Fire hydrant repair services: how it works
We offer or can coordinate fire hydrant repair services from manufacturer-certified hydrant repair specialists. We can support the following types of maintenance where hydrant repair services are offered:
- Replace worn gaskets and parts. We will inspect the hydrant components for signs of deterioration and replace any parts as needed. Our inventory of replacement parts and expansive vendor alignments allows us to quickly fix the hydrant with brand new components.
- Lubricate the operating nut and stem. To prevent seizing, stripping and binding, our hydrant repair team can be deployed to perform on-site lubrication of the hydrant valve stem. We use approved NSF-61 lubricants to keep the hydrant components moving smoothly.
- Repair leaking hydrants. If a hydrant has sprung a leak, we’re able to isolate the leak’s exact location and repair it promptly to minimize water waste.
- Sandblast and paint hydrants in place. We’ll first remove old paint with a sandblaster and then repaint the hydrant with a primer and a fresh coat of paint. We can perform this all in place without the hassle of having to remove the hydrant from its fixed location.
- Lower or raise the breakoff flanges. A hydrant that is installed to the proper depth is important to its function during an accident. As ground levels surrounding a fire hydrant change due to road widening, site work or landscaping, it’s important to make sure the hydrant’s height is adjusted to compensate for these changes. Our hydrant repair team will ensure safety by lowering or raising the hydrant to the appropriate height.
