Work Performed
Nuflow cleaned and Redlined all the internal 15mm copper hot water pipes as there was a leaking service contained under the slab in the kitchen.

Why were Nuflow Called?
With a leaking service under the slab in the kitchen, the owners did not want to touch the tiled area and excavate the kitchen floor as the floor tiling was a major feature of the house.  It would have been extremely difficult to re-run the water pipes as the house had exposed ceiling beams with no ceiling space furthermore the kitchen sink was in an island bench.  To add to their problems all the pipe work was contained under the floor slab and within the walls. With a complete Redline of the pipework, there will be no more leaks or internal corrosion. Water will never come in contact with the host pipe again.

Without Redline the only option the owners had was to excavate the kitchen floor destroying the tiled floors to access the leaking pipe.

Alternatives
The only alternatives were to excavate the kitchen floor, this would have destroyed the tiled surface, or reroute the water services the owners would have to accept externally reticulated pipework and relocation of the kitchen sink.

Degree of Difficulty
What made this a complicated job, was the entire pipe system was located in the floor slab and walls and the pipework was all in 15mm copper pipe. The owners also remained in the residence while the work was undertaken.

The End Result
The life of the pipes has been extended exponentially and the flow rates at each fixture was also increased.
