My water line broke late Saturday/early Sunday morning and Donald was available by phone as soon as my problem had been identified. Hydrant Mechanics arrived promptly the next morning to repair the broken pipe and they were undaunted by the tree roots that grown around were the break had occurred. I am very pleased with the service I received and the care they took to make sure I didn't have any additional hidden leaks after the repaired the major one. My waterline problem was resolved with 24 hours.

Responded to an urgent water main break that was causing significant water loss and property flooding. After isolating the issue, I performed a sectional pipe replacement to stop the leak and restore service. Water main breaks can happen due to old pipes, shifting ground, or extreme temperatures—quick repairs prevent further damage and water waste. If you suspect a hidden underground leak, professional inspection and repair are necessary.
An apartment complex was experiencing intermittent water outages. After testing the system, I found a failing underground control valve that wasn’t fully opening or closing. I excavated and repaired the valve to restore consistent water pressure to all units. If you’re dealing with pressure fluctuations or unexpected shutoffs, aging valves may be the culprit.
A fire department requested an inspection after noticing slow hydrant flow rates. Upon checking, I found that the hydrant’s main valve was worn out, restricting full pressure. I replaced the valve and tested the flow to ensure it met emergency requirements. Hydrant valve failures can impact fire protection, so regular testing and proactive hydrant maintenance are crucial for public safety.
A customer’s backflow prevention device was leaking, which can compromise water quality and safety. After diagnosing the issue, I replaced the faulty check valve and re-tested the system to confirm it was working properly. Backflow preventers are required to keep non-potable water from contaminating drinking water supplies, so regular testing and maintenance are critical for homes and businesses.
Today, I completed hydrant painting and maintenance for a local municipality. Regular painting isn’t just for appearance—it helps prevent corrosion, extends the hydrant’s lifespan, and ensures high visibility for emergency crews. Different colors on hydrants also indicate water flow rates, which assist firefighters in selecting the right hydrant during emergencies. If your local hydrants are faded or rusted, maintenance painting is essential.
I was called out to inspect water pooling near a meter vault, which indicated an underground water main leak. After excavating the area, I found a deteriorated section of pipe that needed immediate repair. Water main leaks can lead to high water bills, erosion, and property damage if not addressed quickly. If you notice unexpectedly high water usage or wet spots in your yard, a water main inspection is crucial.
I replaced an old, leaking gate valve on a water main today. The existing valve was no longer sealing properly, leading to constant leaks and potential water loss. Replacing worn-out valves ensures the main water lines function efficiently, preventing costly water waste and maintaining system integrity. If your main shutoff valve isn’t working as it should, it’s time for a professional replacement.
A customer reported uneven water pressure throughout their building. After troubleshooting, I found a partially closed or failing water valve restricting proper flow. Over time, valves can corrode or develop mineral buildup, leading to reduced efficiency. After rebuilding the valve, the system was restored to normal function. If you’re experiencing pressure inconsistencies, a professional valve inspection can pinpoint and resolve the issue.
Responded to a low water pressure issue and found a faulty fire hydrant valve restricting flow. A damaged hydrant can cause serious safety concerns for fire protection and needs immediate repair. I replaced the faulty parts and ensured the hydrant was fully operational. If you notice reduced water pressure in your area, it could be a hydrant issue—professional inspection and repair can prevent larger problems.
I’m performing annual backflow testing for a commercial property to ensure their water supply remains safe and contaminant-free. Backflow preventers protect against cross-contamination between potable and non-potable water sources. Regular testing is required to comply with local regulations and prevent issues with pressure fluctuations. If your property hasn’t had a recent backflow test, it’s crucial to schedule one to stay compliant and protect your drinking water.
Performed backflow testing for a commercial property in Raleigh, NC to ensure compliance with local water safety regulations. Inspected the backflow prevention assembly, checked for proper valve function, and verified pressure readings. The system passed all tests, ensuring clean, uncontaminated water supply and safeguarding public health. Scheduled routine testing for continued compliance.
Conducted a fire hydrant repair in Raleigh, NC, fixing a broken outlet nozzle. Removed the damaged nozzle, cleaned the threads, and installed a new outlet with a secure seal. Pressure-tested the hydrant to ensure proper water flow and functionality. The hydrant is now fully operational and ready for emergency use.
Repaired a water main leak in Raleigh, NC that was causing low pressure for nearby properties. Excavated the area to locate the damaged section, replaced a cracked pipe segment, and sealed all connections. Conducted pressure testing to ensure system integrity and backfilled the site. Restored reliable water flow and prevented further water loss.
Completed a fire hydrant repair in Cary, NC, resolving an issue with a seized operating nut. Disassembled the upper section, lubricated internal components, and replaced the worn-out operating nut. Additionally, inspected the hydrant's stem and bonnet for damage, ensuring smooth operation. After reassembly, pressure-tested the hydrant to confirm proper performance. The hydrant is now fully functional and ready for emergency use.
Performed a fire hydrant repair in Cary, NC, addressing a persistent leak at the flange connection. Disassembled the hydrant, replaced worn gaskets, and reassembled the unit. Tested for proper sealing and flow, ensuring no further leakage. The hydrant is now fully operational, enhancing fire safety for the surrounding area.
