I'm looking for more data points to see whether there is a trend.


1 for 1 is a trend...

And you've a piece of the material to inspect firsthand; what more do
you expect?

Other stuff to consider...

I see they tortured some rabbits and rats to get this data. Yes, forcing
them to ingest huge amounts of Triethylenetetramine as well as holding
the eyes open and flooding them with it is torture. I hope the crap
hoses up everyone's pipes they use it on and they go broke.


One process only has 10-yr warranty; how old are the pipes in the
house at present for comparison?

Cost estimates in most references I've run across are roughly
equivalent to replacement _INCLUDING_ repair of finished surfaces
unless very upgraded treatments were used.

In addition, the DuraFlo site says if they find a leak while doing the
job they repair the section, anyway.
