Suffering pipe blockage or leakage from years of corrosion and rust and other build-up? Dreading the construction demolition mess, safety issues, downtime and exorbitant costs of pipe replacement?

Fortunately, the plumbing nightmare for homeowners and facilities managers is over if you rely on the cast iron pipe experts and their robotic technology at USA Pipelining.

Dorron Blumberg explains how USA Pipelining, a family-owned business led by his father Leonard Blumberg, has revolutionized pipe restoration.

“During more than three decades of experience Master Plumber Leonard Blumberg has honed skills and ingenuity to create an ingenious, proprietary robotic technology which first cleans, then pinpoints trouble areas and, finally coats the interior of cast iron pipes, making them stronger than they were when first installed and impervious to future corrosion and cracks. And, all this without removing even one pipe from your building,” he said.

How It Works

After a diagnostic review of the issue, USA Pipelining utilizes pipe cleaning robots to deliver a cost saving, mess reducing, environmentally friendly, safe and long-term alternative to replacing pipes. This technique restores them to a stronger than original functioning with little to no downtime for an organization. A three-step process first sends robots with expanding steel brushes to scour away years of harmful corrosion from inside pipes as narrow as 1.5 inches and up to 100 inches in diameter, navigating curves and straightaways while removing even the heaviest of deposits. When all the scales are cleared, an industrial blowback airhead vacuums out and contains debris.

Secondly, a robotic camera examines the interior and pinpoints troublesome spots which can cause leakage and rusting if not fixed before a third and final step of spraying or pouring a non-toxic fast cure epoxy (polyaspartic aliphatic urethane base) along the interior of pipes. This epoxy has superior chemical resistance, a harness shore D+80, and a compressive strength of 12,000 psa designed to resist abrasion, deter metal scale formation and corrosion and, provide a smooth finish to allow free flow of waste and toilet paper to alleviate drainage blockage. The end result is a clean pipe airway and a stronger pipeline overall. After a final inspection of the entire project a 15-year warranty is provided on pipelining. All machinery, tools and equipment are made in the USA.

Experience and Expertise

While the company has worked on projects nationwide and is licensed in several states, they are particularly knowledgeable regarding the challenges that hot, humid climates and sandy soil present on chill, sewer, gas and drain lines and cooling tower systems. In Florida’s hot temperatures, the fast-drying epoxy must be an exact precision application in order to achieve a smooth inner pipe lining.

“Experience counts in our company. Just like heart surgeons unclogging arteries, we have no time to stop and look up directions when we are in the final lining stages of our work,“ Blumberg emphasized.

The company counts residential and commercial clients including hospitals, schools, nursing homes, airports, and stadiums, among their satisfied customers.

Customer Satisfaction

Testimonials consistently point out the skills, professionalism and innovation of the company, but customers also appreciate the old-fashioned integrity and prompt personal service that this family-owned company exudes.

In addition to Leonard’s long term professional team, his youngest son Jordan is now a journeyman plumber learning the business while Darron, the older son, supports the business with his marketing and administration skills.
