THE PROBLEM

It’s every homeowners nightmare. You leave for a couple days on a well-deserved vacation, only to come
back to a house full of water. So much stress and worry over something so simple as a leaky pipe.
Or worse, one day you are just making the rounds of the house. You smell something a little musty. What
could that be? Black mold. It’s so simple, you almost would think someone would have fixed it by now.

THE COST

A campaign reports that 650 water main breaks per day. This results in an average cost of repair of $500 – $10,000 to replace tile, clean up water, and eliminate black mold.

THE SOLUTION

Drip will:
• Eliminate the threat of water damage and black mold.
• Allow homeowners to have peace of mind in their daily lives.
• Increase heating efficiency

All while informing the homeowner of everything it is doing.

The main component to our system is a tubing which is slid around water pipes during the installation process. The tubing flows naturally into the process as it is created to be put together exactly as the pipes themselves are installed. All the workers have to do is simply add this into their regular flow as a last step.
