Municipal buildings

We repair the cast-iron and underground drain lines in your municipal building.

City halls, community centers, libraries and public housing built in past decades drain through cast iron and underground lines that are now scaling, cracking and failing at their fittings. We locate the damage with a camera, clean the line, restore suitable pipe from inside and show you the finished line on camera.

Estimates are free. Camera inspections may carry a charge.

A deteriorated cast-iron fitting found on camera, cleaned, repaired with a cured-in-place liner and confirmed by a final camera inspection.

300+ ft

Of main sewer cleaned and lined overnight at Orlando Family Center, a community center that stayed open during the day.

1,500 ft

About 1,500 feet of underground lining for a four-story, 100-unit Florida housing authority property, with interior excavation where pipe had collapsed.

We locate the defect causing the backups and odors in your public building.

Cast-iron fittings are corroding through.

Fittings are often the first part of a cast-iron line to fail, because the flow changes direction there and the wall wears unevenly. At an unnamed city hall, our camera found a deteriorated cast-iron fitting, and we cleaned the line and repaired it with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP).

Sewer gas is reaching occupied rooms.

An odor in a lobby or meeting room usually means a cracked line, a failed joint or a dry trap is letting sewer gas through. At Orlando Family Center, vapor testing addressed reported sewer-gas concerns as part of the same repair program.

Underground lines under slabs and parking are cracked or collapsed.

The building sewer under your slab and parking carries every fixture’s flow. We line the runs that can carry a liner and excavate only where pipe has collapsed, as on a housing authority property with interior excavation for its collapsed sections.

We schedule your repair around public hours, meetings and events.

01

We camera-inspect the line from existing access.

The footage locates the fitting, crack or offset behind the problem and shows how far the damage runs.

02

We clean the line before we repair it.

Cleaning removes scale and debris, so the repair goes onto a sound surface and the final inspection is complete.

03

We line suitable pipe and replace what cannot be lined.

CIPP restores sound pipe from inside. Collapsed sections are replaced, and so are cleanouts when the scope calls for it, as at Orlando Family Center, where we excavated and replaced the cleanouts.

04

We test for sewer gas when odors are part of the problem.

Vapor testing helps show where gas is escaping, so the repair covers the source.

05

We camera-inspect the finished line.

The closeout footage confirms the repair and goes into your facility file.

When your building cannot close during the day, we can schedule overnight work, as we did at Orlando Family Center in 2013.

We have repaired drains in a city hall, a community center and public housing.

Unnamed municipal building · published August 2023

We found a deteriorated cast-iron fitting on camera, cleaned the line, repaired it with CIPP and confirmed the result with a final camera inspection.

Orlando Family Center · Orlando · 2013

Our overnight sewer repair kept the Orlando Family Center open during the day.

We cleaned and lined more than 300 feet of main sewer, excavated and replaced the cleanouts, and used vapor testing to address reported sewer-gas concerns.

Florida housing authority · 4 stories · 100 units · built 1985

We lined about 1,500 feet of underground pipe and excavated inside the building to repair its collapsed sections.

You receive footage, a written findings summary and a scope your department can schedule across budget years.

The scope separates urgent sections from work that can follow, with a price for each, so the repair can be split between fiscal years when it has to be.

Storm drains, sewer mains and other public infrastructure are covered on our governmental structures page.

We price your building's repair from what the camera finds and when we can work.

  • The length, diameter and condition of each line in the scope.
  • Failed fittings and cleanouts that need replacement.
  • Odor testing, when sewer gas is part of the problem.
  • After-hours or overnight work around public hours and events.
  • Sections under slabs that must be excavated instead of lined.

Questions municipal facility managers ask us.

Yes, where your building needs it. Our Orlando Family Center repair was done overnight so the building could open each day. Tell us your public hours and events, and we plan around them.

We combine camera inspection with vapor testing to look for where gas is escaping, as at Orlando Family Center, then repair the line we find.

Yes. When your project has a specification, we price the work against it. When it does not, our inspection findings give your engineer a defined starting point.

Yes. See our governmental structures page for storm pipe, sanitary mains and point repairs.
