Services
Hydro-Excavation
Our hydro-excavation service uses high-pressure water and vacuum technology to safely expose underground utilities. This non-destructive method is ideal for congested areas with sensitive infrastructure like gas lines and electrical conduits. We can dig precise 8-10 inch holes or create slot trenches up to 20 feet deep while minimizing surface disruption.
Sewer Camera Inspections
We perform comprehensive sewer line inspections using advanced camera systems for pipes 3-36 inches in diameter. Our mini-cam equipment includes locating capabilities to identify blockages, root intrusions, and structural issues. This diagnostic service helps plan repairs and maintenance for both residential and commercial properties.
Catch Basin Cleaning
Our catch basin and sand trap cleaning service maintains proper drainage systems using specialized vacuum equipment. We remove accumulated debris and contaminated materials following Department of Ecology regulations. This service prevents flooding and ensures compliance with environmental standards for commercial properties and construction sites.
Root Cutting
We remove tree root intrusions from sewer lines using high-pressure water jetting and mechanical cutting tools. Our technicians clear blockages while preserving pipe integrity. This service restores proper flow and prevents future damage to underground plumbing systems in both residential and commercial settings.
Dewatering
Our dewatering service removes excess water from construction sites and excavations using high-capacity pumping systems. We handle both temporary and long-term water management needs while following environmental regulations. This service ensures safe working conditions and prevents water damage during infrastructure projects.
