The NuFlow Difference

NuFlow Pipe lining services provide an efficient, effective alternative with many benefits, which include:

• Significant savings over re-pipe or pipe replacement
• Increases life of piping
• Very little disruption, if any
• Preservation of building structure and surrounding landscape or hardscape
• Little to no destruction to the property

More NuFlow Trenchless Pipe Repair Benefits

• Nuflow specializes in sectional lining. Our product can stop and start at any point within the pipe, unlike PVC, where the complete line must be relined using trenchless pipe relining.
• Nuflow’s seamless liner restores structural integrity, prevents joint weakening and has a smooth transition to the host pipe.
• Nuflow can purpose make liners to almost any configuration, allowing for a holistic approach to your property’s drainage piping system.
• Nuflow’s product can be installed on junctions (wye’s or tee configurations), bends, horizontal or vertical pipes all in one complete application.

In summary, using our product, we can rehabilitate junctions in one complete application, strengthening the entire junction. Top hats, as the name suggests, are unable to do this as they only cover a small section of the main line pipe and have the potential to fall out over time.

Case Study in Hawaii: A Major Hotel & Resort

With a breathtaking view of the Diamond Head and Koko Head craters, a major hotel appeared to be picture perfect, but beneath the surface of the renowned hotel was a failing pipe system causing regular disruption to the resort’s operations. The hotel is known as one of Hawaii’s most luxurious and secluded beachfront resorts, with over 300 rooms and suites, five stylish restaurants and a world-class spa.

A NuFlow team went in and assessed the issues. Roots had intruded the storm line causing backups and leaks into the restaurant when it rained. Compounding the problem was portions of the drain pipe were below the high-tide water level, which lead to sea water exfiltration from the pipe into the surrounding grounds of an area that hosted up to six weddings a day.

The solution was to clean and line the underground storm line using NuFlow’s trenchless, cured-in-place structural drain liner. While the tide was out, NuFlow first cleaned the storm line to remove buildup and roots that had intruded through the pipe. Once complete, NuFlow inserted a pull-in-place structural liner in the existing pipe using the patented NuFlow process. The team lined the affected pipes from the building, underneath the wedding ceremony area to the manhole, sealing all leaks and preventing roots from re-entering the sewer. NuFlow completed the retrofit without the need to dig a trench to access the pipe, preserving the picture-perfect landscape and hardscape.

Root intrusion is common in storm and sewer lines. Whether experiencing problems now or if interested in preventing the inevitable failure of a plumbing system, the NuFlow solution is available to lower repair costs and restore peace of mind utilizing trenchless sewer line replacement.

Case Study: “Sleeving” Las Vegas

At an iconic hotel and casino in Las Vegas, an underground, horizontal grease line for the buffet kitchen and employee dining room had cracks and heavy scale. The failing pipeline would have to be dug up for traditional re-pipe, which would cause closure to the buffet and employee dining room. Hotel management did not want those disruptions.

NuFlow was able to provide this prestigious customer with a feasible and tailored solution. During the hours that the buffet was closed, NuFlow technicians cleaned and lined the grease pipes using the patented, Pull-in-Place Nu Drain system. Destruction and disruption was prevented.

About NuFlow

The Nu Flow Companies manufacture and install innovative, noninvasive, eco-friendly technologies for the restoration of failing pipe systems. Nu Flow is the only small diameter pipe lining company to provide dual lining technologies from a single source and is the master licensee for the longest time-tested small diameter epoxy lining in North America. Our “Cured In Pipe Place” (CIPP) structural liner restores aging sanitary drain, waste, vent, storm drain, roof drain, industrial piping and chemical piping systems in place. This patented Pull-in-Place technology extends the useful life of the pipe system at a fraction of the cost of traditional replacement.

Epoxy pipe lining was brought to North America in 1987 by American Pipe Lining. The company began employing its epoxy lining technology as a sole source contractor to the United States Navy aboard its carrier vessels. American Pipe Lining’s success with the U.S. Navy brought immediate attention to land-based clients that required similar services in their buildings and underground piping installations. Following EPA approval of its coating in 1988, American Pipe Lining began providing in-place pipe restoration services to clients that faced aging potable water systems and poor water quality, including a variety of low and high-rise housing developments, schools, industries and water utilities.

In 2006, APL granted an exclusive license to NuFlow to utilize all technologies and patent rights, making NuFlow the only pipe and drain rehabilitation company that both manufactures and licenses its installs combined technologies for pressurized water systems, as well as trenchless repair on non-pressurized systems. NuFlow acquired APL in 2007, solidifying NuFlow’s position as the industry leader in small diameter pipe lining.
