Water Damage Services, the Nuflow licensee for the Western Cape, has started rehabilitation work – incorporating new technology – on the City of Cape Town’s corroded pipes.

The project, which started on Monday, aimed to cut the city’s water loss as a result of corroded pipes by thousands of metric litres.

The noninvasive technology used compressed air to pull or push reinforced epoxy into position to rehabilitate the inner infrastructure of corroded pipes instead of excavating the building to gain access to the plumbing, explained Water Damage Services’s Jerome Gray.

“This means that we now have the capability to replace plumbing from a truck parked outside of your dwelling and without chopping, digging or breaking your valuable assets. This process can be used to restore pipes consisting of metal, iron, steel, plastic, concrete and fiberglass,” he explained.
