Sewer Line Excavation & Repair Support Kelowna.
Excavation for Sewer Repairs Under Driveways and Landscaping
Sewer lines often run beneath lawns, gardens, walkways, patios or driveways. Accessing the pipe may require the removal of landscaping, gravel, asphalt, concrete or compacted base material.
TNT Kelowna can manage the excavation and restoration work surrounding the repair, including:
Proper backfilling and compaction help reduce future settlement, depressions and drainage problems after the sewer work is complete.
Sewer Line Trenching
We excavate trenches for sewer service repairs, replacements and new connections. Our operators work carefully around buildings, landscaping, driveways and existing underground services while maintaining safe access for the plumbing contractor.
Damaged Sewer Line Exposure
When a plumber identifies a damaged or collapsed section of sewer pipe, we excavate the affected area so the pipe can be inspected and repaired. Careful digging helps protect nearby utilities and limits unnecessary disturbance to the property.
New Sewer Service Excavation
We provide excavation support for new sewer service lines serving homes, additions, carriage houses, commercial buildings and property developments. Trenches are prepared to the required line, depth and working width based on the approved project specifications.
Pipe Bedding and Aggregate Supply
Proper bedding supports the sewer pipe and helps protect it from movement or concentrated pressure. We can supply and place appropriate sand, gravel, drain rock and other specified materials from our landscaping and aggregate supply division.
Spoil and Debris Removal
Our company-owned trucking fleet can remove excess soil, broken concrete, asphalt, old pipe and other permitted excavation debris. Keeping trucking and excavation under one contractor helps reduce delays and keeps the work area organized.
