FAQ's about Leaks

Repairs range from a couple thousand to upwards of Ten thousand dollars dependent upon several factors. The depth of the pipe plays a huge part in a bid. If the pipe is below 5 feet deep a trench shoring system must be in place to protect personnel. This costs time and money. If the trench or repair is within a right of way then traffic control must be implemented and a permit to obstruct that traffic must be purchased. If the pipe goes under a curb or street then asphalt work and or concrete work must be completed, this also increases the cost. Trees or landscaping that are in the way must be dealt with also. Underground utilities will slow down the process of excavation so as to not disrupt the services. If these utilities are on private property then a private utility locater must be brought in to locate.
