SLAB LEAK REPAIR!! New Innovative way to STOP LEAKS IMMEDIATELY!! 

We've done many tests without having to shake the pipe isiaac

@@qinov8uk555then why not show that? Why show the ones that had to shake and tap till it worked?

I bet one could add a vibration tool to help push the polymer into the hole better.

I think it's not a good technology, shaking pipes under slabs is impossible and if the hole is bigger it works best but how the hell would we know how big the hole is? lol it's a joke

Where did you get it?

I do another of hot water repairs. If a home owners got a bad leak I just tell them to turn off the water supply in between showers. It works.

YEAH! My brother was not thinking, he meant the main shut off valve. Told him you messed up buddy! Great catch Shadi.

Was thinking the same thing

I love all the "I love your honesty" comments.... Not even close.

Dude you have to have the hose bib closed and close the main. Of course the pressure is going to drop if you have the bib wide open.

What’s up Nick! Thanks for watching us.

I am impressed with what was shown in the video. I have a leak problem on my PE pipeline about 100meters in length. I do not know where exactly the leak location is along that span. Both ends are accessible. I know the nature of the leak because I found 1 leak after this 100meter span, on coupler joint without the rubber o-ring. After fixing that leak, I still got a leak showing on the water meter. I want to try AQUAPEA, where can I buy it?

its cool and all but wouldn't trust it. Rather spend the money and do a bypass. This seems quite hacky

Exactly! Each situation is different, having this in our tool bag gives us another great option to offer.

@@TwinHomeExperts What helps is cutting the water on and off in quick bursts. If you think about the physics of what's happening in that pipe, you're trying to make a solid little ball flow up a vertical with only the pressure and flow of a small pinhole leak through a pipe much bigger than the leak itself. You could look at it in terms of vacuum. It's not enough suction through that small hole to pull anything that high into the pipe. So you gotta shotgun burst the water on and off, so you keep hitting the little ball with bursts of force over and over again, until it eventually hits the leak. I've used this and could not get it to work until I used this method.

@@AlphaMachina yes and I would have tapped the pipe in the hole

and what lesson did you learn? extreme home bend over?

You could possibly turn off your water supply and use a neighbours garden hose to back inject water into your pipes via your own garden tap, inserting the pea into the hose before quickly connecting.

No camera won't make the bends

Instead of camera deploy small AI nano bots that move through entire volume of the pipe and 3d map out spots that were filled in vs spots that were not. The resultant is clear understanding of where water is. To understand how to do this you need advanced degree in engineering and nano bot hydrolics. Similar principle used in UFOs to levetate and disperse and bend space.

​​@@allach1772eventually, and then the nanobots will do the repairs.

We ran tests showing the Aquapea stays in place for over 30 years Andrew.

That occurred to me too, but with inaccessible pipes subject to leaks, the added stress may actually rupture new locations that are not pinhole shaped. This product is a great concept and has an incredibly clever delivery method, just not consistent enough to use in practice.

🤪😝😂

Not if instructions are followed correctly

Great idea! Love it. The challenge is trying to find materials that will handle pressure and installing valves etc.

We have videos of the Aquapea in clear pipe

From what I've seen, and as a master plumber, you would have to make an entry point somewhere near the leak. The ball will then go with the flow to the leak. Depending on the severity of the leak, it would either arrive there very quickly or be painfully slow. And if the customers paying you by the hour to stuff around with this process his anxiety would be through the roof.

Given what slab leak repairs cost, I'll take my chances with the turbulence.

The Aquapea relies on volume of leaking water. If the leak is at least 1 gallon per minute then the Aquapea will travel to the flow of escaping water

500 foot roll of Pex A for flexibility, maybe 3/4" with a plug in the end of Pex and vacuum at house. 1st pull a cord through using a sponge ball on the cord and the Vacuum, then drill a hole in a plug and attach cord, then do a proper fasten of plug into pex the night before. Use electrical wire lubricant on outside of pex, it is slipperier than soap, buy a gallon, as used to pull wires into conduit, one person continuously adding lubricant, another feeding Pex into poly pipe and a 3rd continuously pulling from house with continuous open communication on speaker phone. Unroll pex back to house the night before before starting so it is basically straight with only 1 large curve going into poly , when pulling in the Pex. If 3/4 proves to be too large try 1/2" and sell your 3/4". Only if needed add a large pressure storage tank at house to make up for the fact that you do not have a 1.25" line. Pex B should also work but you get restrictions at fittings and you are trying to keep full flow to minimize reduced size, also if the Poly has a flattened spot due to damage the extra flex of the Pex A might make a difference in pulling through. Note: I have never needed to do this so is at your own risk, precheck that 3/4" with fitting will fit the 1.25", if really careful get the cord through and just pull a foot of 3/4" through with a cord on both ends, if it can't because of a rock flattening the hose you can use the length in to calculate where to dig. Alternatively you could then try with a 1 foot piece of 1/2" pex a plug and 2 cords, one to pull and 1 to trail and pull back.

We did above ground copper pipe. Handyman dug out old galvanized pipe from the city water meter and installed copper pipe straight to the house above ground . It was $500 labor. We bought copper pipe for them to do the job

@@conchim99 Wow. Is the pipe on top of the concrete or is it running overhead? Is it up to code?

@TomBVoxman idk, it hugged along the wall. It has been fine for three last 7 years

Many leaks have been repaired using the Aquapea in the USA

No turbulence has ever been reported so the answer is no. Flows and pressures remain the same. Thanks

You may get "water hammer" and cause more leaks to happen on a fragile line that's already leaking, especially with psi 90 and above, but your right that is correct on physics.

Depending on the size of the leak this can work. You need to find out if there is an option to perform a re route VS tearing up cabinets and floors . There is another option to do epoxy coating so you don’t have to do major demolition. Email us at support@twinhomeexperts.com if you need our help.

Don’t you have to open up the floor to do the epoxy coating? Or can it be done from the inside? Where can one get the aquapea to try it? It should be easy enough to drop in at hot water heater to get to leak 10 feet away in bathroom floor.

Hmmmmmmm

Lack of followup says it all. The manufacturers website has zero practical info. Looks like the product is a dud.

@@malanalan1 It's a new product and takes time to get out there. We're talking to Fergusons and Home Depo Pro in the USA plus some National Companies. We're also working with several UK water companies in the UK, South Africa, Australia, Israel, Chile, Columbia.... shall I go on ?

If it took 20 or ,30 years, if this things buys another 15 I think it's still money well spent.

the whole issue is they cant get to it hahaha, if you could youd just repair it

yes that is the case, this is likely not a great way to fix it long term

You would be very surprised how many leaks there are that the Aquapea can be used on
