TRIC Tools, Inc. is a California C Corporation founded by inventors Robert and Ward Carter.  TRIC's lightweight and portable trenchless pipe replacement systems renew pipes with minimal, or in some instances, complete avoidance of digging and disruption to surrounding business activities.  The use of our technology provides a cost-effective alternative to the conventional open, cut, trench and replace methods.  The TRIC Tools solution is in use with a network of more than 400 plumbing and drain contractors in the United States and additional customers internationally.

The pioneering efforts of the Carters has resulted in the award of both device and method patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  Device and method patents have also been awarded to TRIC internationally in Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and New Zealand.  Patent applications are pending in Japan and Norway.
