Traditional Plumbing

Trenchless plumbing repairs are incredibly effective, but there are some complex jobs that we can’t complete without excavation.

Sewer system replacements, for example, will usually call for a combination of trenchless and traditional plumbing methods. Excavation is also necessary if water or sewer lines are being rerouted.

No matter the job, Accurate Leak and Line delivers traditional plumbing repair services that customers can rely on.

Why Might I Need Traditional Plumbing?

Traditional plumbing is also helpful if your system is on the older side. Homes that were built before 1980, as well as most commercial and industrial buildings, usually have cast iron, copper, or galvanized piping. Corrosion is a natural part of the aging process for these metal pipes, and corrosion will lead to leaks. In many cases, we’re able to seal leaks through noninvasive epoxy pipe relining or trenchless piping, but there will be times when traditional excavation is the best option.

Traditional Water Line Repair

With traditional water line repairs, we use excavation to expose the pipes on your property. Although excavation can leave quite a bit of cosmetic damage behind, we’re careful to keep our work area as clean as possible both during the job and after it’s completed. Because our crew is OSHA-certified, you can rest assured that all excavation is being done as safely and efficiently as possible.

We get a lot of questions about the excavation process involved in traditional water line repair and replacement. Although this does require more digging than trenchless repairs do, you can rest assured that we’ll complete the job with as little cosmetic damage as possible.

After we’ve made a preliminary diagnosis, we’ll map out the excavation. You’ll be presented with options to choose from, as well as fixed costs for each.

Our OSHA-certified crew members will expose faulty sewer lines with shovels and chipping hammers. In order to minimize damage to your property, our crew has received confined space training. Throughout the process, excess dirt is hauled away and work areas are kept tidy. Once the work is done, we’ll backfill the excavations with tamping hammers for maximum compaction.

During traditional water line repair and replacement, we might use:

  • External excavation, or tunneling from the outside
  • Interior access excavation, which includes jackhammer penetration of the slab or foundation
  • Exterior rerouting, where we reroute new lines outside of your property

We’ll let you know before we start working on which method is best for your situation.
