Tunneling & Excavation in Houston & Texas City
When tunneling is required for under-slab plumbing replacement, excavation is typically necessary to safely access the plumbing system beneath the foundation. Rather than breaking through large sections of interior flooring, tunneling allows our team to excavate beneath the home and reach the damaged underground piping from underneath the slab.
During the project, we take precautions to help protect the home, foundation, and surrounding areas by using controlled excavation methods, proper tunneling practices, and coordinated plumbing repairs designed to minimize unnecessary damage. Depending on the scope of work and local jurisdiction requirements, permits, inspections, and engineering documentation may also be obtained to help ensure the work is completed properly and safely.
Once the underground plumbing replacement is complete, tunnels are properly backfilled and compacted as part of the restoration process.
Tunneling work requires careful planning, experience, and attention to detail. Our team takes every precaution possible to help minimize disruption to your property while safely accessing plumbing beneath the foundation. From excavation and permitting to underground repairs and backfill restoration, Buddy’s Plumbing manages the process from start to finish under the supervision of a Licensed Master Plumber.
