How Can We Replace or Repair Your Main Line?

Full Excavation

Over time, your pipes will deteriorate to the point that you need to replace the entire mainline system. It is often better to replace the whole line when you can as opposed to fixing bits and pieces as you go. Consider the fact that some homes in the San Diego area are more than a hundred years old, there is a good chance that you will have to replace them soon. Full Excavation will require:

Locating of all electrical and gas lines
Laying plywood to keep the yard in good shape
Blocking off the street if necessary
Pulling in Tractors to dig for the pipe
Brand new pipe
City Inspection
Putting the location back together

Each project will have a different time span as it is based on the location and needs of the job.

If your home is not that old and you are experiencing some of the symptoms above, you might only need a simple repair. This means your job requires no heavy digging or removing. A Simple Repair can include:
