Wastewater & Infrastructure Solutions for Municipalities

Municipal Wastewater & Public Infrastructure Services in Ohio

Find the Right Solution for Your Needs

Ensuring Public Health & Environmental Compliance

Why Municipal Wastewater Management Matters

Municipalities are responsible for managing wastewater, stormwater, and public infrastructure to protect public health, prevent environmental hazards, and comply with local and federal regulations. Our specialized municipal services ensure efficient system operation, reduce the risk of failures, and maintain compliance with environmental standards. 

Without proper maintenance, sewer systems, catch basins, and treatment facilities can experience blockages, overflows, and contamination, leading to costly repairs and potential regulatory fines. Our team provides proactive solutions to keep municipal systems functioning efficiently.

Preventing Costly Repairs & Environmental Violations

Why Routine Maintenance Is Critical for Municipalities

Regulatory Compliance

Meet EPA, state, and local wastewater regulations to avoid costly fines.

System Efficiency

Reduce blockages, overflows, and service disruptions by maintaining infrastructure.

Environmental Protection

Prevent contamination of water sources and public areas.

Long-Term Cost Savings

Avoid emergency repairs and costly system replacements with proactive maintenance.

Public Safety

Ensure sanitary conditions in municipal wastewater and drainage systems.

Lift Station Services

Proper maintenance of municipal lift stations is crucial for preventing backups, overflows, and pump failures. Our team provides routine inspections, cleaning, and emergency repairs to keep lift stations running efficiently. We remove debris, clear blockages, and check pump operation to prevent system failures. We also offer flow meter sales and installation to ensure accurate discharge monitoring. Regular wet well cleaning and pump servicing help extend the lifespan of lift station components and ensure continuous operation. Whether your municipality needs scheduled maintenance, flow monitoring upgrades, or emergency repairs, we have the expertise to keep your wastewater systems functioning smoothly.

Hydro Jetting

Municipal sewer and drainage systems are prone to blockages from grease, sediment, and debris. Our high-pressure hydro jetting services effectively clear sewer lines, storm drains, and wastewater systems without damaging infrastructure. This environmentally friendly cleaning method uses pressurized water to break through tough clogs, remove buildup, and restore full pipe capacity. Routine hydro jetting helps municipalities prevent backups, reduce maintenance costs, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Hydro Excavation

Traditional digging methods can damage underground utilities and disrupt infrastructure. Hydro excavation is a safe, non-invasive alternative that uses pressurized water and a high-powered vacuum to remove soil while protecting buried pipes, cables, and municipal infrastructure. This method is ideal for utility line exposure, sewer system repairs, and excavation in restricted spaces. By choosing hydro excavation, municipalities can minimize risks, reduce costs, and complete projects with precision and safety.

Catch Basin Cleaning

Catch basins play a critical role in stormwater management, preventing flooding and controlling debris buildup in municipal drainage systems. Over time, leaves, litter, and sediment accumulate, leading to clogs, standing water, and potential environmental hazards. Our catch basin cleaning services remove debris, ensuring proper drainage and stormwater flow. Regular maintenance helps municipalities prevent costly repairs, maintain compliance, and improve public safety by reducing the risk of water pooling and roadway flooding.

Sludge Removal

Municipal wastewater treatment plants generate sludge and biosolids that must be safely removed and processed. Our sludge removal services ensure proper collection, dewatering, and disposal to keep wastewater treatment facilities operating efficiently. We use advanced vacuum trucks and sludge dewatering systems to handle sludge removal quickly, safely, and in compliance with environmental regulations. Proper sludge management reduces operational costs and prevents sludge buildup from affecting plant performance.

Whether your municipality requires bulk hauling, lagoon waste management, or industrial facility cleanouts, we have the expertise and equipment to handle your waste disposal needs.

Confined Space Entry & Work

Maintaining municipal sewer systems, lift stations, and underground wastewater tanks requires specialized expertise in confined space entry. Our team is certified and trained to safely enter and perform maintenance, repairs, and cleaning in tight, hazardous environments. We follow OSHA safety regulations, ensuring proper ventilation, protective equipment use, and fall protection for every confined space project. Whether it’s tank cleaning, pipe repairs, or underground system inspections, we handle the job safely and efficiently.

Lagoon Cleaning

Over time, municipal lagoons accumulate sludge, sediment, and organic waste, reducing treatment capacity and efficiency. Our lagoon cleaning services use specialized dredging, dewatering, and sludge removal techniques to restore function and improve water quality. We remove excess buildup, improve aeration, and extend lagoon lifespan while ensuring environmental compliance. Regular cleaning helps prevent odors, system failures, and costly dredging projects in the future.

Wastewater Solutions

Municipalities must effectively manage and treat wastewater to maintain public health and environmental safety. Our comprehensive wastewater solutions include treatment facility support, sewer line maintenance, sludge processing, and compliance monitoring. We help municipalities implement efficient, cost-effective wastewater management strategies that meet EPA standards and local regulations. From stormwater systems to large-scale wastewater treatment plants, we provide tailored solutions to improve efficiency and reliability.

Treatment Facility Management

Municipal wastewater treatment facilities require routine maintenance, monitoring, and compliance oversight to operate efficiently. Our team provides full-service facility management, including equipment maintenance, sludge removal, and process optimization. We ensure regulatory compliance, proper waste treatment, and ongoing performance monitoring to prevent costly shutdowns or environmental violations. With our expertise, municipalities can maximize treatment plant efficiency and lifespan.

Trenchless Pipelining

Aging municipal sewer systems are prone to cracks, leaks, and root intrusion, leading to costly repairs and environmental concerns. Trenchless pipelining is a no-dig solution that repairs and reinforces underground sewer lines without extensive excavation. Using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology, we restore pipe integrity, improve flow capacity, and prevent leaks with minimal disruption. This cost-effective and long-lasting method helps municipalities extend the lifespan of their sewer infrastructure.

Landfill Services

Proper waste management at municipal landfills requires efficient waste collection, leachate removal, and environmental monitoring. Our landfill services include waste hauling, site cleanup, and compliance support to ensure landfills meet state and federal environmental regulations. We also provide liquid waste removal and treatment for landfill leachate to prevent groundwater contamination and maintain safe disposal practices.

Leachate Services

Leachate from municipal landfills and wastewater treatment plants can pose serious environmental risks if not properly managed. Our leachate removal and treatment services ensure proper collection, transportation, and disposal of contaminated liquid waste. Using advanced filtration and treatment methods, we help municipalities prevent groundwater contamination, reduce environmental impact, and comply with EPA regulations.

Oil Water Separators

Municipal facilities, public works garages, and industrial sites use oil water separators to prevent oils, grease, and sludge from contaminating wastewater. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure these systems function properly, preventing blockages and meeting environmental compliance. Our team provides separator inspections, waste removal, and system maintenance to keep municipal oil water separators running efficiently.
