Fast interventions with no demolition required
Repair of old plumbing systems with epoxy
Old plumbing systems are one of the main causes of leaks, pressure loss, bad odours and recurring issues in buildings. Over time, materials degrade, joints lose watertightness and cracks begin to appear.
Epoxy repair allows you to restore these pipes without opening walls or replacing the entire system, extending their lifespan in a practical and controlled way.
What happens in ageing pipe systems
In older buildings (1960s–1990s), it is very common to find:
- internal corrosion in metal pipes
- cracks in aged PVC or clay pipes
- degraded joints with leakage
- build-up reducing internal diameter
Many of these issues are not visible externally, but already affect performance and watertightness.
How epoxy repair works
The process involves applying an internal epoxy lining, creating a continuous protective layer inside the pipe.
This lining allows:
- sealing of cracks and micro leaks
- restoration of watertightness
- protection against corrosion
- smoother internal flow
In practice, it renews the pipe from the inside without invasive work.
When this solution is suitable
Epoxy repair is ideal when:
- the pipe is worn but still structurally stable
- leaks are localised
- demolition should be avoided
- there is a need to extend system lifespan
It is widely used in apartments, houses and shared building systems.
What epoxy solves — and what it doesn’t
Epoxy is very effective in restoring watertightness and protecting the pipe, but must be correctly applied.
It works well for:
- cracks and small leaks
- internal wear
- corrosion and surface degradation
However, it is not suitable when there are:
- pipe collapses
- misalignments
- significant structural damage
In those cases, other solutions must be considered. The key is matching the method to the real condition of the pipe.
Advantages of trenchless repair
Epoxy rehabilitation allows:
- no demolition works
- faster interventions
- minimal disruption
- direct treatment of the issue
It is especially useful in occupied buildings where traditional works would be disruptive.
Inspection before intervention
Before any repair, we always carry out a CCTV inspection to understand the real condition of the pipe.
This ensures the solution is correct from the start, avoiding incomplete or temporary fixes.
Restore instead of replace
In many cases, full replacement is not necessary. With proper assessment, existing pipes can be restored and used for many more years.
If you are experiencing issues, we can assess and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our process
At REVIPOX, we’ve gathered the most common questions about our epoxy pipe rehabilitation method.
Here you’ll find clear answers about how it works, how long it takes, and why it’s the most durable no-dig solution available.
Have another question? Request your diagnostic assessment.Yes, in many cases. When the pipe is still structurally stable, it can be rehabilitated from the inside using epoxy, avoiding full replacement and invasive construction work.
Yes, as long as the pipe has not collapsed. Epoxy is effective on materials such as metal, PVC, or clay, allowing leaks to be sealed, corrosion to be controlled, and watertightness to be restored.
Yes. In addition to stopping leaks, the internal lining helps smooth the pipe surface, which can improve flow and reduce issues caused by wear and buildup.
When applied under the right conditions, it is a durable and technical solution. However, its effectiveness always depends on the overall condition of the existing pipe.
If the pipe has deformation, misalignment, or structural collapse, epoxy will not be sufficient. In those cases, a structural solution such as CIPP or pipe replacement may be required.
Yes. CCTV pipe inspection is essential to assess the actual condition of the pipe and confirm whether epoxy is suitable. Without proper diagnosis, there is a risk of applying an incomplete solution.
