• Epoxy brush coating is a new method of restoring and rehabilitation for sewer lines and drain pipes. This pipe renovation technology is spreading fast throughout the States and for good reason! Here is what you should know about epoxy brush coating. 
• Epoxy is a chemical compound which can be used to coat and infuse various materials. This in turn provides waterproofing, strength and durability. Once the epoxy coating cures and hardens, it can be used as an adhesive or filler. 
• There are different forms of epoxy, geared towards different uses and needs, however the one used for plumbing purposes, creates a coat around your pipes. This coat fills pinholes, cracks and corrosion, making this an alternative method to pipe replacement, extending the life of your current drain pipes.

• Before the epoxy coating is applied, your pipe is cleaned and descaled to ensure the epoxy coat will go on smoothly and stick evenly to your pipe’s walls. 
• Once your pipes are ready, this method utilizes equipment which includes a set of brushes that spin around the inside of your pipe, pushing the epoxy resin out onto the pipe walls. With an attached video camera, a professional plumber can monitor the process, to make sure that an even and complete layer is applied and all the nooks and crannies are sealed.

• It’s adaptable. Epoxy brush coating can be used to coat an entire pipe or just a small section, depending on the problem at hand. This new method of epoxy brush coating is also able to coat any diameter of pipe, meaning it can be used on a pipe which is too small or too big for traditional lining methods. 
• It’s safe to use. Epoxy coating is NSF certified meaning it complies with specific and high standards for safety, quality, sustainability or performance. It is safe to use on any types of pipes, whether it’s a sewer line, a gas pipe, an oil pipe or a drinking water pipe. It is also suitable for pipes made of concrete, PVC, fiberglass, clay, cast-iron and ductile.

• Cast iron piping is no longer used in new homes and most likely not in any houses built after the 1980’s. The biggest problem with cast iron pipes is that it is susceptible to rust and corrosion which over time causes holes and cracks in the pipes system. With a cracked cast iron pipe, the sewage doesn't reach its correct destination and instead stays under your home.
• One of our main specialties is the installation of cast in place resin pipes. Our CIPP technology allows us to repair your pipes without the need to break up the floor or create new trenches. Some of the many benefits of CIPP are the lack of evacuation or the property or the dismantling of the floors. It is more cost effective and can be done in a matter of days.
