Municipal water leak surveys
If you want us to find water leaks in a city owned water system, we need to see what you currently know of your issue to possibly quote a daily rate. Call us to set an appointment to review your specific needs so we can calculate your best cost for our services.
Farmer needs to find a water source.
We will need to review the farm via Google Maps to determine the best location to hunt for water that would be in a reasonable distance to your electric source for your pump's needs. Once we see the farm, we can discuss the best route and costs for you. (Keep in mind that it takes roughly an hour to cover an acre of ground. We need to map a plan of coverage.)
University campus steam leaks
We can only find a leak in the return condensate lines during operation. However, once you convert the lines to chilled water or hot water, we can find the leaks underground. We need puddles of water to detect. Steam is not detectable until it has condensed into the liquid form. Call us.
Digging new lakes or ponds
Multiply the overall exterior width and length of the water area. Now divide that result by 1200. This is the number of half hours for us to locate. If the result is one or less, you pay only the minimum charge plus any additional mileage over 50 miles from the New Albany, Indiana, post office.
