DiHydro

What DiHydro does

DiHydro Services, Inc. is a privately held specialty trade services company founded in 1939 and headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The company provides commercial building restoration and water quality services, focusing on corrosion control, pipe restoration, water system disinfection, lead and copper control, nitrogen pipe freezing, and a suite of technical services including borescope inspection, X-ray and ultrasound pipe assessment, water sampling and analysis, backflow preventer certification, and closed loop cleaning. DiHydro targets commercial building owners, facilities departments, and operations managers across the United States and Canada, with particular emphasis on high-risk facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and large apartment complexes.

The company's core technology centers on its NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified 20WC water treatment, which forms a thin protective film on pipe interiors to extend piping system life by 30+ years and prevent lead, copper, and zinc leaching. Its proprietary nitrogen pipe freezing capability uses custom-made aluminum jackets to freeze up to eight pipes simultaneously, enabling repairs and modifications without building shutdowns. Field service delivery is performed by licensed plumbers and trained technicians using specialized inspection equipment including borescope cameras, X-ray and ultrasound tools, and on-site water laboratory testing capability covering Legionella, lead, copper, PFAS, and other parameters.

DiHydro operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing scoped to specific pipe system requirements, work scope, and service category. The company goes to market through direct enterprise field sales targeting building owners, operations teams, and facilities departments, with services delivered regionally across the US and Canada from its Sterling Heights headquarters. The company is independently owned, with no disclosed outside investment, parent entity, or public funding events.

Products and services

• Corrosion Control - Water Treatment Program NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified 20WC water treatment program that protects and extends the operating life of copper, iron, galvanized steel, and brass piping by forming a thin protective film on pipe interiors, preventing lead and copper leaching, reducing water velocity wear and erosion, and stabilizing pipe surfaces. Delivered on-site by DiHydro technicians to commercial building owners and facilities departments.
• Pipe Restoration Corrosion control program that restores existing commercial piping at a fraction of the cost of replacement, controlling lead, copper, zinc, dezincification of brass piping, sealing pinhole and thread leaks, re-opening rust blocked lines, restoring fixture flow, and stopping red/brown water with little to no disruption to building operations. Targeted at building owners and facilities operators seeking long-term remediation without full repiping.
• Water System Disinfection Legionella bacteria treatment and prevention service for commercial potable hot and cold water distribution systems, including emergency disinfection programs, system flushing, chemical disinfection, and post-treatment sample testing to eliminate and prevent harmful bacteria contamination. Used by hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and large apartment complexes at highest risk for Legionella exposure.
• Lead & Copper Control - Corrosion Control Program Corrosion control program that minimizes lead and copper levels in drinking water without repiping by sealing the inner walls of commercial piping systems through a continuous, NSF-approved treatment that reduces bacteria and other contaminants while protecting the piping system from corrosion. Delivered to commercial clients seeking regulatory compliance and water safety improvements.
• Nitrogen Pipe Freezing Pipe freezing service that uses nitrogen and custom-made aluminum jackets to freeze sections of piping for repair or replacement without building shutdowns, applicable to pipes above or below ground, allowing maintenance without draining pipes or losing water or chemical volumes, and capable of freezing up to eight pipes simultaneously.
• Technical Services (Inspection, Testing, and Cleaning) Bundle of inspection, testing, and cleaning services for commercial piping systems, including borescope camera inspections with color monitor and video recording, non-invasive X-ray and ultrasound testing for pipe wall thickness and internal buildup, full water laboratory and engineering analysis (microbiological, metals, and contaminant testing), backflow preventer testing and certification, closed loop chemical cleaning with temporary side-stream filtration and 12–14 weeks of monitoring, and condenser water system tower cleaning.

Broad incumbents

• Pentair: Global water treatment and flow products company serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Comparable in commercial water-quality category but primarily a product manufacturer rather than a service provider.
• Xylem: Global water technology company providing pumps, treatment systems, and smart water infrastructure. Adjacent to DiHydro in commercial water-system technology, though Xylem is product-and-infrastructure focused versus DiHydro's on-site service model.
• Ecolab (Nalco Water): Global leader in water, hygiene, and infection-prevention solutions with deep commercial and industrial water-treatment programs. A scaled incumbent in the same broad market DiHydro serves at a regional level.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global water and wastewater treatment services and technology provider serving municipalities and industrial customers. Operates at a vastly larger scale than DiHydro but in overlapping water-treatment categories.
• Chem-Aqua (Nalco Water, an Ecolab company): Commercial and industrial water treatment programs including corrosion control, closed loop treatment, and Legionella control. Overlaps with DiHydro's corrosion-control and closed-loop-cleaning services but operates at significantly larger scale as part of Ecolab.
• Culligan International: Global water treatment company serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers with filtration, softening, and treatment services. Broader and more consumer-focused than DiHydro, but overlaps in commercial water treatment.

Direct peers

• Liquid Engineering Corporation: Provides potable water tank cleaning, inspection, and Legionella-prevention services for commercial and industrial sites. Closely comparable to DiHydro in on-site commercial water-system service delivery and regulatory compliance focus.
• Phigenics: Provides water management, Legionella risk management, and validation services for commercial buildings, healthcare, and hospitality. Comparable to DiHydro in Legionella prevention and high-risk facility focus.
• Nu Flow Technologies: Specializes in trenchless pipe restoration and epoxy lining for commercial and residential piping systems. Directly competes with DiHydro in the alternative-to-replacement pipe-restoration category.

Emerging players

• Special Pathogens Laboratory: Legionella testing, consulting, and water management for healthcare and commercial facilities. Comparable niche focus on Legionella compliance and high-risk institutional customers served by DiHydro.
