Don't see how they can get throughout the piping, around the tight ells and
tees and do a good and completely coated job. Also what happens to the
valves and other fittings?
I think I would agree with total abandoning and replacing with PEX and have
it done properly throughout.

My 20 year old condo keeps developing pinholes in the copper plumping.
Just a matter of time before they occur in the slab and/or I get fed up
with the drywall damage and go for a repipe job. My neighbor had a
repipe and it was horrible, and he only got a one year warranty (seems
typical in Tampa, Florida) I've been reading of a new process called
pipe relining, where they clean out your existing copper pipes and line
them with epoxy (similar to some of the food cans that have a layer of
epoxy over the tin). They give a 10 year warranty and claim to do NO
damage to your walls, and claim to get the job done fast. Anyone have
experience (or an educated opinion) on this new process?

Thanks, Jon in Tampa
