This maintains a tidy appearance to neighbors and will help prevent accidents. Neat excavation will also help us to restore your landscape to its original state when the project is complete.
We know the importance of installing a sewer line properly. So we plan our projects carefully and only use the highest-quality materials. Our methods involve precise measuring, proper grading and rigorous testing to ensure your sewer line is strong, free-flowing and long-lasting.
After your sewer line is installed, we take extra measures to make sure your property looks neat. This means a proper backfill of your sewer line trench, moving displaced items back to their original locations and tidying up the general area so it looks the way it did before the installation, or at least as close as possible.
Since replacing a sewer line can be such an big project, most people prefer to service or repair their problematic line rather than replace it. We understand the cost of replacement can be too much for some households, so we do what we can to avoid it. When it comes to old cast iron, however, replacing the line as a whole can save money and stress in the long run.
Corroding cast iron can be terrible for carrying waste water away from your property. The inside of cast iron pipe and fittings develop a heavy rust coating that flakes and pulls away from the surface, which snags passing debris and will eventually cause a back up. It also makes it difficult or impossible to run a drain snake through the line for cleaning.
Roots below the ground surface are constantly in search of water, which can be found running through your sewer and drain lines. Despite the integrity of most piping materials, roots can find there way in through connection points and weak spots in the pipe. Cast iron is especially vulnerable to roots infestion because it corrodes and decays, leaving various weak spots, cracks and splits.
All underground piping can ctrack, split and collapse under pressure. But cast iron is notoious for developing large splits and collapsed walls. This is due to the corrodable nature of the material. Cast iron rusts over time to the point of compelete decay. If your cast iron sewer line is cracking, splitting or decaying in any way, it’s time to have it replaced.
Most plumbers and drain technicians know that servicing a cast iron drain line can be a challenge. When a sewer line is clogged, the correct response is to run a drain snake or jetter hose through the line to remove the foreign object. Unfortunately with cast iron, the rough inner-surface of the pipe prevents drain snakes from moving freely down the line. Also, using a drain snake or hydrojetter inside old cast iron can literally knock a hole or blast apart a section of the line.
