Services
CIPP Lining
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining renews damaged pipelines without excavation. This method involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into existing pipes, which is then cured to form a seamless, durable replacement. Ideal for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems, CIPP minimizes surface disruption and extends pipeline lifespan by decades.
Geopolymer Coating
Geopolymer coating applies high-strength, corrosion-resistant mortar to restore large-diameter pipes. This trenchless solution strengthens concrete, metal, or masonry pipelines while allowing intermittent work schedules. Its ideal for sanitary sewers and stormwater systems requiring structural reinforcement without full replacement.
Spiral Wound PVC
Spiral Wound PVC (SPR) creates a new internal lining by machine-winding PVC strips into existing pipelines. Suitable for diameters 18144, SPR accommodates non-round shapes and live flow conditions. This fast, eco-friendly method provides leak-proof rehabilitation for stormwater culverts and sewer interceptors with minimal excavation.
Sliplining
Sliplining installs a smaller-diameter pipe within a damaged host pipeline to restore structural integrity. This technique is ideal for large, corroded pipes where excavation is impractical. By grouting the annular space, sliplining creates a robust, long-lasting solution for water and wastewater systems with minimal surface disruption.
BulletLiner Installation
BulletLiner is a trenchless solution for pressure pipelines, using a flexible, high-strength liner inserted through two small access points. NSF 61-certified and PFAS-free, it provides watertight rehabilitation for water, wastewater, oil, and gas lines. This method eliminates excavation, reduces downtime, and ensures long-term performance at a fraction of replacement costs.

What kind of company starts scheduled maintenance on a sewer system and doesn't let the customer know? Notifying you by a flyer on your door stating work is scheduled to start 5-21 at 2pm... IT IS MAY 21ST and past 2pm... It's a lovely flyer saying: keep bathroom uses to a minimum, no bathing, no laundry and do not use dishwasher. Work SHOULD be done in 8-10 hours... oh yeah and the enjoy the sounds of a giant truck running right out side of your house. The last 3 hours I have been home have been amazing. Trying to cook with minimal water usage... and in every room of my house I can hear the truck
