As you know, over time cast iron pipes can corrode, weaken, and ultimately fail. As you know, as well, the safest, permanent solution is a complete replacement of the sewer system. Bob Smith Tunneling is the leading expert in replacing these aging pipes, ensuring your customer's underground plumbing runs smoother and lasts longer.
The first phase in replacing your customer's cast iron pipelines involves tunneling. Unlike intrusive methods that destroy their floors, we excavate from the outside to safeguard their home's interior and slab integrity.
Bob Smith Tunneling uses an advanced hydro-excavation method to tunnel beneath the residence. Our state-of-the-art equipment merges high-pressure water with vacuum suction, facilitating swift and precise soil removal. Hydro-excavation precision allows our seasoned technicians unobstructed access to your customer's pipework.
At Bob Smith Tunneling, we are proud to utilize proprietary hydro-excavation machinery that's both efficient and environmentally responsible. Our system effectively separates soil from water, ensuring a safe and systematic disposal of materials.
Our commitment to tunneling prioritizes our dedication to preserving the home's integrity and structural essence, ensuring your customer's flooring stays pristine and interiors remain intact.
Following the conclusion of our precise tunneling process, we replace the compromised pipes. Re-piping is about giving your customer's sewer lines a fresh start by replacing the deteriorated and damaged cast iron with resilient PVC.
PVC has many advantages, like:
The re-piping process entails the removal of the old cast iron pipelines, installing connectors for the new PVC lines, supported by SS hangers that prevent rust to ensure proper pitch and prevent sagging for a permanent solution, and finalizing the installation with the PVC lines.
With Bob Smith Tunneling, you're fortifying your customer's sewer system for many years ahead.
The final phase of our pipe replacement process is backfilling. This essential step is critical to the integrity of a home's foundation. Proper backfilling restores excavated areas to their original, or often superior, condition.
Bob Smith Tunneling uses specialized techniques and cutting-edge equipment exclusively designed for this critical step. We choose premium crushed limestone for its capacity to yield optimal compaction, ensuring the strongest, most resilient, and safest base.
Other companies may use cement for backfilling, making it challenging to repair or replace pipes in the future. Or they use the same excavated soil to refill the trench, resulting in a poorly finished backfilling job with possible long-term compromises to the foundation. Bob Smith Tunneling only uses crushed limestone to backfill.
Restoring the excavated tunnel to its original state is paramount to guaranteeing a solid foundation beneath your customer's home. With Bob Smith Tunneling's unwavering precision and deep-seated commitment to excellence, you are assured of a fortified infrastructure, granting you peace of mind for the foreseeable future.
With Bob Smith Tunneling, your customer not just getting a service. They are investing in the sustained well-being and robustness of their residence's plumbing infrastructure.
