Valve rehabilitation and repair services are typically "in situ" and are performed without shutting down the pipeline which eliminates the costs associated with dewatering and service disruptions. Our technicians service water main valves of any size or type, and are trained to spot problems long before they endanger the reliability and safety of the water distribution system.

The experienced professionals at Wachs Water Services have over a decade of experience performing water main valve rehabilitation and repair, which offers a trusted and cost-effective approach for utilities seeking to maximize asset life at a fraction of the cost of total replacement. Water main valve rehabilitation costs are typically only 10-20% of the cost of a new replacement asset, yet the service life of a rehabilitated valve can often match the service life expected of a newly manufactured valve.

The operability of large valves is essential to control a water distribution system and large valves are expensive to replace.  Consider the related costs: excavation, old valve removal, new valve insertion, service disruption and traffic congestion.   Wachs Water Services can perform repairs and rehabilitation "in situ" and drastically reduce or defer the cost which utilities are required to make.
