Work Performed
Nuflow Redlined all the internal 15mm copper pipes in this detached granny flat. Both the hot and cold water systems were completed over 2 days with no excavation or digging into walls.
Benefits
There was no disruption to the tenants of the flat, which was a relief to the owners who were concerned they may miss out on rent. The flow rate was improved by nearly 200% in most outlets, and no longer will the shower rose (head) block with calcium build-up. The life of the pipes has been extended exponentially and there will be no more sudden flooding caused by pin hole leaks in deteriorated pipes.
15mm copper potable water pipes were Redlined, extending the life of the pipes by 50 years and there will no more sudden flooding caused by pin hole leaks.
Alternatives
There were two alternatives. The first, to continue to repair the issues as they came up. This would be cheaper in the short term as long as no property was damaged each time the flat flooded. Long term, the dollars would add up very quickly. The second alternative, was to re-pipe the entire house which would have meant replacing plasterboard, re-painting, possibly re-tiling. It definitely would have required the tenants to vacate the property for the duration of works.
Results
No displacement to the occupants. All work was performed from existing access points causing no disturbance, mess or the need for reinstatement of floors or walls. The works were completed well within the allocated budget and time schedules.
