Bob Frame Plumbing Services, Inc. has worked hard to gain a reputation as one of the leading providers of pipe cleaning services to cities and towns as well as industrial users. We use state-of-the-art equipment to solve problems big and small. Dependability is our hallmark.

Hydro Excavating

Hydro excavating using our Vac trucks is the safest way to uncover and repair subsurface sewer & water lines without damaging other utilities, such as phone, gas and power lines. The soil is removed through the use of a high pressured vacuum system from the Vac truck and deposited into a debris tank for later disposal. This allows us to locate lines faster and keeps the operators safer without damaging the surrounding infrastructure.

Key Benefits:

Safe excavation around fiber optic, water, and sewer lines.
Contains all debris without making a mess
Evacuates the water to minimize cave-ins
Removes debris from curb boxes without open cuts
No need for manned entry or probing for utilities
Pot-hole for utility location to save time

Televising

We offer our televising services for a multitude of beneficial reasons.

Televise to find defects in drainage systems underground, under a slab or behind walls
Televise to record new installs of storm and sanitary systems
Locate depth and location of sanitary and storm drain lines

After televising your pipe lines, the technician is able to report your results to you while still on site. The use of our televising equipment allows us to provide you with drain repair and replacement options before beginning the job. With our push camera, we can televise 2”-8” diameter pipe lines up to 200’ in length. Bob Frame Plumbing also provides televising services with our Crawler Camera located on our specialized camera truck. Our technician can televise 6”-36” diameter pipe lines up to 1,600’ in length. Both styles of cameras provide clear, color footage that can be recorded to a DVD or flash drive for the customer to keep.
