At Ehret, our professional line stopping techniques bypass and isolate specific sections within the distribution system for repairs, replacement of pipe, valves and hydrants. Normally, the flow stoppage can be accomplished in minutes, without main shutdowns or interruption of service.

Line stopping is the process of blocking flow through a designated segment of piping. This blocking allows for temporary shutoff and flow control to allow for pipe maintenance. The advantage of the process of line stopping is that we are able to bypass the area of maintenance and keep your services running without interruption.

We use a proven system for line stopping. Line stops are performed on carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, cast iron, ductile iron, transite/ACP, PVC, concrete cylinder pipe and more.
