How it Works for Hot & Cold Lines 1. Corroded pipes are sand blasted to prepare for rehabilitation. 2. Shots of epoxy are then moved throughout the entire piping system. 3. The end result is a protective epoxy barrier between the pipes and water.
No more pinhole leaks or heavy metals leaching into your water!

Leaks?
How it Works for Drain Lines 1. Blocked and root-intruded pipes are cleaned with a cutting tool. 2. An epoxy impregnated liner is pulled into place and inflated with an internal rubber bladder. The liner is left to cure. 3. The bladder is removed, leaving behind a pipe within a pipe.
No more scale build up or root intrusion!

Nu Flows in-place restoration technology has benefited our customers in a wide variety of ways, which includes dramatic savings in cost, time, inconvenience and destruction when compared to a traditional pipe replacement.
Solution:
Nu Flow sandblasted the pipes to remove buildup, then coated the pipe system with epoxy to cover holes and prevent future failure. Nu Flows solution saved the customer from the cost and logistics of replacing the entire fire suppression system.
Situation:
In 1999, the bases $400 million hospital had just been built. Unfortunately, when soft water ran through the black iron potable lines, it pulled iron out from the pipes, which made the water red. The new hospital could not open until this problem was solved, so a repair was needed quickly.
Solution:
American Pipe Lining, a Nu Flow company, had the perfect solution for the customer. Our blown-in epoxy coating was applied via existing access points to the pipes, so there was no demolition to the new building. Technicians coated about 2 miles of pipes, ranging from 3 to 8 in diameter.
Lateral pipes were experiencing blockage and failures due to root intrusions, cracks, corrosion and failing joints. The typical lateral pipes range from 4 to 6 in diameter and some pipes run up to 120 feet long.
Nu Flow installed more than 10,000 feet of structural liner to residential, commercial and industrial properties in Durham Region. Nu Flows Pull-in-Place liners rehabilitate the pipes and prevent corrosion, blockage and leaks from occurring in the future.

Solution:
Nu Flow sandblasted the system to rid the pipes of buildup and corrosion. Then epoxy was sprayed through the pipes to create a protective barrier to prevent future corrosion or failure.
The 60-year-old, three-story courthouse had heavily corroded potable pipes that ranged from 1/2 to 3 in diameter. The pipes are located under a concrete slab beneath the floors, and the customer wanted to preserve the building.
Situation:
Solution:
While the Lowe Office Building underwent a $9 million renovation, Nu Flow successfully cleaned and lined the aged roof drains and HVAC pipe system without causing destruction to the building or disturbing the other contractors. Nu Flows trenchless solutions greatly extended the useful life of the pipe systems.

Situation:
The cafeterias 24-year-old 4" cast iron dishwasher drain pipe system experienced severe corrosion, leaks and low flow from heavy scale build-up throughout the years. The customer was sick of the pipe system failures but did not want the mess and disruption from a re-pipe.
Solution:
Nu Flows high temperature epoxy accommodated the 140-degrees dishwasher water. Our patented Pull-in-Place structural liner was installed using existing access points, which prevented the need to dig up the kitchen. This liner protects the drain lines from future failures, including leaks.
Situation:
A 3 cast iron drain line, used to drain the elevator shaft from A CCTV investigation revealed that two joints in the pipe hydraulic oil and other fluids, was filling with rain water. The were allowing infiltration. Nu Flows Pull-in-Place structural drain line is located 5 feet under concrete. liner was installed to seal and protect the pipe. The liner cured overnight and the installation process did not disrupt the airports operations.
