A task force was put in place to study pinhole leaks in copper piping under Senate Bill 54, 2003. This was done to assist Maryland in understanding pinhole leaks and dealing with the consequences. Pinhole leaks in copper piping cause numerous problems including damage to walls, electrical systems, ceilings, flooring and furniture.

Undetected water leaks can result in mould growth. Many homeowners and companies put off repair, expecting it to be too expensive. Water damage claims often result in insurance premiums being increased, in severe circumstances, they can result in the non-renewal of insurance policies. Pinhole leak problems are caused by numerous reasons with several circumstances adding to the problem.

The Senate Bill 54 task force put three subcommittees in place; water treatment and quality, materials and installation and insurance. The good news is that copper pipe repair does not have to be costly, thanks to the advancements in repairs, offered by Nu Flow across the United States and the world.

Nu Flow specializes in trenchless pipe repair, eliminating the need for excavation, and creating a safe and durable pipe within a pipe. This is known as the Cured Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. CIPP lining works with various pipe materials for sewers and drains, along with water pipes. It can often be completed by accessing the pipe through manholes, which reduces further damage to the property. Once a pipe has a pinhole leak, the risk of it increasing in size is guaranteed as water pushes through the pipe.

“Our copper pipe repair service is affordable, reliable and long-lasting,” said Tom Bowman, the President at Nu Flow. “Pinhole leaks are a serious concern that can cause serious damage to properties. Our lining provides a strong and long-term lining within the existing pipe. It can be completed quickly and provides years of use while improving water flow, eliminating leaks and reducing the risk of root invasion.”

Nu Flow provides a global service with the assistance of its certified plumbing partners, offering a full range of high-quality epoxy products to manage all types of piping materials and angles. Full details can be found on the Nu Flow website.
