In the New York sewer repair and sewer replacement industry Martin Arias is perhaps the most respected Field Supervisor. He is expert at overseeing all types of sub-surface plumbing installations including sewer repair, sewer replacement, manholes, catch basins, trench drains, and water main installations. In addition he provides his personal attention and expertise in training crew members on the exacting standards, policies, and code compliance that make a Balkan sewer and water main installation a high quality and long-lasting one.
Martin came to work at Joseph L. Balkan Inc. in 1987 after immigrating from Juarez, Mexico and with no knowledge of the sub-surface plumbing industry. But he did possess an intelligence, drive and determination to succeed. Starting out in the lowest position as a helper on a sewer crew, he steadily earned the respect of his piers and skills in performing sewer and water main installations. Soon he was a skilled backhoe operator, then a Crew Foremen. There came a time when Martin could perform literally any type of sewer and water main installation to easily meet NYC DEP or NYC DOB requirements and to the satisfaction of the Client.
As Balkan grew, with the help of Martin’s high quality installations, he was promoted to a Field Supervisor. In that way his expertise is available on all installations and to each sewer and water main crew. It is because of Field Supervisors like Martin Arias that Balkan is the trusted name in the New York sewer and water main industry. And why when it comes to sewer repair, sewer replacement, or any sub-surface installation people say ‘Balkan provides answers not excuses’.
