Services
Sewer Drain Cleaning
Our combination trucks use high-pressure water (up to 2500 psi) and vacuum systems to remove debris from sewer lines. Custom nozzles prevent pipe damage while specialized equipment handles hard-to-reach areas. We offer both system-wide cleaning and time-and-material services for municipal and commercial clients.
Pipeline CCTV Inspection
Advanced CCTV systems with pan-and-tilt cameras provide comprehensive pipeline diagnostics. Certified operators use NASSCO PACP standards-compliant software (POSM, Granite, WinCAN) to generate detailed reports. Lateral launch technology enables inspection of connected pipe systems without surface disruption.
Hydro-Excavating
High-pressure water (up to 3000 psi) combined with vacuum extraction safely exposes underground utilities. This non-mechanical method minimizes damage risk while handling both liquid and solid waste. Our self-contained units decant liquids for environmentally responsible disposal.
Smoke Testing
Harmless smoke injection identifies defective seals and illegal connections in sewer systems. This cost-effective method locates stormwater infiltration points and verifies pipe integrity without excavation. Particularly effective for coastal area assessments and access-challenged locations.
Manhole Assessments
3D scanning technology (Envirosight CleverScan) creates detailed manhole condition reports. Our NASSCO MACP-rated assessments include structural measurements, component analysis, and virtual imaging. Comprehensive data delivery includes external hard drives for large-scale municipal projects.
