Services
Hydroblasting
Our hydroblasting solutions use high-pressure water (2,50040,000 PSI) to clean industrial surfaces, pipes, and tanks efficiently. Automated systems reduce operator exposure to hazards while ensuring precision in challenging environments. Combining this with vacuum services minimizes downtime for clients in Augusta, GA and surrounding areas.
Vacuum Excavation
Non-destructive excavation using air or water jets paired with industrial vacuums safely exposes underground utilities. This method prevents pipeline damage, reduces liability, and accelerates project timelines for municipal and construction clients across the Southeastern United States.
Sewer Cleaning
High-velocity water jets and root cutters clear blockages in sanitary and storm sewers. Remote visual inspections verify pipe integrity post-cleaning, ensuring compliance and preventing future issues for industrial and municipal customers in Augusta and Columbia.
Remote Visual Inspection
Advanced crawler systems and underwater ROVs inspect pipelines, tanks, and hazardous spaces without human entry. This technology identifies breaks, root intrusions, or imperfections, providing actionable data to maintain infrastructure integrity for Augusta-area clients.
Emergency Response
HAZWOPER-certified teams respond 24/7 to hazardous material spills, offering containment, cleanup, and disposal. Our rapid deployment minimizes environmental impact and operational downtime for industrial clients in emergency scenarios.
