Below, we’ll explore the benefits of preventative inspection, as well as CCTV evaluations. Read on to learn more.
Prevent To Protect

With ground water that contains salts and chemicals in contact with the pipe O.D., even the toughest of pipes begin to degrade over time. Using the right tools and a dedicated inspection schedule with a team like PICA’s, you can help mitigate such risks and ensure that your lines are safe and secure for the long term.
