Water Distribution Systems,
It’s Our Specialty
We are a licensed, bonded, and fully insured utility pipeline company with over 50 years of combined experience. We specialize in the inspection, restoration, and servicing of utility infrastructures, including private fire hydrants, fire lines, water valves, and waterlines.
Facilities that forego having their hydrants inspected during the year are putting the facility in potential risk of catastrophic damage from a fire.
Years of Combined Experience
Repaired Fire Hydrants
Repair Over Replacement
Hydrants were made to last, but it can be difficult to find someone who knows the proper way to restore one. We not only repair broken hydrants, we also offer maintenance programs to prevent future issues.
What Can Cause Hydrant Malfunctions?
Lack of proper maintenance is a common cause of hydrant malfunction. Hydrants should be maintained once a year.
When hydrants are used in a fire sometimes the caps are put on too tight or they don’t lubricate them right. Those caps can seize up to the nozzles and then they’re hard to come off. Part of yearly maintenance is making sure they’re all operational.
How Often can a Malfunctioning Hydrant be Repaired?
In our experience, 95% of hydrants can be repaired. At Hydra, we have experience working on all varieties of hydrants, from many manufacturers.
Can a Plumber Repair a Fire Hydrant?
A plumber is limited to the scope of work they can perform. A plumber can work on underground pipes and they can work on pipelines inside the house, like your toilets. Working with public waterlines requires special training and certification to ensure the safety and viability of the water. At Hydra, we specialize in fire hydrant repair and exterior waterline systems and we are certified by the State of Arizona. Plumbers and other contractors don’t hold that certification.
Does a Working Hydrant Still Need a Maintenance Program?
Can Hydra Install a Fire Line?
We do install fire lines for new developments or new systems. We also do water main repairs.

“The service that David gave to me for my three properties was excellent. He advised me on the recommended inspection actions and then gave me options for the service.
This is great service, and I’d recommend Hydra Contracting to anyone in need of hydrant service, inspection and repair.”
