Our galvanized pipe system is slowly leaking rust at the front faucet, my husband is concerned that our system could blow anywhere in the walls and we wouldn’t know it until we had a mess. Would Curaflo[’s] method help with the structural integrity of our pipes? We’ve almost agreed to re-piping with copper L 1″ super quality pipes in our 30 yr old here in Orange County, Calif.

-Janice (Orange County, CA)

Janice, rusty water coming out of galvanized pipes is an obvious symptom of “tuberculation” –dissolved minerals in your water reacting with the metal of the pipe, causing corrosion and buildup on the wall of the pipe. Reduced flow (the buildup reduces the inside diameter of the pipe) and low water pressure are also typical symptoms of this condition. The buildup doesn’t necessarily mean your pipes are leaking or will leak, but typically they will. Leaks usually start small, but can spread or evolve into major leaks.Pipe tuberculation results in poor water quality and low water flow

CuraFlo’s process eliminates the need to repipe your entire system. The first part of CuraFlo’s epoxy pipe lining process cleans out the rusty mineral buildup, stopping the rusty water you’re seeing. Any section that is too weak to be lined is replaced. Then CuraFlo’s safe-for-drinking-water epoxy pipe lining is applied; this keeps the metal of the pipe from coming into contact with water –preventing buildup from forming and corrosion from happening again. Pipes are restored to better-than-new condition.

Pipe replacement is an option, but it often takes longer and includes the mess and disruption of cutting open walls and removing pipes. Once done, you’ll need to replace walls (or tiles or floors) and make cosmetic repairs. In addition, water will still be coming in contact with the metal of your pipes – it’s a matter of time before corrosion happens again.
