Infiltration and Inflow (I & I) Reduction Services

DMR is an industry leader in I & I reduction. We know better than anyone how to identify where the clear water is coming from in your sewer system. Our techniques fully leverage our vast array of equipment and skilled staff to find the exact sources of your water problem. We use the same equipment as everyone else but we apply them in a more effective ways. As anyone that has attempted to reduce I & I knows, mother nature is a formidable opponent - we use techniques developed over 20 years of doing this work and know how to get results for our clients.

The traditional approach to I & I reduction involves: CCTV inspection of main sewers and laterals, fog testing, dye testing and building drainage assessment. The difference is that we know how to get results where others may not get results. The tests and inspections are only small part of the solution. For example, fog testing is ineffective if you cannot see the tops of buildings - we go the extra mile and make sure that the fog has saturated the sewer pipes, and that we have a good vantage point to be able to observe properly. This is just one example of many where extra time and effort are required to get results - this is a major reason we recommend to clients that there procurement method for this type of work not be solely price driven.

If your thinking about embarking on an I & I reduction project - give us a call and we can help walk you around some of the common pitfalls that municipalities often run into. The last thing you want one year after starting an I & I project is for your service provider to hand you a big bill and say "yes we have confirmed your system leaks, but we are still not sure exactly where the leaks are".
