An apartment building recently identified its underground sanitary main line, located under the hallway and first-floor apartments, was experiencing failures. Traditional pipe repair would result in weeks of construction and inconvenience, resulting in tenant displacement. Nu Flow was able to assist with pipe lining solutions to rehabilitate the lines without disruption to the residents.

The nine-story apartment buildings' sanitary system started experiencing backups caused by debris build-up. This system was a cast iron sanitary line, located under a concrete slab, just below the main hallways and lower-floor residential apartments. The system was over forty years old. On investigation, it was identified that the main line had a large hole that needed urgent repair. The pipe was deteriorating at a rapid rate and the options were replacement or repair.

The main line was located in a crawl space that had very limited access, making traditional pipe repair very difficult. It would have caused damage to the structural integrity of the apartment building. Located under the main hallway and lower floor apartments, replacement would have been disruptive, and inconvenient and resulted in the displacement of some of the apartment residents.

The experienced and qualified Nu Flow team cleaned out the access points and were able to line the failing main line without destruction to the building. They used the company's product, Nu Drain, which involved installing a structural liner that was pulled in place, creating a durable and long-lasting pipe within a pipe. This new liner protects the pipe, preventing build-up and flow issues in the future.

The main line rehabilitation at the apartment building was an example of the pipe lining supply services provided by Nu Flow, a global company with headquarters in the United States. They were able to reduce serious damage to the building while eliminating the need to displace tenants. This pipe lining solution is completed quickly and at a cost-effective price when compared to traditional pipe repair.
