The Problem
John Buhr, a resident of Carlsbad in North Coastal San Diego County, was aware his neighbors’ homes had suffered damage from pipe leaks in walls and slabs, how floorings and carpets and tiles had to be ripped up and replaced. He knew how disruptive the usual way to remove and replace pipes was cutting into walls, jack-hammering slabs. Having to move out of the house for days while the work was done.
Buhr’s house, a two-story structure of the same age and condition as others in the neighborhood, was a likely candidate for the same problems. But he decided to act before any leaks occurred, before any damage was done to his valuable furnishings, antiques and collectibles. Buhr felt it was a matter of when, not a matter of if.
My neighbors had pipe leaks and flood damage…I didn’t want to wait. San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining’s Water Epoxy relined my pipes before any leaks could cause damage to my house and property.

The Solution
San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining’s Water Epoxy applied its exclusive “stop leak” formula to solve John Buhr’s problem. San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining’s technicians performed a diagnostic review of the home’s water delivery system, completed a valve system upgrade, and then cleaned the interior of the pipes with a pressurized abrasive airflow, removing hard water deposits, scale and corrosion.
Next, the San Diego Plumbing and Pipelining’s team applied a tough epoxy lining (Water Epoxy)– literally a corrosion-resistant “pipe within a pipe.” The exclusive Water Epoxy lining hardens in 45 minutes and allows full restoration of water service in as little as 5 hours. All without the inconvenience of the major demolition of walls and floors, repair work and lengthy cleanup work that Buhr’s neighbors had experienced.
