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.

Performed system maintenance on multiple hydrants at a commercial property. Each hydrant was inspected, flushed, lubricated, and flow tested to verify performance. Minor repairs were made on two hydrants with worn stem seals. The system is now operating properly and prepared for reliable fire protection.
Installed a new isolation valve on a hydrant lead to allow future maintenance without shutting down the main line. The valve was set in line with the hydrant branch, torqued to specifications, and tested for leakage. This setup provides more efficient repairs and hydrant servicing going forward.
Repaired a leaking shoe connection on a Mueller hydrant. After excavating, we found a compromised gasket at the foot joint. We separated the hydrant, replaced the gasket and bolts, and reset the hydrant with proper drainage. Once complete, the hydrant was pressure tested and put back in service.
Completed a backflow preventer rebuild for a fire service line. The check valves and relief valve seats were heavily worn, so we installed new internals and performed a full backflow test. The assembly passed inspection and is now compliant with code requirements.
Repaired a stuck tamper switch on a post indicator valve. The switch was failing to signal properly, so we disassembled the housing, cleaned corrosion from the contacts, and installed a new switch assembly. After wiring checks, the PIV was tested and returned to full monitoring capability.
Painted and refurbished several hydrants in a residential community to improve visibility and extend service life. Each hydrant was prepped, primed, and coated with durable safety red paint to meet municipal standards. This ensures clear identification and long-lasting corrosion protection.
Responded to a hydrant shutdown issue on a Clow Medallion 5 ¼. The main valve rubber was deteriorated, allowing water to bypass. We removed the internal components, installed a new valve rubber kit, and replaced worn gaskets. After reassembly, the hydrant was flushed and placed back in service without further leaks.
Performed preventive maintenance on a 1999 American Darling hydrant that was difficult to operate. We conducted a full inspection, lubricated the operating nut and stem threads, and exercised the hydrant to restore smooth operation. The hydrant was then flow tested to confirm functionality and adequate water supply.
Installed a new Kennedy 4 ½ fire hydrant to replace an inoperable model that had sustained impact damage. We excavated the connection point, tied into the existing waterline, and set the new hydrant with proper drainage. After backfilling, we flushed and pressure tested to ensure reliability and long-term service.
Repaired a Mueller Super Centurion 5 ¼ hydrant that had excessive leakage around the bonnet. We disassembled the upper barrel, replaced the stem O-rings, and inspected the main valve seat for wear. After completing repairs, we reassembled the hydrant, flushed it thoroughly, and verified proper operation under full flow and shutoff conditions.
Repaired a 2001 Clow 4 1/2 that would not shut down all the way. We performed an internal inspection to ensure a long service life and replaced worn and damaged parts from normal usage. After reassembly of fire hydrant we flushed the hydrant to clear any remaining debris and pressure tested to check for additional leaks and operation.
Repaired a PIV that was way too low and was hit by vehicle and broken off at the top leaving it inoperable. Dug up and installed new post from top of valve and adjusted the height to place PIV back in service and up to proper code.
We repaired a Kennedy fire hydrant today that the bonnet broke and hydrant was placed out of service. We were one of four contractors to bid this job and the only one that quoted a repair while the other contractors told the customer there was no repairing the fire hydrant and had to replace the fire hydrant. It has been repaired and is back in service ready to provide water the fire department in case of emergency.
Today we are rebuilding a fire hydrant that was not draining and not shutting off properly. This hydrant was marked to be replaced but thanks to hydrant mechanics this hydrant was repaired and placed back in service to continue providing protection for years to come.
Dug up and replaced top post of PIV that was hit by equipment and breaking top section. After installation we properly adjusted the sight glass to properly indicate if the valve was open or shut. Then restored the area to minimize surrounding disturbance of job site after completion.
