Brush Coating Pipe Repair from Total Drain Solutions
Brush coating is a non-invasive pipe restoration method that uses epoxy resin to rehabilitate aging or corroded sewer and drain pipes from the inside. At Total Drain Solutions, we provide professional brush coating services for residential and commercial properties across Florida and Nevada, extending pipe lifespan without excavation or replacement.
What Is Brush Coating Pipe Repair?
Brush coating is a trenchless pipe repair technique where an epoxy coating is mechanically applied to the interior walls of existing pipes using rotating brushes. Once cured, the epoxy forms a smooth, corrosion-resistant barrier that seals cracks, prevents leaks, and restores structural integrity.
This method is ideal for extending the life of pipes affected by corrosion, scale buildup, or minor deterioration, without the need for digging, demolition, or pipe replacement.
- Extends the life of aging pipes
Improves flow and prevents corrosion
Non-invasive and fast to install
Safe for residential and commercial systems
How Brush Coating Works
Our brush coating process begins with a thorough inspection and cleaning of the pipe to remove debris, scale, and buildup. Once prepared, specialized rotating brushes evenly apply epoxy resin along the interior pipe walls. The coating cures in place, creating a seamless protective lining.
This process restores pipe performance, improves flow capacity, and reinforces weakened pipe walls without excavation.
Benefits of Epoxy Pipe Coating
Our brush coating process offers lasting protection for your plumbing system:
- Prevents rust, corrosion, and mineral buildup
- Creates a smooth interior surface for improved water flow
- Strengthens existing pipes without reducing diameter
- Cost-effective alternative to pipe replacement
- Eco-friendly solution with minimal disruption
- Suitable for cast iron, clay, PVC, and concrete pipes
- Can last 40–50 years when properly applied
Common Pipe Problems Solved by Brush Coating
Brush coating effectively addresses a wide range of pipe issues, including:
-
Internal corrosion and abrasion
-
Small cracks and leaks
-
Bacterial growth and waste buildup
-
Hard water scaling
-
Early-stage root intrusion damage
If your pipes in Florida or Nevada are aging or corroded but structurally sound, brush coating may restore full function and prevent future failures.

Brush Coating Pipe Repair FAQs
Brush coating is a trenchless pipe restoration method that applies an epoxy resin to the inside of existing pipes using rotating brushes. The epoxy cures in place, sealing corrosion, small cracks, and deterioration while restoring smooth water flow.
The process starts with cleaning and preparing the pipe interior. A specialized brush then evenly applies epoxy resin along the pipe walls. Once cured, the coating forms a durable, corrosion-resistant lining without digging or pipe replacement.
When properly installed, epoxy brush coating can last 40–50 years. Longevity depends on pipe condition, usage, and maintenance, but it is designed as a long-term rehabilitation solution.
Brush coating is best for localized repairs, smaller-diameter pipes, or mild-to-moderate corrosion. Pipe lining (CIPP) is typically better for full-length structural rehabilitation. A sewer camera inspection helps determine the right solution.
Brush coating works well on cast iron, clay, concrete, and some PVC pipes, as long as the pipe is structurally sound. Severely collapsed or misaligned pipes may require lining or replacement instead.
No. The epoxy coating is thin and creates a smooth interior surface, which often improves flow by reducing friction, scale, and buildup.
Yes. Epoxy coatings used for pipe rehabilitation are industry-approved, safe once cured, and environmentally friendly. The process avoids excavation, reduces waste, and extends the life of existing pipes.
Brush coating effectively seals small cracks, pinhole leaks, surface corrosion, and scaling. It also prevents future corrosion by creating a protective barrier inside the pipe.
Most brush coating projects can be completed within a few hours to one day, depending on pipe length, access points, and pipe condition. Cure times are typically fast, allowing normal use shortly after.
The cost depends on pipe size, length, condition, and accessibility. Brush coating is generally more affordable than pipe replacement and often less expensive than full pipe lining. Contact us for a free evaluation and estimate.
