Inflow reduction technology
Stop paying to treat rainwater.
Reduce inflow at the cover. Vent safely.
The Innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solutions to reduce sanitary sewer overflow
What problems do sewer overflows create?
Different factors, including climate change, are placing increasing strain on sewer systems, leading to Combined Sewer Overflows, Sanitary Sewer Overflows, health risks, and infrastructure damage, resulting in costly long-term consequences.
Environmental & health
Stormwater entering sanitary sewers accelerates corrosion, increases energy demands, and raises safety risks for cities and neighborhoods.
Excess Stormwater Inflow
Heavy rain enters sanitary sewers through rings, covers, and pick holes, sending large volumes of clean rainwater into the system. This overloaded flow increases plant throughput, strains pumps, and destabilizes the collection network.
Corrosion, SSOs risk fines and headlines
H₂S gas corrodes pipes, frames, covers, and lift-station components. Aging infrastructure combined with wet-weather inflow accelerates deterioration and increases the frequency and cost of rehabilitation.
Sewer Gases
Maintaining proper airflow in sewer networks prevents hydrogen sulfide buildup, which creates foul odors, corrodes pipes, and increases maintenance needs.
High Treatment and Operating Costs
When rainwater enters the sanitary system, utilities pay to treat and pump water that should never be there. Treatment costs range from $2.80 to $22 per 1,000 gallons, driving up energy use, chemical use, and overall OPEX for municipalities.
Backups in homes
More than 500,000 sewer backups impact U.S. households every year, causing costly damage and major disruptions.
Our Solutions for Cities & Homeowners
Our technology provides solutions for both cities and homeowners, ensuring that excess water is kept out of the sewer system. For cities, this improves efficiency and reduces the risk of flooding, while for homeowners, it protects their infrastructure, saves on treatment costs, and helps safeguard the environment with Sewer Sentry.
Solution for Cities
Sewer Sentry replaces the standard manhole cover with a patented system that limits stormwater inflow into the sewer network while still allowing hydrogen sulfide gas to vent safely and helping protect infrastructure.
Solution for Homeowners
The Clever Cleanout acts as a relief valve on the main sewage line coming from your house, helping to prevent sewage backup into your home during blockages and heavy rainstorms while keeping the snakes and rodents out.
