Schools and universities

We repair the sewer and drain lines across your school or university campus.

A campus runs on drainage that connects classroom buildings, dining halls, residence halls and athletic facilities, much of it underground and decades old. We inspect, clean and line your pipe in the windows your academic calendar allows, and we replace the sections that cannot be lined.

Estimates are free. Camera inspections may carry a charge.

About 1,500 feet of underground lining at a two-building Florida high school built in 1953 and 1980.

Campus-wide

Main and lateral drain cleaning, desilting and camera inspection across the Ringling campus in Sarasota, in morning, daytime and evening windows.

We schedule campus work around classes, events and breaks.

Summer and holiday breaks are the windows for work inside classroom buildings, dining halls and residence halls, so the inspection and scope need to be finished before the break starts. During the term, we work in the windows your campus can give us. At the Ringling, we worked in morning, daytime and evening windows around the property’s requirements. Tell us your calendar when you first contact us, and we build the scope around it.

We find what is failing in your campus drainage.

Underground lines between buildings have cracked and settled.

Campus sewers run long distances under lawns, walkways and roads, often in pipe as old as the first buildings. Cracks, roots and settled joints cause backups in the lowest building on the line. We line the suitable runs from manholes and cleanouts.

Dining hall and cafeteria lines are carrying grease.

Food-service lines load the campus sewer with grease that hardens downstream. We clean and inspect them, and line the corroded sections where your pipe wall can still carry a liner. Our restaurant and grease storage page covers kitchen lines in detail.

Residence hall stacks see heavy daily use.

A residence hall stack serves the same bathroom position on every floor and runs hard every morning and night. We clean, inspect and line those stacks during breaks. Our apartment building page explains riser work in occupied housing.

Storm drains under fields and parking are silting up.

Sediment and debris reduce storm capacity and cause ponding at inlets. We desilt and camera-inspect the lines, then line the runs that need it.

We plan your campus repair building by building.

Push camera evaluating the inside of a drain line
01

We camera-inspect the lines between and inside your buildings.

The footage gives your facilities team a building-by-building picture of what is failing.

02

We clean and desilt before we repair.

Cleaning restores flow and gives a complete inspection.

03

We line suitable runs with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP).

Lining goes in from existing access, so less of your lawns, walkways and floors has to be opened.

04

We replace the runs that have collapsed or lost their slope.

Those sections cannot carry a liner, so we excavate and replace each one on its own.

05

We camera-inspect the finished lines.

The closeout footage goes into your facilities records.

We have worked on drainage at a Florida high school and across the Ringling campus.

Florida high school · two buildings · 2 stories · built 1953 and 1980

We lined about 1,500 feet of underground pipe serving a two-building high school.

The Ringling · Sarasota

We cleaned, desilted and camera-inspected the main and lateral drains across the Ringling campus.

The Ringling is the State Art Museum of Florida, administered by Florida State University. The campus includes the Circus Museum, the Tibbals Center, the Searing Building, the Art Museum, the Education Building and Ca’ d’Zan, and we scheduled the work in morning, daytime and evening windows around the property’s requirements.

You receive footage, a written findings summary and a phased scope you can build into your capital plan.

The scope groups the work by building and by urgency, with a price for each phase, so the repair can follow your funding cycle.

We price your campus repair building by building.

  • Footage and diameter of the lines between and inside your buildings.
  • Residence hall and classroom stacks in the scope.
  • Cleaning and desilting needed before inspection.
  • Work during breaks versus evening windows during the term.
  • Runs that must be excavated and replaced.

Questions campus facility teams ask us.

Yes, when the inspection and scope are finished before the break. Contact us during the spring term, so the inspection and scope are done before the break begins.

Yes, in the windows your campus can give us. We agree those windows with your facilities team before the work starts.

Yes. We clean, inspect and line residence hall stacks the same way we restore risers in apartment buildings, and we schedule the work for breaks when the halls are empty.

Yes. The scope prices each building and phase separately, so you can fund the urgent work first.
