TRENCH EXCAVATING
Secure, Reliable Water Supply Pipe Renewal
Are you suffering from low water pressure, recurring leaks, or concerns about lead contamination in your drinking water? The problem likely lies in your Supply Pipe—the underground pipe that connects your home to the main water network.
Why Choose Trench Excavation?
Trench excavation involves digging a channel from your property boundary to the entry point of your home, and while this requires more earthwork than trenchless methods, it remains the superior choice for many situations. It is particularly effective in complex ground conditions where heavy rubble prevents "moling," or in areas congested with other utilities, where the full visibility of an open trench ensures we avoid damaging gas or electric lines.
The Process:
What to Expect
To ensure a smooth replacement, we start by assessing the site and locating utilities before carefully excavating a trench with protective measures in place. We then replace your old lines with durable Blue MDPE pipe, flushing the system for safety upon connection. Finally, we backfill the trench and meticulously reinstate your garden or driveway to a high standard.
Did you know?
If you replace your lead supply pipe, your local water company is often required to replace the communication pipe connecting to the main for free under the Lead Replacement Scheme. We can help guide you through this process to ensure you get a completely lead-free connection from the street to your tap.
