Pipe restoration technology

Pipe Restoration is currently preventing customer-side domestic water leakage of nearly 14.5 million gallons of water per year throughout California using its patented ePIPE® leak protection and pipe restoration technology. With this, the company restores water pipe systems from the inside and prevents pinhole leaks from occurring. The ePIPE's revolutionary epoxy coating is NSF-Std-61 approved for a return-to-water service in as little as 2 hours. The pipe lining method is preferred over traditional pipe replacement techniques, which can be extremely expensive, disruptive, time-consuming, and harmful to the environment.
