Over the past few months, many installations have been under severe strain. Due to long periods of downtime, temperature fluctuations, and outdated pipes, more and more people are experiencing problems with their heating and water pipes. This includes brown water from the tap, loss of pressure, small leaks, or radiators that are no longer heating properly.
What many people don't know: those problems often arise from within.
With older metal pipes, corrosion slowly damages the inner wall. Especially with heating or sanitary pipes that have been in use for many years, rust, limescale, and wear build up. And then, suddenly, the first signs appear.
Do you recognise any of these problems?
- Brown or dirty water when opening the tap
- Radiators that heat poorly or unevenly
- Regular pressure loss on the installation
- Small leaks or damp patches
In many cases, people immediately think of demolition work. Breaking open walls, demolishing floors, replacing pipes… an expensive and disruptive job.
But that is not always necessary today.
Epoxy coatingPipe renovation without demolition
At Nu Flow we repair existing pipes from the inside with a durable epoxy coating. Via a specialist engineering We first thoroughly clean the pipes, after which we apply a protective epoxy layer to the inside of the pipe network.
This creates a new pipe within the existing pipe, as it were.
Eleven Technique is applied to, among other things:
- Sanitary water pipes
- Heating pipes
- Main pipes in apartment buildings
- Old metal pipe systems
How does it work exactly?
Our approach takes place in several steps.
1. Pipe network inspection
We are analysing the condition of the pipes and looking for areas of corrosion or wear.
2. Cleaning of the pipes
Using special techniques, we remove rust, deposits and contamination from the pipes.
3. Epoxy coating apply
We then apply a durable coating that protects the pipe from further corrosion and leaks.
4. Test and restart
After curing, we inspect the system, and the installation can last for many years again.
Why choose Epoxy coating?
No demolition work in walls or floors
✓ Quick execution with minimal disruption
✓ Extends the lifespan of existing pipes
✓ Protection against corrosion and leaks
Ideal for renovations and apartment buildings
✓ Cost-saving compared to full replacement
Older buildings in particular are at risk
In older homes and apartment buildings, metal pipes are often decades old. Much damage remains hidden for years... until the first leak or failure occurs.
This is precisely why more and more owners and syndics are opting for preventative pipe renovation, without major renovation works.
