Jed Mechanical Contractors, Inc, is a plumbing contractor that has been in business since 1949. Mr. Robert DiPalma worked for Jed Mechanical as a master plumber for several years, until an opportunity to buy the company presented itself. In 1987, Mr. DiPalma became the owner and operator of a growing enterprise, which has since become a very diverse company which includes Lateral Liners, Inc., and Real Estate Holdings in BLSH ENTERPRISES, INC in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

Mr. DiPalma first got involved with cured-in-place pipe relining for lateral lines in 2001, in an effort to find a better way to repair deteriorating sewer lines without having to dig up the grounds, parking lots and sidewalks surrounding each project. As Jed Mechanical Contractors, Mr. DiPalma secured several significant pipe relining contracts working on Historic District properties designated as Virginia Landmarks and listed in the National Registry. It was while working on these projects that Mr. DiPalma perfected his Truly Trenchless technique of relining a sewer lateral through a clean-out, with absolutely no digging or trenching whatsoever. As word got out about the quality and expertise of this work, demand grew and Mr. DiPalma determined that a new business opportunity was presenting itself. Lateral Liners, Inc. was created to focus on developing opportunities for and refining the process of installing cured-in-place pipe for lateral lines, with Mr. DiPalma as owner and president.

Lateral Liners, Inc. has since rehabilitated over 650,000 feet of lateral sewer lines, focusing primarily on private market residential and commercial opportunities. While building a program focused on customer service, continuous process improvement and product development, Mr. DiPalma has developed several new products and techniques to reduce the time it takes to install a cured-in-place pipe, as well as significantly increasing the rate of successful installations.

After working with several manufacturers in the industry, Lateral Liners, Inc. began working with multiple suppliers for CIPP material and equipment. The products abilities and Lateral Liners unique installation process created the need for additional manufacturing, distributing, and training programs in this new ground breaking industry.
