Valve Box Maintenance

What This Service Involves

Buried and paved-over valve boxes cost crews critical time during main breaks and routine operations. Our crews locate valve boxes, clear debris and obstructions, and adjust lids and risers to proper grade with the surrounding surface. We repair or replace damaged boxes and lids so operators have reliable, immediate access. Completed work is logged against your valve inventory for asset-management records.

What Affects the Cost

Best Time of Year
