A Completely New Way to Repair Valve Boxes
The Kerf Cutter is designed to save you labor costs and repair your valves without digging up your streets.
The Kerf Cutter was invented to solve a problem that all municipalities struggle with. Repairing valve boxes is a difficult process, requiring time, staff, and inefficient tools. Jeff built the Kerf Cutter to make the process more efficient while providing a solution that lasts.
Save time, save money, and save future costs of repairing valve boxes that break again and again.
JEFF BACKLUND, INVENTOR
Inventor and President
Jeff has always been very handy. He has been interested in mechanics since he was a kid, when he took his bikes apart to make modifications. He’s from a small town in Minnesota where life was slow and quiet, just right for a kid to be busy tinkering in the garage.
Jeff started HydroVerge in 2009 using his experience as a business consultant, general contractor and hydraulic tools representative. He knows how important quality products and great customer service are to the success of any business.

The Kerf Cutter is the latest innovation for municipal water and street departments to fix broken valve boxes. It is a handheld, electric tool with a circular blade on the end. It is inserted into the valve box and cuts off the top of the valve box.
Once that is removed, a new top can be inserted and leveled with the pavement. The new tool and updated process eliminates the need for closing busy streets for long periods of time, reducing traffic disruption and community frustration.
