The Problem
Sometimes homes with a lot of square footage built on a slab can have a pipe leak in one section now and another later on in a second section. Or a third. That was the experience of Mr. & Mrs.
Bill Fritz. Their rural, two-story, ranch-style home had suffered through three previous pipe leaks. And they had an active leak again when they called San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining. It could be heard hissing under the floor of the downstairs bathroom.
The Solution
“The Fritzes wanted us to guarantee we could stop the leak without having to jackhammer the floor,” states San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining, owner of the company. “Other work on the site had been jackhammered through as much as six inches of cement, which is costly and time-consuming. A long-term solution was wanted; Water Epoxy has provided it. In fact, with Water Epoxy we have a 25-year warranty for internal and external corrosion.”
San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining technicians performed a diagnostic review, completed a valve system upgrade, and cleaned the interior of the pipes of the entire house with a pressurized abrasive airflow. Next, the San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining team applied a tough epoxy lining that hardens in 45 minutes and allows full restoration of water service in as little as 5 hours. All without the inconvenience of the demolition, repair work and lengthy cleanup that the Fritzes had experienced with their three previous leaks.
After deciding to coat the pipes with epoxy, Fritz looked into three different proposals. “San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining was the most knowledgeable and explained the process most clearly,” he said. “The results have been perfect – no problems.”
