Services
Pipeline CCTV Inspection
Our Pipeline CCTV Inspection service uses advanced camera systems and NASSCO-certified software to assess underground pipeline conditions. We provide detailed video reports for maintenance planning, ensuring compliance with federal and state standards. This technology helps identify blockages, cracks, and structural issues in sewer and storm drain systems.
Sewer and Storm Drain Cleaning
Sewer and Storm Drain Cleaning employs high-pressure water jets and vacuum trucks to remove debris and solids from pipelines. Our fleet handles mainline sewers, catch basins, and lift stations, using custom nozzles to prevent pipe damage. Water recycling technology reduces environmental impact during cleaning operations.
Hydro-Excavating
Hydro-Excavating uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities without mechanical digging. This non-destructive method efficiently removes soil around pipelines or power systems, minimizing damage risks during excavation projects in challenging locations.
Smoke Testing
Smoke Testing identifies leaks and improper connections in sewer systems by introducing odorless smoke into pipelines. This cost-effective method detects defects like cracked seals or illegal stormwater connections, helping prevent environmental contamination in coastal and urban areas.
Manhole Assessments
Manhole Assessments utilize 3D scanning technology to evaluate manhole components for wear and structural integrity. Our NASSCO MACP-rated inspections produce detailed digital models, enabling precise condition analysis and maintenance planning for municipal sewer infrastructure.
