David Groth Joins Electro Scan Inc. as Director of Sales

Electro Scan Inc. announced that David Groth has joined the Company as Director of Sales. David will be responsible for managing sales of the Company’s groundbreaking leak detection equipment and cloud applications, worldwide.

Groth will also be responsible for sales of the Company’s new water loss detection service business utilizing its patent-pending low voltage focused technology that finds leaks in water mains and irrigation pipes where utilities typically lose 10-30% of their water from undetected leaks.

“We are delighted to have David Groth join our team,” states Chuck Hansen, Electro Scan’s Chairman. “David’s background in pipe rehabilitation will be a great addition to our growing business.”

Groth comes to Electro Scan with over 20 years of experience in international sales most recently with Perma-Liner Industries LLC, a leading manufacturer of pipe lining systems.

“Electro Scan has a solid reputation for finding defects missed by legacy inspection methods,” states Groth. “I especially look forward to working with California water utilities and using our CriticalH2O cloud application in response to the severe drought conditions.”

As International Sales Director with Perma-Liner, Groth assisted municipalities, contractors, and commercial plumbers implement cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) systems around the world. Prior to Perma-Liner, Groth was a National Accounts Manger with R+L Carriers, Inc.

“David’s experience with lining companies will help expand the use of Electro Scan to certify pipe repairs and rehabilitation projects,” states Mark Grabowski, Electro Scan’s General Manager. “As one of the fastest growing companies in the pipe condition assessment market, we look forward to David’s help in growing our water services business, too.”

Electro Scan detects leaks in sewer, water, and gas pipes by automatically measuring the change in electric current able to pass through the wall of a pipe. Not requiring any manual coding by an operator or third party interpretation, Electro Scan conforms to ASTM F2550-13, is featured in the Seventh Edition of Volume 1, Operation & Maintenance of Wastewater Collection Systems, and included in US EPA consent decrees as an innovative condition assessment tool.
