As a property manager, you need to be able to quickly detect and stop hidden water pipe leakage in order to avoid costly water damage and high water bills.

Are you concerned about how to repair copper pipes inside a concrete slab? If you have leaking copper pipes in concrete slab or behind bricks and cinder blocks, you have a right to be concerned. Repaired pipes that are embedded in concrete and located behind masonry can be expensive because the plumber has to dig or drill through the surface in order to reach your pipes. Once the pipes are repaired, you’ll have to hire another company to fix the damage to the concrete and/or masonry, which can be extremely costly. Thankfully, there is a no dig option when it comes to repairing copper pipes in hard to reach locations.

Trenchless pipe restoration is often called the “no dig” solution when it comes to repairing and restoring plumbing pipes in large, multi-story residential buildings, stadiums, parking garages, colleges and various other public venues. It’s also cost effective and can be accomplished faster than traditional pipe replacement.
Pipe lining is a trenchless technology that can extend the useful life of your pipes and stop pinhole leaks and leaks at the joints and seams. It’s even been known to restore severely corroded pipes. However, if the liner and pipe are not prepared correctly, the liner may experience a loss of adhesion, which would significantly reduce its expected lifespan and function.
