Sewer Problems That May Be Repairable
When damage is limited to one area and the surrounding sewer remains serviceable, a localized repair may correct the failure without replacing the entire route.
2
Utility-Boring Damage
Construction and utility boring can puncture, cross or crush a sewer. PD can locate the damage and replace the affected section.
3
Failed Joints, Transitions & Cleanouts
Separated joints, cracked fittings, damaged transitions and failed cleanouts can often be rebuilt without replacing the full sewer route.
4
Damage Under Concrete or Slabs
PD repairs qualifying sewer damage beneath slabs, driveways, sidewalks and foundation areas using the access method required by the project.
Localized Sewer Repairs PD Plumbing Performs
The repair scope is based on the actual failure, pipe material, access conditions and the condition of the surrounding sewer.
01
Spot Repairs & Short Sections
PD exposes and replaces the limited damaged section when the rest of the sewer remains suitable for continued use.
02
Joints, Fittings & Transitions
Repairs include separated joints, offsets, cracked fittings and transitions between clay, Orangeburg, cast iron and PVC.
03
Cleanouts, Taps & Laterals
PD installs and repairs bullnose and two-way cleanouts, sewer taps, septic laterals and septic-side sewer connections.
04
Traditional & Hydro Excavation
Traditional digging or hydro excavation may be used to reach the damaged area around utilities, structures, concrete and tight access points.
Repair or Full Replacement?
We Base the Recommendation on the Whole Line
A repair makes sense when the failure is limited and the surrounding sewer remains dependable. Replacement may be more appropriate when the line is failing in several areas, has widespread deterioration, cannot maintain grade or needs a new route.
Repair May Fit When
- One or a few damaged areas are identified
- The surrounding pipe remains serviceable
- Grade and route remain usable
- Targeted access can reach the failure
Replacement May Fit When
- Damage appears throughout the line
- Multiple sections are collapsed or deteriorated
- The sewer has major grade or route problems
- Repeated repairs would not provide a dependable result
How Our Sewer Line Repair Process Works
PD identifies the problem first, defines the repair limits and then opens only the access required for the planned repair.
1
Inspect & Locate
PD cameras the sewer, identifies the damaged section and locates its route and depth before excavation.
2
Clear the Line if Needed
When an active blockage prevents inspection or testing, the line may need to be cleaned before the repair is finalized.
3
Plan the Repair
PD defines the repair limits, access method, fittings, permits, inspections, utility locating and restoration scope.
4
Expose the Damaged Section
Traditional excavation or hydro excavation is used where appropriate to reach the failed pipe with targeted access.
5
Repair, Connect & Test
The damaged section, joint, fitting, transition, tap or cleanout is rebuilt and the sewer is tested for proper flow.
6
Camera, Inspect & Backfill
PD verifies the completed work, coordinates required inspections and returns the excavation to the rough-backfill condition included in the project scope.
