Pipe Tapping
Our pipe tapping services enable safe, non-disruptive service connections up to 2" diameter. Using specialized equipment, we perform pressure tapping for main extensions, hydrant installations, and system expansions without interrupting water flow. This critical service ensures continuous utility operation while accommodating infrastructure upgrades.
Leak Detection
We employ advanced leak detection technology for water transmission and distribution systems. Our trained technicians use electronic locators and pressure monitoring systems to identify underground leaks 24/7. This service helps reduce water loss, prevent property damage, and maintain system efficiency through proactive maintenance.
Valve Maintenance
Our valve maintenance programs ensure reliable operation of water system control valves. We perform regular inspections, lubrication, and repairs on wedge, plug, and butterfly valves. This preventive maintenance extends equipment life, ensures emergency readiness, and maintains optimal system pressure regulation.
Pressure Testing
We conduct comprehensive pressure testing for new or repaired water lines exceeding AWWA standards. Our services include hydrostatic testing, air testing for sewer lines, and vacuum testing for manholes. These tests verify system integrity, identify infiltration/exfiltration points, and ensure compliance with engineering specifications.
Emergency Repairs
Our 24/7 emergency response team handles critical waterworks issues including pipe bursts, hydrant failures, and system leaks. With rapid deployment capabilities and specialized equipment, we minimize service disruptions and restore infrastructure functionality. This service includes after-hours support for municipalities and utilities.
