Our Underground Pipe Solutions
Precise Location & Diagnosis
Using electronic leak detection, line tracing equipment, and video camera inspection, we locate underground pipes and identify problems accurately—before any digging begins.
Traditional Excavation
When necessary, we excavate carefully to expose damaged pipes for repair or replacement. We:
-
Mark all utility locations
-
Minimize excavation areas
-
Use appropriate equipment for each situation
-
Protect surrounding landscape
-
Properly backfill and compact
-
Restore surface to original condition
Trenchless Technology
For many underground pipe problems, trenchless methods provide superior solutions:
-
Pipe lining – Repairs without excavation
-
Pipe bursting – Replaces pipes through small access pits
-
Directional boring – Installs new lines with minimal surface disruption
