A piping system can be effectively cleaned in one pass using dry particulates that are forced and pulled by air, facilitated by a generator and a vacuum. This process protects pipes from water corrosion, erosion, and electrolysis, thereby extending the life of materials such as copper, steel, lead, brass, cast iron, and composite materials. The coatings can be applied to pipes with diameters of up to approximately 6 inches. Additionally, leak sealants of at least 4 mils thick can cover the insides of pipes, utilizing novel mixtures of fillers and epoxy materials with specific viscosity levels. A positive pressure is maintained within the pipes during application, allowing the piping systems to be returned to service within approximately 96 hours.
