A CLOSER LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE

See How Video Inspection & Line Locating Works

A video camera allows us to see conditions inside the line, while line locating helps identify the route and location of the camera’s transmitter. Together, these tools help relate what we see underground to a specific location on the property, giving homeowners, general contractors, and project managers a clearer understanding of existing conditions.

NORWALK CHURCH · WATER SERVICE

320-Foot Underground Water Service Replacement

At a church property in Norwalk, we replaced approximately 320 feet of deteriorated galvanized water service supplying the rear building. Internal corrosion had restricted flow, reduced pressure, and contributed to clogged fixtures.

A new 1½-inch HDPE water service was installed using directional boring beneath the asphalt, with tracer wire and targeted access pits along the route. This approach minimized parking-lot excavation and disruption.

CUSTOM ANIMATED DEMONSTRATION

How Pneumatic Underground Boring Works

See the church and rear building, then follow the pneumatic torpedo, air hose, pulling rope, truck-assisted HDPE pull, and copper connections at both ends.

Watch the Animated Demonstration →

Pneumatic underground boring can also be used for water, gas, and some sewer installations.

PROJECT 01

Kitchen & laundry drain replacement

Line locating helped trace the laundry drain. We cleared the kitchen, saw-cut and opened the floor, and replaced the deteriorated cast-iron kitchen and laundry drainage with ABS. The removed cast iron had lost its bottom to corrosion.

OLETA · KITCHEN & LAUNDRY REMODEL

Oleta Kitchen & Laundry Remodel — Rough-In to Finished Plumbing

Existing laundry and kitchen plumbing removed for rebuilding, followed by new laundry, kitchen sink, refrigerator ice-maker, and range gas rough-ins. The 3/8-inch white tubing was routed to the ice-maker box for connection to the customer’s existing reverse-osmosis (RO) unit.

PROJECT 05

Kitchen and Bathroom Lavatory — Restoration Plumbing

Plumbing work completed as part of a kitchen and bathroom lavatory restoration. Leaking, cracked cleanout tees caused odors, mold, and rotted wood. Replacing the tees at the base of the piping assemblies required rebuilding the connected plumbing above them. Copper lavatory stub-outs with dings and gouges were also replaced.

HUNTINGTON BEACH

Huntington Beach Job

A reported gas smell led to identification of a leak at the old gas shutoff valve’s stem, where the operating lever attaches. A soap bubble test revealed the leak. The leaking valve was replaced with a brand-new red-handled gas shutoff valve. Photos and video document the leak testing and valve replacement.

FIREPLACE · UNDERGROUND GAS INSTALLATION

Fireplace gas-line installation

Underground gas piping installation through the yard from gas meter to fireplace.

FIRE PIT · GAS-LINE INSTALLATION & REPAIR

Fire pit gas-line installation and repair

The original gas line supplied the fire pit. While concrete pads with artificial turf between them were being formed, a form-board stake punctured the gas line approximately 22–24 inches below ground. An electronic gas sniffer located the leak, and excavation exposed the puncture. A soap bubble test showed escaping gas at the damaged spot. The line was repaired with a repair fitting and checked with a gas sniffer. The excavation was backfilled, lifted materials laid back in place, and the area cleaned. Artificial-turf repair was not part of the plumbing work.

PROJECT 08

Sewer camera inspection & line locating

Actual sewer video footage shows the condition inside the sewer pipe. Surface photos show where the sewer line runs, with white markings identifying the line location. We can also determine the depth of the sewer line if needed.

PROJECT 09

Costa Mesa — Sewer Camera Inspection

Sewer camera inspection and line locating at a Costa Mesa job. The camera is being pulled back from the city sewer tie-in. Surface photos document the street, sidewalk, yard, and cleanout locations associated with the inspection.

LONG BEACH

Long Beach

Complete sewer replacement from just outside the front of the house to the city sewer tie-in. The existing clay sewer was heavily root-infested, with roots growing inside the pipe and its fittings. Photos document the exposed clay piping, root intrusion and removed roots, excavation, and new sewer piping.

LONG BEACH

Sewage ejector installation at a property in Long Beach. The sewage ejector discharge line ran down the side yard and across the front of the driveway to tie into the main sewer. Project photos show the basin, discharge piping, trench routes, driveway work area, and the cleanout at the sewer tie-in.
