Hydro-Excavation to expose and replace sewer line
under historic building
The Problem: An old clay sewer line that ran beneath
a local tavern required replacement. Access to this line was very
difficult because there was no basement or even a crawl space under
this rear section of the historic building. This pipe needed to
be exposed, while at the same time a tunnel needed to be dug to
allow for replacement with updated PVC pipe. Hand digging this approx.
40ft section would be painstakingly slow and dangerous.
Sewer Tunnel
The Flex Services Solution: In less than a day,
this job was safely completed with our hydro-excavator. Because
we can excavate through small diameter hoses, we could attack the
tunnel from both outside the building but also from inside the basement
– setting up our hose through a small basement window. Working
in from both sides with our water spade plus extension wands, the
cracked sewer line was exposed and a tunnel created to allow for
a new pipe to be installed.
