At Helms Polyfoam, we take pride in our commitment to delivering effective solutions to complex
infrastructure challenges. Recently, we were called upon to address a high-flow leak in a wastewater treatment facility, and we’re thrilled to report a successful resolution. The facility, located in Lakeland, TN, was experiencing a significant leak in a 45-inch pipe, allowing approximately 15 gallons per minute of groundwater to infiltrate the system. This seemingly minor leak was resulting in the treatment of an excess of 600,000 gallons of unnecessary groundwater each month, posing efficiency and cost challenges for the facility.

With our expertise in pressure injection technology, we quickly mobilized our team to assess and address the situation. Utilizing our state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, we were able to precisely inject polyurethane foam into the affected areas, effectively sealing the leak and preventing further groundwater infiltration. The solution not only halted the flow of groundwater into the wastewater system but also provided long-term protection against future leaks, saving the facility valuable resources and operational costs.

At Helms Polyfoam, we understand the importance of efficient and sustainable wastewater
management, and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting the Lakeland, TN treatment facility in achieving its goals. As we continue to innovate and refine our techniques, we remain dedicated to providing reliable solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients and contribute to the improvement of infrastructure systems nationwide.
