Habitat for Humanity of Orange
County Chooses ACE DuraFlo's ePIPE for New
Huntington Beach Home
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., April 5, 2006
(PRIMEZONE) -- ACE DuraFlo Pipe Restoration
Inc. has installed ePIPE(tm) in a Habitat
for Humanity of Orange County home under
construction in Huntington Beach. ACE DuraFlo
restores residential and commercial copper
water piping experiencing pinhole leaks by
providing a preventative liner, ePIPE, within
existing pipes.
"Habitat for Humanity chose ACE DuraFlo
to install the water lines and line the copper
pipes with their epoxy coating in order to
reduce the potential for pinhole leaks in
the future, thus providing maximum protection
to the home buyer," Loretta Drummond
Assistant Site Superintendent for Habitat
for Humanity of Orange County says.
"This is the first home in the country
to have copper piping installed that is pre-coated
with an epoxy lining using the ACE DuraFlo
ePIPE process," Steven Wann ACE DuraFlo
Pipe Restoration Inc. President says. "We
coated the piping at our facility and used
a special fitting that enabled us to install
ePIPE in a single day. Now the home has an
epoxy lined copper piping system that should
last a hundred years or more."
According to ACE DuraFlo records the average
age of homes in Orange County experiencing
pinhole leaks is 12 years. Company representatives
say the changes in water chemistry mandated
by the EPA's Safe Water Act, along with other
factors, are adversely causing premature
failure in copper pipes.
"We were really impressed at the speed
and workmanship of the ACE DuraFlo technicians.
The entire home took only a day," Drummond
said.
