Wastewater treatment infrastructure is built to operate around the clock, but much of its most critical equipment is hidden beneath the surface.
From baffle curtain systems and anchoring components to diffusers, piping, and structural hardware, underwater assets require routine inspection and maintenance to ensure reliable performance.
At JPS Industries, our certified dive teams provide professional underwater inspection, maintenance, and repair services designed specifically for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Our goal is simple: help customers maximize treatment efficiency, reduce costly downtime, and extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure.
Why Underwater Inspections Are Essential
Many problems within a lagoon system develop gradually and remain invisible during routine visual inspections from the shoreline. Small issues can eventually impact treatment efficiency, increase maintenance costs, or lead to unexpected system failures.
Common inspection objectives include:
- Evaluating the condition of baffle curtains
- Inspecting anchor systems and support hardware
- Identifying wear, damage, or material deterioration
- Checking alignment and positioning of installed systems
- Assessing structural conditions below the waterline
- Documenting equipment performance for maintenance planning
By identifying issues early, facilities can plan maintenance on their schedule rather than reacting to emergencies.
Protecting Your Investment
JPS baffle curtains are built to last. Using our patented manufacturing process featuring silicon-treated nylon stitching, many installations continue performing reliably for more than 20 years.
However, even the highest-quality equipment benefits from periodic inspection.
Environmental conditions, weather, biological growth, and years of operation can all affect underwater components. Scheduled maintenance helps preserve system performance while protecting the investment made in custom-engineered lagoon solutions.
Comprehensive Underwater Maintenance and Repairs
Inspection is only one part of maintaining a high-performing lagoon.
Our dive teams also perform underwater maintenance and repair services that help facilities avoid draining lagoons or interrupting operations whenever possible.
Services may include:
- Baffle curtain adjustments
- Hardware replacement
- Anchor inspections and repairs
- Component repositioning
- Damage assessments
- System modifications and upgrades
- Preventative maintenance services
Because JPS designs, manufactures, installs, and services its own systems, our technicians understand every aspect of the infrastructure they’re maintaining.

Reducing Downtime Through Preventative Maintenance
Unexpected downtime can be expensive.
Whether caused by equipment failure, reduced treatment efficiency, or emergency repairs, interruptions often affect operations, compliance, and maintenance budgets.
Routine underwater inspections help facilities:
- Detect developing issues early
- Improve operational reliability
- Extend equipment lifespan
- Reduce emergency repair costs
