Trench-Less Replacement of Sewer Piping

HammerHead® piercing, bursting and ramming products are used by contractors around the globe to install or replace fiber, communication, water, sewer and gas lines with minimal disruption to above ground landscapes, structures and traffic flow.

Excavated Lateral Replacement

  • With excavated lateral replacement methods large and heavy construction equipment is used to dig up the old pipe.
  • Large trenches and big equipment damage lawns, kill trees and destroy expensive landscaping.
  • Excavated lateral replacement methods may result in soil settling which can damage surface structures.
  • Depending on soil conditions, the rehabilitation of landscaping may take years and can be both difficult and expensive.
  • Excavated replacement is slower and excavations may be open for extended periods.

Trenchless Lateral Replacement

Trenchless technology allows us to do this from one or two small access points. This means:

  • Quicker repair and minimal disruption to your daily routine.
  • The installation of brand new HDPE pipe which is guaranteed to be leak free.
  • The new installation of HDPE pipe which is resistant to corrosion and root infestation as well as earthquake and ground movement.
  • Alternative methods such as lining may be a short term fix and can result in reduced flow away from your home.
  • Most trenchless lateral replacements can be done in less than a day.
  • After trenchless replacement of your sewer lateral it's hard to tell we were ever there.

Sewer & Drain Pipe Inspection Camera

Rudd has two cameras which all of our service technicians are specially trained in operating. Running a camera down a problematic line can greatly reduce the guess work typically involved in trying to fix the problem with the line. Rudd’s cameras not only enable their technicians to see exactly what is in the line, like clogs or stages, they also show the condition of the line itself, like rust or corrosion problems. Rudd wants to help your home run more efficiently, and the sewer and drain pipe camera is just one more way they are doing this.

Bulldog Jetter

Rudd utilizes The Bulldog 3518D Sewer Jetter, which employs a smaller machine that fits into tight spaces, but still boasts a powerful 4000psi 5 cylinder pump. It features a wireless remote control, pulsations options and anti-freeze circulation. With an optional ¼” hose we can clean out as small as a 2” line. Not to mention, the quick release hose reel allows the plumber to jet lines in extremely tight places, something standard jetters just can’t do.

Call Rudd the next time you have a stoppage or slow drain. We can clean your lines out and have them working properly once and for all. All of our technicians are specially trained in using The Bulldog 3518D, and will leave the work site cleaner than when they arrive.

This system is designed to secure various public and private locations such as job sites, parking lots, concert and event venues, community and school events, and even law enforcement stake outs. The system offers multiple camera option, including a full 360 Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera that can be operated at a laptop or desktop computer from a satellite location anywhere in the world via IP address. Since the cameras are wired directly to a DVR, all surveillance footage is secured immediately.

The alarm system features the option of utilizing the built-in siren that will scare away any intruders. The greatest concept of the Mobile Surveillance Unit is the fact that all of its features are powered using solar energy. This means that there is no hassle with running multiple extension cords or keeping fuel in a noisy generator.

Also, since it does not require outside power, there is no way that the cameras or alarm system can be turned off from an outside source. Rudd is capable of delivering the unit to your location, setting it up to fit your needs, and fully educating you on its proper operation.
