Excavation

When underground pipes fail, standard plumbing repairs simply aren't enough. Damaged sewer lines, broken water lines, and collapsed underground pipes require professional excavation to access, repair, or replace — and in Lakeland, FL, where Florida's sandy soil, mature tree roots, and shifting ground conditions create unique challenges for underground plumbing systems, having an experienced excavation team on the job makes all the difference. At 1-Tom-Plumber Lakeland, we provide professional excavation services in Lakeland, FL for both residential and commercial properties throughout Polk County, backed by licensed plumbers, specialized excavation equipment, and 24/7 availability to restore your underground plumbing system quickly and correctly.

Water Line

For those of us in the plumbing business, there are two types of underground pipes: water lines and main lines.

Water lines are what they sound like: they are pipes (or lines) that supply fresh water to your home or commercial property. There are different types of repairs for a broken water line, from pipe lining to spot repairs to partial or complete repairs. Before a repair or replacement is made, we strongly encourage you to have your pipes cleaned thoroughly for the best short- and long-term results.

A water line can break for many reasons, including:

  • Water pressure changes
  • Ground settling
  • Corrosion from soils
  • Tree roots
  • Frozen temperatures

No matter how your water line breaks, the plumbers you choose should have trench digging and underground water line repair experience, as well as the proper equipment — from video equipment to mini-excavators — to handle a large job such as this.

No matter how your water line breaks, the plumbers you choose should have trench digging and underground water line repair experience, as well as the proper equipment — from video equipment to mini-excavators — to handle a large job such as this.

The second type of underground pipe that we deal with is a main line, which is also commonly referred to as your sewer line. It’s the line that goes from your building (home or business) to your septic tank or city sewers.

A broken main line is a serious problem. In addition to the smell and sewage that will seep or flood into your property, the problem can back up into your residence and cause extreme water damage. This problem needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

As with water lines, there are different types of repairs that can be made: from pipe lining to spot repairs to partial or complete repair and replacement. Just as with water line repairs, we strongly recommend that you allow your plumber to clean your sewer line thoroughly for the best results.

A main line can break for these and many other reasons:

  • Water pressure changes
  • Ground settling
  • Corrosion from soils
  • Tree roots
  • Frozen temperatures

No matter how your main sewer line breaks, the plumbers you choose should have trench digging and underground main line repair and replacement experience. They also need experience using the proper equipment — from video equipment to mini-excavators — to handle a large job such as this.
