Services

Hydro Excavation

Our hydro excavation services use high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This non-destructive method prevents damage to critical infrastructure while ensuring precise trenching and potholing. With advanced equipment and experienced operators, we deliver faster results than traditional methods while maintaining strict safety protocols for commercial and municipal projects.

Sewer Inspections

We provide comprehensive CCTV and manhole inspections to identify pipe defects and structural issues. Our NASSCO-certified technicians use robotic crawlers and digital reporting to assess sewer conditions accurately. This enables proactive maintenance planning and compliance with municipal standards while minimizing costly emergency repairs through early defect detection.

Infrastructure Repairs

Our infrastructure repair services cover sanitary and storm sewers, water lines, and catch basins. With specialized equipment and trained crews, we address cracks, root intrusion, and structural failures using trenchless technologies where possible. This approach reduces surface disruption while extending the lifespan of municipal and commercial drainage systems.

GIS Management

We create and maintain GIS systems for municipalities using GPS data from inspections and field surveys. Our digital asset management solutions enable better decision-making through spatial analysis of sewer networks. This technology supports long-term infrastructure planning and regulatory compliance with detailed, up-to-date mapping and condition assessments.

Sewer Locates

Our sewer locate services identify underground utility positions before excavation work begins. Using advanced detection equipment, we map sewer lines and other buried infrastructure to prevent accidental damage during construction. This critical service ensures safety compliance and protects existing underground systems while facilitating efficient project execution.

Fantastic service. Professional and speedy. Chris Reid came in to do a SSI and ended up working through the drain problem I was having. He was diligent despite having another appointment 50 km away. Many thanks for the great service!

This was the most unprofessional experience Ive ever had. I run a business myself and what was displayed today in my home absolutely disgusted me thinking that There are trades out there working with this type of standard. Recently called the city because all my water is backed up. The city sent out a city worker along with a sub contracted company ( bob robinson & son)
no floor runners or drop sheets
no tarp
plumber walked in with his boots full of slush/snow/rain. I was courteous enough to empty the main stack the night prior and day of in front of the plumber and city worker

I seriously hope the lead that is here in the rose village complex working is not head of your business. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. I would love for someone to explain to me how me asking how much longer the work will take, effects the work they are doing. I can understand that estimated times change but when your given a three hour window and you are told that they have just started, understand where community is coming from in their frustrations. Maybe when you have work that needs to be done that will completely block off the only entrance and exit of a complex Fix it first!
