Innovative Underground Infrastructure Services for Indiana Municipalities, Agencies, and Utilities
In Indiana, maintaining the health of sewer systems is vital for public safety and infrastructure longevity.
Duke's provides the necessary sewer solutions to ensure underground infrastructure in Indiana's largest cities receives the maintenance it needs. This maintenance includes an array of preventative and reparative services performed throughout cities like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Carmel, Bloomington, Fishers, South Bend, Noblesville, Terre Haute, and Mishawaka. The diverse and unique urban landscapes of Indiana each require tailored services with varying regularity: Indianapolis, as Indiana's most populous city, might benefit from frequent sewer inspections and cleanings, while a city with aging infrastructure, such as Kokomo, might often face the persistent challenge of root intrusions in underground utility pipes.
From performing cleanings with the aid of CCTV to inspecting manholes and providing CIPP spot repairs to rehabilitate pipelines, the regular upkeep of pipes, sewer lines, and other utilities is essential—and it's best done by the experts. With decades of experience in the sewer industry utilizing cutting-edge technological innovations and a highly skilled team of professionals, Duke's can provide Indiana with the best solutions to cost-effectively maintain the health of underground infrastructure and avoid expensive emergencies. Our tailored solutions can help Indiana municipalities stay ahead of maintenance challenges, reduce costs, and protect public health.






Available Services for Indiana
While Duke's remains the leader in chemical root control, we also offer a variety of other services to help prolong the life of underground infrastructure. These include critical inspection services, cleaning, testing, mapping, and more—all working to benefit the cities and citizens of Indiana.
Roots can cause big, expensive problems for pipes and the best course of action is always preventative care. You need a team that can implement a root control program that minimizes damage, disruption, and costs while preventing roots from quick regrowth to cause problems yet again. Duke's can provide a chemical/herbicide solution to problematic roots throughout cities where we operate in Michigan.
Traditional models may only detect inflow and infiltration (I&I) over large areas, but Duke’s employs advanced micro-detection technologies and algorithms to pinpoint the specific line segments causing excess I&I within a basin, down to the street level, improving both speed and precision. Get our I&I Micro Detection services throughout Michigan.
Inspections of entire collection systems are crucial in preventing sewer backups and minimizing potential (and expensive) damage, but these inspections can be expensive themselves. Acoustic pipeline inspections are faster and more cost effective solutions we offer in cities throughout Michigan, ensuring efficient and effective results.
Municipalities in Michigan can mitigate risk, service disruptions, expensive repairs, and safety problems by inspecting for current cross-bores and implementing ways to prevent future ones. Duke’s provides cross-bore inspection services that include pre- and post-inspection data to ensure you have all the necessary knowledge and cross-bores don’t become a costly problem.
Regular CCTV inspections and cleaning are essential tools for identifying weaknesses and ensuring the reliability of sewer lines. Duke’s uses advanced camera systems to visually assess the interior condition of sewer pipes and detect cracks or structural defects, root intrusions, blockages, and signs of inflow and infiltration. Enhance your sewer system’s reliability with expert CCTV inspections and cleaning services throughout Michigan.
Using 360-degree camera technology, Duke’s can provide manhole inspection services to cities in Michigan and ensure up-to-date, accurate information regarding the integrity and functionality of wastewater systems and infrastructure. Prevent costly treatment after the fact by addressing potential inflow and infiltration issues before they happen with regular inspections.
A common method for detecting leaks or cracks in sewer system pipes, Duke’s performs smoke & dye testing with non-toxic smoke and documents results with GPS. It’s a simple but highly effective method of assessing the overall integrity of the wastewater infrastructure that Duke’s offers to cities throughout Michigan.
This method for exposing underground utilities is growing more and more popular for its safety, precision, environmental considerations, and overall efficiency. For locations in Michigan, Duke’s can provide hydro-excavation services that ensure a cost-effective, efficient, and safe excavation with minimal disruption to traffic, pedestrian flow, and nearby businesses and residents.
