Fire Hydrant Installation and Maintenance
Fire Hydrant Experts
Cutting Edge Projects initially began as a fire hydrant maintenance company. We have since grown and now provide many more services but still consider fire hydrants to be our “bread and butter.” We not only provide maintenance on hydrants but have extensive experience installing new fire hydrants in water systems and ensure they are correctly and safely completed the first time.

Insurance Inspection Report
A vital part of either inspection service is the inspection report. We pride ourselves on our complete and comprehensive inspection report that we provide with each and every hydrant inspection. This documentation is critical for clients to present to their insurance providers to not only allow for insurance provision but to receive discounts on their premiums.
