Duke’s Root Control and UIS join forces to enhance underground service offerings
(UI) — Duke’s Root Control Inc. has acquired Underground Infrastructure Services (UIS) of Livonia, Mich., marking a significant expansion of Duke’s wastewater and gas inspection and remediation services. The acquisition strengthens Duke’s position in the industry, enabling it to address broader environmental challenges.
“Duke’s is proud to deepen our presence in an attractive geographic area with unique capabilities and a broader toolbox of environmentally friendly services,” Matt Fishbune, CEO and president of Duke’s, said. “Duke’s is committed to being the leading partner to our customers for all their critical underground infrastructure service needs.”
UIS provides inspection and replacement services for underground utilities in the water, gas, cable, and electrical markets. With a dedicated fleet, expert operating technicians and state-of-the-art hydro excavation and drilling equipment, UIS has also built a specialty in the inspection and remediation of lead service lines through its ability to excavate in tight, sensitive areas using non-mechanical and non-destructive drilling methods.
UIS is Duke’s fifth acquisition in the last five years and takes the municipal wastewater management services leader into attractive adjacent markets such as clean drinking water delivery, an area of increased federal and state focus as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021.
Duke’s is a nationwide service provider that has been solving sewer system challenges for over 80 years. As the leader in chemical root control, Duke’s has treated over 400 million feet of sewer lines, with an experienced team of employees and over 1,500 active municipal and utility customers. In recent years, Duke’s has expanded its offering to include critical inspection and assessment services for underground infrastructure. Headquartered in Elgin, IL, Duke’s maintains service locations and capabilities across the country.
