Fire Hydrant Installation Service

If you need a new hydrant installed, we have 20+ years of experience and all the heavy equipment necessary for the installation.

Fire Hydrant Repair Service

Fire hydrants may be sturdy, but eventually they need repair. We provide the following hydrant repair services:

  • Replace worn gaskets and parts. After we inspect hydrant components for signs of deterioration, we’ll replace parts as needed. Our vast inventory of replacement parts and vendor connections allows us to quickly fix the hydrant with brand new components.
  • Lubricate the operating nut and stem. To prevent seizing, stripping and binding, our hydrant repair team performs on-site lubrication of the hydrant valve stem, using approved lubricants.
  • Repair leaking hydrants. After we isolate the leak’s exact location, we repair the leak right away to minimize water waste.
  • Sandblast and paint hydrants in place. After removing old paint with a sandblaster, we repaint the hydrant with a primer and a fresh coat of paint on site.
  • Lower or raise the breakoff flanges. A hydrant that is installed to the proper depth is important to its function during an accident. As ground levels surrounding a fire hydrant change due to road widening, site work or landscaping, it’s important to make sure the hydrant’s height is adjusted to compensate for these changes. Our hydrant repair team will ensure safety by lowering or raising the hydrant to the appropriate height.
