Available Services for California
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 California.
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.
A comprehensive approach to pipeline inspection is the best way to ensure that potentially expensive and disastrous problems aren’t brewing in a city’s pipe system. For the municipalities in Michigan where we operate, Duke’s can apply multiple inspection techniques to obtain a thoroughly accurate assessment of a pipeline’s condition and ensure nothing gets overlooked.
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.
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.
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.
Our Role in Communities Around California
At Duke’s, we are committed to staying at the forefront of underground infrastructure solutions by actively participating in leading industry associations, tradeshows, and conferences across California. Our involvement allows us to collaborate with municipal leaders, utility managers, and engineers to share innovative strategies for sewer system maintenance and root intrusion prevention. Through these events and real-world case studies, we showcase proven results, highlight industry best practices, and demonstrate how our services—including root control, CCTV inspections, and inflow & infiltration mitigation—help municipalities extend the life of their underground assets. Explore our latest industry engagements and success stories to see how Duke’s is making an impact across California.
Water Wise Pro: Maintenance & Construction Expo
Duke's proudly participates in the Water Wise Pro: Maintenance & Construction Expo, recognizing its value as a focused event connecting professionals involved in the practical aspects of water and wastewater infrastructure upkeep and development. This expo provides an excellent opportunity for Duke's to engage directly with maintenance crews, contractors, and utility managers seeking hands-on solutions for challenges like root intrusion in sewer systems. By showcasing our effective root control technologies, durable application methods, and inspection services relevant to both maintenance and new construction projects, Duke's aims to equip Water Wise Pro attendees with the knowledge and tools to ensure the long-term integrity and efficiency of their underground assets.
CWEA Annual Conference
Duke's is a committed participant in the California Water Environment Association (CWEA) Annual Conference, recognizing its importance as the premier event for California's wastewater professionals. This conference offers an invaluable opportunity for Duke's to connect with operators, engineers, managers, and regulatory experts, sharing our specialized expertise in addressing the critical challenges of root intrusion and inflow & infiltration within wastewater collection systems, issues particularly relevant in California's diverse environments. By actively engaging in technical sessions, exhibiting our proven root control technologies and inspection services, and fostering conversations about best practices and innovative solutions, Duke's aims to collaborate with California's wastewater community to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and longevity of their essential infrastructure, ultimately contributing to the protection of California's precious water resources.
Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention and Stormwater Conference
Duke's recognizes the critical importance of holistic water quality management and actively participates in the Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention and Stormwater Conference. This conference provides a valuable platform for Duke's to connect with environmental engineers, industrial pretreatment professionals, and stormwater management experts, emphasizing the interconnectedness of wastewater collection and overall water quality. By sharing our expertise in controlling root intrusion and mitigating inflow & infiltration in sewer systems, Duke's highlights how maintaining the integrity of wastewater infrastructure directly contributes to pollution prevention and reduces the burden on treatment facilities and stormwater systems. We engage in discussions on best practices and innovative solutions, underscoring how proactive management of collection systems plays a vital role in safeguarding our waterways and supporting the broader goals of pretreatment and stormwater management initiatives.
