Hydro Tunneling & Under Slab Repairs

Hydro Tunneling is a process of using a high pressure water jet in conjunction with a vacuum truck to loosen and remove the soil from around the broken pipes under the slab for replacement. The resulting tunnel allows our plumbers to gain quick access and perform the repairs in a safe and efficient manner. The new drain pipes are then secured to the slab structure with code approved stainless steel hangers. The benefit to the homeowner is less mess with quicker recovery.
