Residential and commercial applications
Used for residential service lines, irrigation systems, pool supply lines and commercial underground main lines.
For Houston property owners
Subsurface lines throughout the area are prone to root intrusion and soil movement caused by the local vegetation. Rising water tables due to tropical weather can place additional pressure on these buried lines. We use specialized sensors to detect these deep leaks through the layers of earth.
