AWATEC uses a specialized internal pipe-coating method for selected pool plumbing leaks. The repair is completed from inside the existing pipe, which can reduce the need to break pool decks, tiles, concrete, waterfalls, or landscaping.
Every project begins with confirming the affected line and determining whether an internal epoxy repair is suitable. Not every pipe or leak can be repaired this way, so AWATEC performs a technical assessment before recommending the system.
We first identify the affected pool line and verify that it is leaking. Depending on the situation, this may include pressure testing, acoustic listening, hydrophone testing, pipe camera inspection, or a combination of methods.
Even when another contractor has already identified the suspected area, AWATEC may repeat key tests before beginning the repair.
Water must be removed from the repair section. Airflow and vacuum equipment are used to clear and dry the line so the internal surface can be properly prepared.
The interior wall of the pipe is mechanically conditioned. This creates a prepared surface that helps the repair material bond to the existing pipe.
After the inside surface has been prepared, the pipe is cleaned again. Loose particles and sanding debris must be removed before the coating is introduced.
The required amount of coating material is calculated for the pipe section. It is then introduced into the line in a controlled manner so the targeted interior can be coated.
A correctly sized internal brush distributes the repair material through the line and across the damaged area. The system is designed to work through bends in suitable pipe layouts.
Controlled airflow is then used during the curing stage. The exact curing time depends on the repair conditions and the approved application procedure.
Once the repair has cured, AWATEC tests the line again. A stable pressure reading helps confirm that the repaired pipe is no longer losing pressure.
After successful verification, the plumbing line can be returned to normal pool operation according to the technician’s instructions.
May avoid breaking finished pool decks, tile, concrete structures, waterfalls, or landscaping.
The work is focused on the affected pipe interior rather than opening a large excavation area.
When suitable, the process can reduce the time, cost, and inconvenience associated with rebuilding finished surfaces.
AWATEC will evaluate the complete situation before recommending trenchless repair. A camera-visible crack or leaking joint may be a good candidate, but the final decision depends on the condition and layout of the full repair path.
When trenchless repair is not technically appropriate, we will explain the reason and recommend a conventional access-and-repair option.
