Frequently Asked Questions
Does excavation always include every surface task?
No universal scope should be assumed. Clarify the backfill, reinstatement and any separate finish work before authorizing the project.
Should I verify the pipe location by digging?
No. Leave investigation to the assessment and address utility locating before any excavation begins.
Can the work area be assumed from a standard trench size?
No. Pipe location, access and the repair determine the project area. The plan should reflect the actual site.
Why can a clean pipe still need repair?
Cleaning removes material but does not correct structural damage. A defect can remain even after an obstruction is cleared.
What should be explained about the affected section?
Ask where the concern is, how it was identified and why the proposed repair or replacement fits its extent.
