Services
Sewer Drain Cleaning
Our sewer cleaning services utilize high-pressure water systems (up to 2500 psi) and vacuum trucks to remove debris and blockages from municipal sewer lines. Specialized equipment handles mainline sewers, lift stations, and catch basins while preventing pipe damage. We offer both scheduled maintenance contracts and emergency cleaning services.
Pipeline CCTV Inspection
Advanced CCTV inspection systems provide detailed pipeline condition assessments using NASSCO-certified software. Our pan-and-tilt cameras with lateral launch capabilities inspect all pipe sizes and generate comprehensive reports. Inspections help identify structural issues and prioritize maintenance needs for sewer and storm drain systems.
Hydro-Excavating
High-pressure water (up to 3000 psi) combined with vacuum systems safely excavates around underground utilities. This non-mechanical method prevents damage to pipelines and electrical systems while efficiently removing soil. Ideal for locating buried infrastructure and creating access points in sensitive areas.
Smoke Testing
Harmless smoke testing identifies leaks and improper connections in sewer systems. This cost-effective method reveals damaged pipes and illegal stormwater connections by visualizing smoke escape points. Particularly effective for coastal areas requiring strict storm drain containment.
Manhole Assessments
3D manhole scanning technology provides detailed condition assessments of critical components. Using Envirosight CleverScan systems, we create virtual models for NASSCO MACP ratings. Comprehensive reports include measurements, video documentation, and maintenance recommendations for manhole structures.
