ACE
DuraFlo Systems, LLC Reaches 3,000th Home
Milestone
Company restores 3,000 residential homes in
the U.S. since 2001
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE)
-- ACE DuraFlo Systems, LLC reaches a company
milestone today by restoring the plumbing
in 3,000 residential homes in the United
States. The company has franchise operations
throughout the United States. In 1999 ACE
DuraFlo began restoring the potable water
pipes in high profile hotels by applying
its unique epoxy barrier coating within
the existing plumbing system. The restoration
process allowed the hotels to avoid expensive
demolition costs associated with a traditional
plumbing repipe and allowed the hotels
to put their rooms back into service much
more quickly. The process prevents pinhole
leaks, increases water flow and prevents
the leaching of heavy metals, such as lead,
into the water supply. In 2001 the company
expanded its operations to the residential
market by offering the service to homeowners.
The process results in an epoxy protected
piping system called ePIPE(tm).
"Pipes don't last forever," ACE
DuraFlo President Stuart Tucker says, "and
in some parts of the country homes are
experiencing pipe failures in as little
time as two years, depending on the nature
of the water chemistry." Studies have
shown that recent changes in water chemistry
made to comply with new federal water standards
may be accelerating the rate at which pipes
are failing. This year, the state of Maryland
recommended that homeowners protect their
drinking water pipes by coating them with
epoxy.
The ACE DuraFlo system is a viable and
affordable alternative to repiping a property,
generally without ripping up carpet or
penetrating floors and walls. According
to Tucker, ePIPE(tm) lasts far longer than
new pipes and has been approved by the
NSF for use in potable water systems.
"Water damage caused by failing pipes
can effect insurance rates and even lead
to the non-renewal of insurance policies," Tucker
says. "Additionally, pinhole leaks
in pipes frequently create an environment
conducive to the growth of mold."
With a large increase of homeowners wanting
to protect their homes and drinking water
while preventing the likelihood of future
pipe failure, the company expects to reach
a total of 5,000 restored homes by the
end of 2006.
