Built For the Systems Your Community Counts On.

Most sanitary sewer overflows in Florida trace back to water that was never supposed to be in the pipe. Infiltration through cracked joints and inflow from illicit connections push peak flows past what a lift station was sized to carry, and the overflow shows up at the manhole rather than at the defect. EPA guidance on sanitary sewer evaluation surveys (SSES) has been consistent for decades on the sequence. Quantify the flow, isolate the contributing basins, then clean and inspect before anyone specifies a rehabilitation method. Our NASSCO certified technicians run that sequence with pipeline cleaning and CCTV inspection so the defect list is coded, not estimated.

Laterals are where municipal programs stall. Private-side service connections often contribute a large share of basin infiltration, and they sit on the far side of an easement line, which makes them an access and consent problem as much as an engineering one. The L.A.T.E.R.A.L. Method exists to make that work programmatic, with pre-staged access, resident notification, and a repeatable per-connection unit cost a council can budget against.

When FDEP consent order language enters the conversation, the record matters more than the repair. Coded condition data, before and after verification, and post-rehabilitation testing give a utility something to submit rather than describe. The same documentation supports MS4 obligations tracked through our stormwater compliance work, so sanitary and stormwater capital requests are defended from one dataset.
