Storm Drain & Sewer System Leak Detection
Comprehensive inspection and leak detection for municipal storm drain and sewer infrastructure
Protect Underground Infrastructure
Storm drain and sewer systems are critical infrastructure that often go unnoticed until failure. Leaks, infiltration, and structural issues can lead to environmental contamination, sinkholes, and costly emergency repairs.
Our specialized detection services identify problems early, allowing for planned maintenance rather than emergency response.
Common Issues We Find:
Systems We Inspect
Storm Drain Systems
Surface water collection and conveyance systems designed to handle rainfall and prevent flooding.
Sanitary Sewer Systems
Wastewater collection and transport systems requiring careful monitoring to prevent contamination.
Detection Methods
Video Inspection
CCTV cameras inspect pipe interiors to identify cracks, blockages, and structural issues
Flow Analysis
Monitor flow patterns to detect infiltration and identify system capacity issues
Dye Testing
Tracer dyes identify cross-connections and verify proper system separation
Problems We Solve
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I)
High PriorityGroundwater entering sewer systems through cracks and joints, overwhelming treatment capacity and increasing costs
Can double or triple treatment costs
Structural Failures
High PriorityPipe deterioration leading to collapse, sinkholes, and emergency repairs requiring road closures
Average emergency repair: $50,000-$500,000
Environmental Contamination
High PriorityLeaking sewage contaminating soil and groundwater, creating public health hazards and regulatory issues
Potential fines and cleanup costs
System Capacity Issues
High PriorityInfiltration reducing effective capacity, causing backups during storm events
Service disruptions and flooding
