What is your specialty?

I specialize in leak detection and trenchless pipe replacement. Our non-invasive pipe replacement system can be done without digging up your property - saving your driveway, stonewall or flowerbed, as well as saving you money.

What type of equipment do you use?

I use an ultrasonic listening device to listen for the sound created by the water as it escapes out of the broken pipe. The device I use also has filters to help eliminate the noise around the area such as airplanes, cars etc.

To listen for leaks I must know where the pipe line is and be over the top of it. If the pipe is metal I can locate it with my pipe locator. If it is plastic can I cut into the pipe and shove a cable down the pipe and then locate the cable thus locating the pipe. I then put the pipe back together and listen over the pipe.

I need my water line repaired or replaced but I don't want my yard ruined! What can you offer instead?

I can use trench-less pipe replacement technology. If your water line is made of plastic, I can replace it without having to dig up there entire yard, break up concrete or ruin landscaping. I can also do this on galvanized or metal pipe if it is no longer than 30 feet.

Trench-less pipe replacement technology requires a fraction of the time than conventional methods and typically costs between 60% percent less. I can save you time and money!

Also, when I make a repair, I usually do not use anything other than a shovel and hand tools. This keeps the process clean and efficient. It also lessons the possibility of damaging other underground utilities.
