Get Your Chicago, IL Pipes In Shape With Our Epoxy Coating Services
Far too often homeowners are told that their floors need to be dug up or walls need to be busted into in an effort to replace cracked and deteriorated cast iron pipes that are hiding behind them. Epoxy coating has become a game changer, oftentimes saving walls and floors without a huge mess and post repair expenses.
In most aging houses the pipes under the floor and behind the walls are cast iron. More often than not old cast iron pipes are found to be scaled and rough, preventing paper and waste from traveling through the pipe as it should. Frequent sewer backups become an inconvenient, stressful mess. Besides the mess of a backup, an old cast iron vertical vent stack can develop cracks which allow sewer odor to overcome the home. Epoxy coating offers an alternative method to digging up the pipe or breaking into walls.

An Innovative Resolution For Repairing Your Pipes
Epoxy coating is one of the newer forms of Trenchless Pipe Repair, and a frequently used “tool” in the Trenchless Innovations toolbox. Epoxy Coating has a number of benefits over traditional pipe replacement techniques, including:
- No destruction of the home: There is no need to remove flooring or open up any walls to expose the piping.
- No excavating: There is no need to excavate a long trench through the house, or break open walls to expose vertical stacks.
- No mess: Epoxy Coating can be performed through existing clean outs or pulled toilets
The Bottom Line - Save Time & Money: Epoxy Coating can save time and money since there is no need for costly and messy excavation of the pipe.
Before & After
How Does An Epoxy Coating Project Work?
Epoxy Coating projects start with a thorough cleaning and descaling of the pipe. Once the pipe is cleaned and the scale is removed, the pipe is dried in preparation for the application of the epoxy. The epoxy is applied by either casting, or brushing it inside the pipe. The epoxy is then allowed to dry before another application is applied to form an approximate 3ml thickness. Once epoxy coated, the cast iron pipe interior resembles a smooth glass-like surface that is durable, long lasting and protected against scale and cracking.
What Are The Benefits Of Epoxy Coating?
Epoxy coating has a number of advantages over traditional pipe replacement techniques, including:
- A Beautiful Home: No more digging! Spraying on an epoxy coating can be done with your pipes where they are, so your floors aren't destroyed in the process.
- You Can Save Money: The most expensive part of most pipe repair is the excavation, so by cutting it out, the cost comes down considerably.
- You Can Save Time: The most lengthy part of most pipe repair is... the excavation again. Most epoxy coating jobs can be done in less than 15% of the time of the traditional way.
- Better Pipe Lifespan: A properly-applied epoxy coating makes your pipes even stronger, and can extend their life by 50 years or more.
- Corrosion Resistant: Unlike the metal often used in pipes, the epoxy coating is highly resistant to corrosion and other chemical reactions.
