Mr. Rooter and ACE DuraFlo
Announce New Pipe Restoration Service
WACO, Texas, May 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --
Mr. Rooter and ACE DuraFlo Systems announce
they have entered into an agreement allowing
Mr. Rooter franchisees to add the ACE DuraFlo
ePIPE(tm) epoxy pipe restoration technology
to their menu of services.
The process, known as ePIPE(tm), applies
a proprietary epoxy barrier coating within
an existing plumbing system and is designed
to prevent pinhole leaks, increase water
flow and prevent the leaching of heavy metals,
such as lead, into the water supply. The
ePIPE(tm) system can be applied to both copper
and galvanized pipes.
"Historically, property owners have
made repeated individual repairs to their
plumbing systems until they were forced to
repipe," Stuart Tucker, president of
ACE DuraFlo, said. "Our ePIPE(tm) system
now provides an alternative by allowing an
existing plumbing system to be restored in-place."
The industry leader in small diameter in-place
pipe restoration, ACE DuraFlo recently reached
a milestone of restoring the plumbing in
more than 3,000 homes in the United States
during the past five years. The agreement
with Mr. Rooter will broaden the availability
of this unique relining system.
"Our primary focus is to exceed our
customers' expectations," Mike Bidwell,
president of Mr. Rooter, said. "Adding
the ePIPE(tm) system to our menu of services
keeps us ahead of other plumbing repair companies
and deepens the level of service we provide
our customers."
The ePIPE(tm) system will be rolled out
to select Mr. Rooter franchise owners at
the company's annual conference in Phoenix,
Ariz., in June of this year.
