Steam trap surveys
Failed traps waste steam and blow budgets. A survey catalogs every trap, identifies failures, and returns a prioritized repair list with payback. Use the steam trap savings calculator to size the opportunity at your plant before you call.

FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask
How much steam does a failed trap waste?+
A single failed-open trap on 100 psig steam can lose tens of thousands of pounds of steam per year. The exact figure depends on orifice size and pressure; our steam trap savings calculator gives a defensible estimate from your numbers.
Do you perform on-site trap surveys?+
Yes. We survey steam traps across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho with ultrasonic and temperature methods, and deliver a tagged failure report with repair priorities and payback figures.
