Sewer and water lines
Problems involving sewer and water lines can lead to costly damage if they are not detected and addressed as quickly as possible.
Tree roots can clog or break pipes, and lines may also become blocked by waste flushed down toilets. Odors begin to rise, wastewater backs up into the basement or crawl space drain, and water drains more slowly.
In these situations, the pipes can often be unclogged using an auger or a high-pressure water jet.
However, if the pipe materials have deteriorated — such as rusted, cracked or broken pipes, or weakened joints — replacement becomes necessary.
Pipes may also have shifted due to soil movement, creating an insufficient slope and poor drainage performance. In that case, the system must be repositioned so the slope complies with standards.
The team at MAXIUM EXCAVATION offers sewer and potable water line repair, unclogging and replacement services. Our services are available for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional properties.
We locate the pipes and inspect them with a camera to determine whether they are clogged, rusted or broken by roots. To do so, we insert the camera through the sewer cleanout. We also verify whether the water pressure is adequate.
During replacement work, we connect the system to the municipal line and install a backwater valve, which is mandatory in many municipalities.
For potable water service line work, we can unclog or replace damaged pipes, install the shutoff valve and connect the system to the water meter. We also replace lead pipes, since lead is toxic even in very small quantities.
Finally, we backfill and compact the area before replanting grass or installing sod.
