PM’s can save down-time from emergency blockages, prevent contamination from backups resulting in Health Code Violations or even give piece of mind that there won’t be any surprises you haven’t budgeted.

Trenchless Pipe Replacement
Replace pipe underground without trenching, that’s unheard of, until now. Fred Hill Mechanical offers sewer, water, and gas pipe replacement without digging a long trench. Please see the following information and visit our links.
Explanation of Trench-less Technology
Pits are dug at both ends of the line and new piping is hydraulically pulled through the bad pipe breaking it away and replacing it with new. Lines can even be installed where none were before without disturbing the ground above.
Sewer Lines
Replace that broken or collapsed line without digging up the parking lot or disturbing mature landscaping. We pull a complete new line with new material making this option more appealing than major excavations or lining a bad pipe.
Water line
Want to get water to another part of your property but don’t want to dig up your parking lot, driveways or landscape? Fred Hill Mechanical can provide the solution using a verity of methods to bore and install your new line with minimal surface intrusion.

Clearing Stoppages & Cleaning
Fred Hill Mechanical uses a variety of methods to keep your drains flowing, our two most common are:
Cable Machines
Most blockages are caused by debris creating a damming effect in your drain lines. Roots and other items can find their way into your drains. Fred Hill Mechanical uses different sized cable machines to cut away these obstructions and provide you with a drain system you can count on.

Trenchless
Fred Hill Mechanical can replace most underground lines with minimal disturbance of the paving or landscape above. Please visit our Trenchless Pipe Replace section for more information on this new technology. Leaking or deteriorated supply services between the meter and building can be replaced with minimal excavation or damage to parking lots or landscape. See our section on Trenchless Pipe Replacements.
Excavation
In some circumstances digging is your only option. Fred Hill Mechanical has the experience, the manpower, and the equipment to accommodate any size project. We are area pioneers in tunneling and pipe bursting installations.
Slab Penetrations
Penetrating concrete slabs can turn into a nightmare if proper logistical planning is not done. Nothing is worse than the noise of jack hammers working in the background while you conduct phone business or dust settling on electronic equipment. Fred Hill Mechanical will explore all possible and reasonable solutions to prevent the noise (work at night), dust (put up dust protection), and debris (keep jobsite clean as we work) from damaging your business. There is no good way to penetrate a slab, so knowing your contractor is concerned with your well being will help insure that you don’t have additional costs associated with the repairs.

Leak Location & Testing
At Fred Hill Mechanical we have highly experienced Technicians that can test and locate your system using a variety of methods to quickly get you back in operation.

Repairs on gas systems can create many unforeseen circumstances. When gas systems are repaired or altered permits could possibly be required and possibly require that the entire system is brought up to current building code standards. Fred Hill Mechanical can deal with these issues and can explain what the requirements will be, thus keeping you aware of what will be required to complete the necessary repairs and keep you in compliance with City Building Codes.
Annual State Testing
Fred Hill Mechanical will gladly perform the required State Fuel Gas Testing so you can meet your Licensing Requirements. We will perform these tests in a time frame that will have the least impact on your facilities daily operational needs.
Grease & Other Interceptor Installation
Interceptors are required to prevent the introduction of substances that can cause drainage and treatment problems from entering the municipal system. Fred Hill Mechanical has experienced technicians to diagnose, recommend, and facilitate solutions to Interceptor related problems.
Grease Traps
Installation and maintenance are critical when it comes to Grease Traps. Fred Hill Mechanical can identify and remedy any problems that may arise from reconfiguration to maintenance programs.
Sand Traps
Area drains, carwashes, dock drains, etc., should drain into a sand trap. Solids are distributed to the bottom of the trap while the liquid will flow off at the top. We at Fred Hill Mechanical understand the configuration and operation of these traps and provide you with service requirements you will need to keep them functioning properly.
Oil Interceptors
Oil like grease will rise to the top of water and therefore the traps are designed to take the water away from the middle of the trap to leave the oil floating and the solids at the bottom. These traps are used in garages and manufacturing facilities. Fred Hill Mechanical has experience with these systems and can make the necessary repairs and maintenance recommendations to keep them operating properly.
Lint Traps
Commercial laundries and Laundry Mats must have some type of Lint Interceptor to prevent the debris from reaching the city sewer. Maintaining and cleaning of the trap and drain line is essential to good operation. Fred Hill Mechanical can design a program to maintain your trap in good working order.
Monitoring Stations
Many municipalities are now requiring monitoring wells on the down stream side of an Interceptor. Proper maintenance and installation of these monitoring wells is just as important as the maintenance of the Interceptor. High reading or false high reading from dirty wells can produce expensive citations. Fred Hill Mechanical wants to minimize your exposure by putting together a program to maintain your Interceptor and Monitoring Station needs.
Pump Repair & Installation
Pumps are an integral part of a lot of Commercial and Industrial Plumbing systems. Fred Hill Mechanical has the knowledge and experience to work with all types of pump systems; sewage, sump, fresh water booster, and equipment to name a few.
Sump Pumps
Removal of ground water and sewage from lower elevations can cause severe damage if the pumps are not operational. Fred Hill Mechanical has the equipment to service and install sump pump systems to keep you operational and dry.
Lift Stations
In design and construction the city sewers may not always be accessible by gravity flow. For those situations a sewage lift station is required. Fred Hill Mechanical can maintain and service these systems with experienced trained technicians and keep you flowing.
Potable Water
Municipal water pressure is adequate for most installations up to 4 stories. When you construct buildings in excess of this potable water must be pushed to the top by means of a pump system. Understanding the science and technology associated with this procedure is part of what Fred Hill Mechanical can provide to you.
