Separate a Pipe Defect From a Blockage
A damaged or displaced pipe section can interrupt drainage even after material has been removed. Inspection can help establish the concern. Excavation may then provide access to the affected section, with the repair area determined by the actual findings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should permits be discussed before excavation?
Yes. Ask what requirements apply to the proposed work and how they will be handled. Do not assume every project has the same requirements.
Can I dig a small hole to help find the pipe?
Do not begin digging to investigate a suspected plumbing issue. Utility locating and safe access planning need to occur first.
What affects the area opened for excavation?
The pipe location, repair scope, depth and site access influence the work area. Ask the team to explain the proposed access for your project.
Why might drain clearing stop being enough?
Cleaning removes an obstruction but does not restore a broken or displaced pipe. Findings that show damage may support a repair instead.
Does a repeat backup prove the whole line needs replacement?
No. The location and extent of any defect must be assessed. The proposed work should reflect the findings.
