WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
"We want to thank you for assisting us! I found your website on the internet, contacted you by e-mail and received a call within 24 hours from Greg Abbott. Now that is great customer service! You listened to my problem and were able to refer us to Jerry Fannin of Bio Remedies in El Paso, Texas. We contacted Bio Remedies and again, were immediately assisted. The problem was remedied immediately. The technicians, Joe Ortega and Aaron were very professional, pleasant and worked with diligence.We cannot thank you enough for the relief we felt after Bio Remedies took care of the sewer problem we were having. We have also contacted Jerry Fannin and thanked him but wanted you to know that the results were excellent!"

TRIC Tools, Inc., founded in 1996 by inventors Robert and Ward Carter, is a California C Corporation headquartered in Alameda, California. Today, TRIC Tools is an infrastructure and environmental technology company that designs, produces and sells proprietary tools and systems for the "non-invasive" rehabilitation and replacement of sewer, water, gas and other difficult to access underground pipes.
TRIC's lightweight and portable trenchless pipe replacement systems renew pipes with minimal, or in some instances, complete avoidance of digging and disruption to surrounding business activities. The use of our technology provides an cost effective alternative to the conventional open cut, trench and replace methods. The TRIC Tools solution is in use with a network of more than 400 plumbing and drain contractors in the United States and additional customers internationally.
The pioneering efforts of the Carter's has resulted in the award of both device and method patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
