Brush Coating for
Island Pipes
Clean and restore the inside of your water lines with minimal intrusion!
Looking for a solution to older pipes that will minimize buildup and keep you from needing frequent drain cleaning? Brush coating restores the interior of your pipes and improves flow, helping you avoid costly replacements and recurring service! Alpha Omega Plumbing has been serving the island’s home plumbing needs for over 10 years, and we are excited to add brush coating to our list of plumbing services on O’ahu!
Benefits of Brush Coating
The process begins with pipe cleaning and descaling to create a clean surface for the coating to adhere to. Like with a drain cleaning service, special tools are used to remove corrosion, mineral build-up, and debris from the inside of your pipes. After the pipe cleaning, when they are dry, a rotating brush applies an even layer of epoxy coating to the interior walls of your water lines. This application fills the tiny cracks and pinholes that trap material and cause buildup over time.
Other Benefits of Brush Coating
When the epoxy dries and hardens, it becomes a smooth, clean, protective barrier that reinforces the pipe as it ages. After the brush coating procedure is complete, the inside of your plumbing will be like new and allow water to flow smoothly. Key benefits of using this method over replacing your pipes include:
- Less Invasive: Unlike pipe replacements, epoxy coating doesn’t involve any work that will tear up your floors, walls, or property.
- Prevents Future Corrosion: The epoxy barrier seals small imperfections and prevents them from worsening, and stops minor leaks. The coating also shields pipe walls from any minerals in the water that could corrode or accumulate.
- Extends Lifespan: Applying the epoxy coat is like creating a brand new surface on the interior of your pipes! A good alternative to re-piping, brush coating could add years of usable life to otherwise worn plumbing systems.
What Brush Coating Can’t Fix:
If lines are cracked or broken, they are not a candidate for brush coating. We’ll inspect the line before moving forward with any services, and if repairs are needed, we’ll be happy to apply brush coating to the new pipes once repairs are finished! Adding the epoxy to your pipe walls may help reduce emergency situations and provide long-term reinforcement for your lines. With reinforced pipes, you can have peace of mind that even older plumbing will last!
Is Brush Coating Right For Your Home?
Alpha Omega Plumbing has provided plumbing services to homes across O’ahu for more than 10 years, and we have seen how brush coating can be a real game-changer for older island properties. Homes built between 1950 and 1990 may have galvanized or aging copper lines that require restoration and support after so many years. The epoxy coating process gives new structural integrity to those old plumbing lines, and lets you get more years of use from them without risking damage or deterioration.
Coastal climates have to deal with salt air corrosion, which can weaken and wear down pipes faster than traditional pipes on the mainland. From Kailua to ‘Ewa Beach, we are proud to offer this service as a more cost-effective way to protect your pipes from decay and damage.
