“ePIPE is providing superior solutions in response to real-time issues of providing protection against leaks and reducing the leaching of toxic metals like lead and copper from water pipes,” Pipe RestorationTechnologies CEO Larry Gillanders said. “ePIPE applicators save their customers time and money with ePIPE’s fast installation.”

Pipes protected with ePIPE reduce the loss of water and reduce the leaching of toxic lead and copper into drinking water to well below U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) cut-off levels.
