restores a building's piping system within the walls, owners save money by not destroying walls, and having to patch, tape, texture, paint, wallpaper or re-tile. The savings of the reconstruction cost makes pipe restoration the much less expensive alternative. Even better, your home will not be full of sheetrock dust for weeks after a conventional repipe.
Q2. Does the pipe restoration outlast a new pipe?
A2. YES! New pipes start to deteriorate the moment the wate
r is turned on. Epoxy lined pipes protect from future corrosion or pinhole leaks indefinitely. ePipe has a manufacturers' warranty of 25 years!
Q3. Can an ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System restoration be planned around my or my occupants schedule?
A3. YES! The ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System restoration is planned as far ahead as possible. A homeowner will be able to schedule their home as far in advance as they like. The process should not compromise ones standard of living. Most clients stay in their home for the few days the job takes.
Q4. What type of pipe can the ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System restore?
A4. The ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System is designed to restore all ferrous & non-ferrous piping systems. In galvanized or metal piping systems, after throughly drying the pipes, the rust and corrosion buildup within the pipe is removed to restore full water flow. Pipes are then protected to ensure future buildup never happens. Copper pipes are cleaned of any oxidization and coated with an epoxy barrier.
Q5. Is the ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System method safe?
A5. YES! The ACE DuraFlo ePIPE System does not use chemicals in its cleaning process, meeting North America's strictest water safety standards. In addition, the epoxy used in the process is NSF61 certified safe for use in potable water systems and conforms to the plumbing codes.
Q6. Who has used Pipe Restoration?
A 6. Some
of the largest companies and cities worldwide have taken advantage of this proven technology for many years. The list of clients include hotels, government agencies, property managers, building owners, hospitals, U.S. Navy, primary care facilities, and universities and many thousands of homeowners who have chosen ePIPE.
Q7. If pipes are old and fragile, can the ACE DuraFlo System fix my pipes?
A7. YES! The cleaning process is so refined that it can recondition most piping systems back to full operating condition.
Q8. If a large hole is found or a blow-out occurs, can you fix it?
A8. YES! Sometimes large holes are found in the piping system once the encrustation is removed from the piping walls. If a large hole is found, depending on the size and location, we simply repair, replace or seal the affected pipe and continue with the process.
Q9. Will carpet and flooring be protected?
A9. YES! The crew conducts all their work inside the building so no mud or dirt will be tracked in. The only working material likely to touch the flooring is the food grade hose that supplies the air to the piping system. In the event that the flooring requires special attention, floor covers are put down before work begins.
Q10. Is the ACE DuraFlo System the most environmentally friendly alternative?
A10. YES! The ACE DuraFlo System significantly reduces waste and strain on landfills compared to the conventional repipe method.
