Benefits of a Tunnel Job

Solutions for Long-Term Repairs

Tunneling allows full pipe replacement instead of temporary patchwork repairs, reducing recurring issues and providing a long-term solution to underground plumbing problems.

Correcting Plumbing Issues and Eliminating Backups

Tunneling allows direct access to damaged sewer lines, drain pipes, and water lines beneath the structure. This makes it possible to correct the plumbing issue at its source and eliminate recurring backups and drainage problems.

Protects Your Flooring and Foundation

Digging through the floor or concrete pathways can lead to more extensive restoration inside your property. Tunneling allows access beneath the foundations while keeping the exterior protected.

Reduces Property Damage

Conventional digging techniques tend to destroy landscaping, sidewalks, patios, or driveways. Tunneling reduces surface disruption and maintains the integrity of your property.

Underground Tunnel Access

Pipes are accessed through a carefully excavated tunnel beneath the structure, allowing precise repair or replacement with minimal surface disruption.

Our Tunneling Process

At Show Plumbing, we have a methodical approach to tunneling plumbing systems.

Inspection

The first step is to diagnose the source of the problem through effective use of state-of-the-art camera inspection equipment. These tools allow us to identify the exact location and cause of the issue, determine the safest access point for repair, and recommend the most effective and affordable solution that fully corrects the problem.

Tunneling

This is followed by creating the tunnel path accurately to make sure that the structure remains stable while excavating.

Pipe Repair/Replacement

Once access has been gained, the damaged sewer line, drain pipe, or water line is repaired or replaced based on its condition to provide a reliable long-term solution.

Backfill

Once the plumbing work is complete, the tunnel is properly backfilled. We also provide an engineer’s letter verifying that the backfill was completed correctly and that the foundation has not been compromised.

Tunneling for Sewer Line Repairs

There are some serious plumbing and structural concerns regarding fixing damaged sewer lines that are under a slab or a concrete foundation. Fortunately, it is easy for plumbers to access sewer lines by using tunnels without the need to break any concrete flooring.

We deal with:

• Burst sewer pipes
• Corroded sewer pipes
• Pipe bellies
• Split drain lines
• Sewer line repair
• Replacement of sewer lines

The immediate repair of damaged sewer pipes will save you from water wastage and sewage backups.

Tunneling for Water Line Repairs

Leakages that occur in underground pipes can result in increased water bills, reduced water pressure, and moisture problems around the property. With tunneling, the damaged pipes can be accessed for efficient repairs and replacement under the structure.

Show Plumbing’s team inspects the problem and determines the appropriate fix depending on the condition of the underground pipes.
