Excavation for Sewer Lines in Cincinnati, OH

Flooding, excess water flow and tree roots are common causes for problems to commercial and residential sewage systems. When a sewer line needs to be replaced or needs repair work, your friends at Five Star Cincinnati Plumbing are here to help. Below are 4 popular methods of excavation:

Sewage Line Trenching

With sewerage lines being located at least a couple of feet below the surface of the ground, the most common method for sewer line repair involves using a backhoe to dig a trench surrounding the line to allow access to the affected area to repair burying the line again. Once we fix the line, we at Five Star Cincinnati Plumbing use the backhoe to refill the area as professionally as possible to restore your land. Trenching may be the only option depending on the pipe configuration or where you live.

Water Line Repair, Installation & Replacement

Water mains typically last more than 50 years for commercial and residential properties. However, some might have a weak leak and need water line repair work sooner. This can cause a significant headache at best. At worst, it can cause extensive flood damage. Suppose water main has broken in your residential or commercial property. In that case, you want to find a licensed and insured professional to repair the water line problem as soon as possible. We can handle all types of pipeline excavation services when it comes to new or old homes or buildings.

Trenchless Sewage Line Repair

Depending on your pipes, we might be able to make trenchless repairs by installing small access holes where the damaged line begins and where it ends instead of digging up an entire trench. We insert the replacement pipe by pulling it through the existing damaged pipe. Trenchless repairs are prevalent and can be done much quicker. They also cause minimal damage to yards and driveways compared to traditional underground pipe repair methods because only the dirt at the beginning and end of the line is disturbed.

Gas Line Installation & Repair

Plumbing tasks dealing with gas lines requires expert skills. Gas lines should be installed and repaired with utmost caution since any leakage can be hazardous and might lead to serious health problems. Unlike minor plumbing repair work, extreme caution should be exercised when handling any tasks related to the plumbing of gas lines.

  • Installation of new gas lines – Equipment and appliances like dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, grills and other cooking devices are often powered by gas from an underground line. We use quality gas line products to guarantee your new lines are safely installed into your new devices and they last as long as possible.
  • Replacement of old gas lines – If you’re concerned about the gas lines running to your home and would like the lines checked and replaced with new ones, give us a call. We can provide high-quality gas line replacement at affordable price rates to ensure your home is safe and your gas lines are in optimal condition.
