Failing Pipes and Pinhole Leaks

Alan(CaliforniaRadiant)Forbes

for your ailing pipes. Instead of replacing clogged galvanized or copper tubing with pinholes leaks, new technology allows for sandblasting the interior corrosion and blowing in a coating of fast-drying epoxy. Check out the link:

i wonder if.............

This would work on hydronic pipes? Think there are any limitations on working temps?

Here's the challenge I gave them

come to my area & I'll pick two older homes in which there are old Galvanized piping. Do your thing. Afterwards, I'll strip out the piping and disect it to accurately determine if their claim of being able to snake through 1/2" piping that is virtually clogged shut with moon craters the consistency of concrete , blast it clean AND coat it with an uninterupted layer of epoxy. Either way I publish the results in Contractor Magazine. Never got a reply. That was more than one year ago & after they approached CM.

For copper and larger galvanized piping? No doubt it works in my mind. But if you want to claim it'll snake around the 1/2" piping this plumber has seen all too often, without the need to invade the inner spaces of the home, plus blast it clean for coating - you gotta show me.

I also wonder

If it would work in leaking copper radiant - and if it insulates the inside too much to be practical .

I would sell my soul to get my slab heat working again.
