How the job runs

  1. Find the access point

    We find a cleanout or other opening. If the line is full of water, it may need clearing first.
  2. Run the camera

    The camera travels down the line to the city main while we watch the screen together and point out what we see.
  3. Locate and mark

    When we find a problem, a locator can find it from above, so we can mark where and how deep it is.
  4. Explain your options

    We tell you what we saw, what can wait and what cannot, and give a flat price for any repair.
