Comprehensive Steam System Evaluations
Our Comprehensive Steam System Evaluations include a steam trap survey utilizing the latest Infrared (IR) and Ultrasonic technologies to accurately pinpoint steam trap failures and various other issues impacting your steam and condensate systems operation.
STEAMGARD will also provide technical troubleshooting and review the operating conditions of all the steam utilizing equipment and the auxiliary infrastructure to ensure the highest level of performance can be achieved and maintained. Our findings and recommendations will be submitted to you in a detailed report.
Steam Trap Replacement Projects & Commissioning
STEAMGARD's expert installation and retrofit teams of engineers, onsite field supervisors, and steam technicians are trained to ensure the highest quality installations with minimum operational interruptions.
If installation services are conducted by your maintenance personnel or outside contractors, STEAMGARD can provide personnel training and supervision, in addition to helping with commissioning the project.
As the work is being completed, STEAMGARD personnel will review the progress regularly to minimize your time for walkthroughs, punch lists, and final acceptance.
Our team is flexible. Services can be performed when it is least likely to have impact on day-to-day operations– nights, weekends, or even holidays.

TESTIMONIALS
“TRUE PROFESSIONALS WHO KNOW HOW TO GET THE JOB DONE. OUR PROBLEMS WITH MECHANICAL STEAM TRAPS CONTINUOUSLY FAILING, HIGH BACK PRESSURE IN THE CONDENSATE RETURN LINE, AND RECURRING WATER HAMMER WERE ALL RESOLVED AFTER STEAMGARD INSTALLED THEIR VENTURI TECHNOLOGY. WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON STEAMGARD FOR THEIR ENGINEERING SUPPORT AND TROUBLESHOOTING ABILITIES THROUGHOUT OUR FACILITIES."
FACILITIES MANAGER / UNITED STATES NAVY / EAST COAST
“AFTER CONVERTING OUR TRADITIONAL STEAM TRAPS TO STEAMGARD'S VENTURI STEAM TRAPS, WE HAVE REDUCED OUR STEAM CONSUMPTION BY OVER 10% AND ACHIEVED SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN MAINTENANCE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TESTING AND REPAIRING FAILED STEAM TRAPS - WHICH WE AVERAGED $40,000/YEAR IN REPAIR COSTS.
THESE VENTURI NOZZLE TRAPS ARE MORE DEPENDABLE AND EASIER TO MAINTAIN.
THIS RETROFIT PROJECT WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS."
