Does pipe restoration save money for building owners and tenants?
YES! Since pipe restoration restores a building’s piping system within the walls, owners save thousands of dollars by not paying to replace their existing piping system. The costs saved by not destroying walls, removing and replacing pipes, and redecorating make pipe restoration a less expensive alternative.

Does the pipe restoration outlast a new pipe?
YES! Pinhole leaks in copper pipe are not uncommon, even new pipes start to deteriorate the moment the water is turned on. Pipes with epoxy water pipe coatings are protected against corrosion.

Can an ACE DuraFlo System restoration be planned around tenant schedules?
YES! The ACE DuraFlo System restoration is planned as far ahead as possible. An updated schedule of the suites to be restored is published in the lobby on a daily basis. The process should not compromise a tenant’s standard of living.

What type of pipe can the ACE DuraFlo System restore?
The ACE DuraFlo System is designed to restore copper and galvanized steel systems. The rust and corrosion build-up within the pipe is removed to restore full water pressure. Pipes are then epoxy coated to protect against future corrosion.

Is the ACE DuraFlo System method safe?

If pipes are old and fragile, can the ACE DuraFlo System fix my pipes?
In most cases YES! However, in all cases a site visit must be arranged with an ADF specialist who will assess the problem and make the final determination about what to do about corrosion and water leaks.

If a hole is found, can you fix it?
YES! Sometimes a hole is found in the piping system. If a hole is found we simply replace the affected area of pipe and continue with the process.

Will carpet and flooring be protected when crews are in a suite?
YES! The crews conduct all of their work inside the building so no mud or dirt is tracked in. The only working material likely to touch flooring is the food grade hose that supplies the air to the piping system. In the event that a suite requires special attention, ground covers are put down before work on leaky and corroded pipes commences.
