Excavation Services

When a water or main line breaks, you will need an experienced excavation crew.

A broken water line or main (sewer) line is no joke. These pipes are larger and mostly located underground, meaning an experienced excavation team is required to fix the problem. Most property owners don’t have the skill or equipment to resolve the matter themselves.

The first step is to use special camera equipment to locate the break. Our operator then uses a mini-excavator to dig a trench around the pipe. This gives them room to repair or replace the pipe. If there is minimal damage, the pipe can sometimes be relined. Most important, make sure your plumber has an experienced excavation crew and the right equipment to handle the job quickly and efficiently. 

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. At 1-Tom-Plumber, we can provide those services for you.
