In 2011 our founder Klas Alfthan realized he had bought an apartment from a housing co-op that was soon to undergo a repiping project. In order to find out why repiping projects were normally carried out, Klas started researching the subject. It turned out that the main reason behind the need of pipe repair was organic waste that accumulates in drainpipes. When organic waste rots, it produces toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, a highly corrosive gas that corrodes pipes. Brittle pipes need to be replaced and the homeowners need to find another place to stay for several months at worst.

This revelation was the beginning of ProtectPipe, a microbiotech company that offers a sustainable and safe solution for removing the organic waste from drainpipes.
