Underground Plumbing Repairs and Replacement

Once you’ve identified that there is an issue with your plumbing, a plumber can assess the cause. Pipes that have broken, collapsed, or cracked is a common problem, but other issues include blocked pipes, corroded pipes, and leaking joints.

At Plumb Works, we are a licensed plumbing company with nearly 30 years of experience in the industry and are extremely familiar with all aspects of underground pipe repairs. Our underground plumbing repair services include:

Burst Pipe Repair

Burst pipes are a headache at the best of times, and completely destructive at the worst of times. And unfortunately, burst pipes inside a home are much easier to detect than burst underground pipes. Some of the most common causes of burst pipes include: tree root penetration, freezing and thawing, shifting earth, rust, and low-quality materials. If you’ve noticed any signs of a burst underground pipe, Plumb Works can help you out with quick and efficient burst pipe repair services.

Water Service Line Replacement

Municipal water and sewer providers are constantly maintaining, repairing, and upgrading their infrastructure, but often leave the water and sewer lines that connect to homes and businesses untouched. Older homes likely have water service lines that are made of metal that is prone to corrosion, meaning that repairs will eventually not be enough to save them. When it’s time to replace your water service line, Plumb Works can provide you with quality service at a reasonable price.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Broken sewer lines are every homeowner's worst nightmare. An awful stench or backed up plumbing is typically a big warning sign that something is amiss with a sewer line. If you notice puddles in your lawn or notice your sinks and showers take longer to drain, that’s another sign you need a trusted plumbing service to come and inspect your sewer line. If a line has been broken, Plumb Works can repair it and get your home back in working order. Severe issues like ground shifting and corroded pipes may call for a sewer line replacement.

Gas Line Repair and Installation

Most people think that plumbers only handle water and sewer lines, but gas line repairs are often a part of a plumber’s services. At PlumbWorks, we have been repairing and installing gas lines for decades, and also perform gas leak detection services. If you notice hissing sounds from your gas line, unusual hikes in your utility bill, or low pressure from appliances that use gas, such as stoves, you need to contact a reputable plumber to inspect the lines and repair any leaks.

Repiping

Pipes in aging homes and businesses are a ticking time bomb. If your water bills are always increasing, your water pressure is low, or your water has a rusty or metallic taste, it’s time to look into repiping. While this service can be costly upfront, it can create greater savings in the long run by preventing large leaks and lowering your utility bills.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

Broken sewer lines are no longer the headache they used to be thanks to trenchless sewer line repair. This no-dig method means your yard won’t have to be completely disrupted in order for the line to be repaired.

Water Leak Detection

Leaks in underground plumbing can go for a long time without anyone noticing, especially under concrete. To detect pesky leaks before they become a major problem,

Plum Works can install a WaterCop PRO leak detection and automatic water shutoff system. This is installed on the main water line and will shut off the water when a leak is detected.

Hydrojetting

If your underground pipes are getting clogged up on a regular basis, your plumbing system could benefit from a hydrojetting services.
