Does pipe restoration save
a building owner and tenants money?
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 the less expensive alternative.
Does the pipe restoration outlast a new pipe?
YES! New pipes start to deteriorate the moment the water is turned on. Epoxy
lined pipes are protected against corrosion.
Can an ACE DuraFlo SYSTEM restoration be planned around
the tenants schedule?
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, steel, galvanized and metallic
sprinkler systems. The rust and corrosion buildup 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?
YES! The ACE DuraFlo SYSTEM does not use chemicals in its cleaning process, meeting
North America’s strictest water safety standards. In addition, the epoxy
used in the process is certified safe for use in potable water systems.
Who has used ACE DuraFlo Pipe Restoration?
Some of the largest companies in the nation have taken advantage of this proven
technology for many years. Some customers include hotels, government agencies,
property mangers, building owners, hospitals, The U.S. Air Force, primary care
facilities and universities.
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.
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 their work inside the building so no mud or dirt 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 is commenced.
Is ACE DuraFlo SYSTEM the most environmentally friendly
alternative?
YES! The ACE DuraFlo SYSTEM significantly reduces waste and strain on landfills
compared to the conventional re-pipe method.
