Water Jetting

Video Pipe Inspection

Sewer camera and video pipe inspection

Our Spartan Mini Cam system pushes a color camera up to 200 ft from the access point, letting us visually see down the sewer line and pinpoint exactly what the problem is. Combined with our Spartan pipe locating system, we mark exactly where the problem is for easy excavation and repair — and we can give you a second opinion on so-called "broken" sewers.

We can video-inspect:

• Sanitary sewer pipelines
• Storm pipelines & process waste lines
• Water lines
• Boreholes, drilled shafts & wells
• Tunnels, caverns & confined space

Smoke Testing

Find the source of sewer odor — for sure

"We've got this sewer gas smell — can you find where it's coming from? Other plumbers have tried and can't figure it out." With smoke testing, the answer is yes. Smoke issuing from openings pinpoints sources of storm-water inflow into sewage systems. Maintenance crews can quickly trace uncapped or abandoned lines, illegal connections, leaky manholes, odor problems, line stoppages, and even rodent entry points. Diagnose the problem and you may have an instant repair order.

• Residential & commercial smoke testing
• Variety of smoke types & blower options to meet any specification
• Storm-water inflow analysis
• Tracing abandoned lines, illegal connections & leaky manholes

Frozen Pipes

We thaw — and repair — frozen water pipes

Nebraska winters are hard on plumbing. Our KT-200 pipe thawing kit safely thaws metal water pipes, and we repair what the freeze left behind. Improper thawing can burst pipes, so the quicker you call, the better your chances of minimizing damage.

Quick prevention tips

• Keep the water meter area heated — especially pipes against outside walls
• Insulate pipes and caulk openings that let cold air reach them
• Let a faucet drip during extreme cold — moving water is harder to freeze
• Never use torches to thaw pipes — and keep your meter shutoff valve in working order
