We need to know what we’re dealing with before we get to work, so we begin every job with a thorough inspection using high-tech cameras. After assessing the state of the pipes and diagnosing the issue, our technicians will plan a safe excavation, using targeted digging to minimize damage.
They will then repair or replace the pipes as needed, before checking functionality and restoring the site. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and cleanliness, and our technicians will never leave a job unfinished, nor will they leave a mess. However, if you are unhappy with the work for whatever reason, our Neighborly Done Right Promise® means we’ll always return to put things right.
Types of Sewer Lines We Replace
We can replace and repair all types of pipes and have worked with various sewer systems across Virginia Beach:
- Clay or terracotta pipes: Durable and chemically stable, clay/terracotta pipes have issues with root intrusions, leading to frequent blockages and cracking.
- Cast iron sewer lines: Although strong and structurally sound, cast iron pipes are susceptible to rust, and they can corrode and collapse over time.
- Orangeburg piping: Often seen in homes built before the 1970s, Orangeburg is notorious for root intrusions and rarely lasts beyond 50 years.
- PVC sewer systems: PVC pipes are lightweight and durable, with a projected lifespan well over 50 years. We can install, repair, and replace these pipes as needed.
- Aging or improperly installed sewer lines: The average Virginia Beach home is over 40 years old, and if the sewer pipes have not been properly maintained or replaced in that time, they may be nearing the end of their lifecycle.
Protecting Your Property During Excavation
We dig and replace sewer lines using a targeted and specialized approach that minimizes property damage while protecting sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. We use proper compaction and grading, and our painstaking approach means we’ll plan everything, communicate our findings with the customer, and always clean up when we’ve finished.
