At Snakes on a Drain, we are accustomed to large scale public sector water, sewer and drain main excavations including laterals to house connections but have only just recently adapted our skill set to accommodate smaller (but no less important) residential digs beyond public/private property lines. We specialize in fixing house connections from property line to foundation but have access to ticketed plumbers so we may help you with your pipe problems all the way to the bathroom sink. We promise to never break ground without a camera inspection to accurately locate the problem and will access the situation while keeping you, the homeowner, informed of every step.
STEP 1: INVESTIGATION and ESTIMATION
Using a state-of-the-art, Canadian made HD pipeline inspection camera I am able to quickly find your underground problem and, using a transponder, locate its exact location and depth on your property within inches. This allows for an excavation of surgical precision often eliminating the need for costly excavation equipment and unnecessary pipeline replacement. With my camera’s built-in wifi capability, you can even watch the inspection in realtime using your tablet, smartphone or tv from the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to get your boots mucky! I provide a complete price breakdown and efficient timeline.
STEP 2: EXCAVATION
At Snakes on a Drain, no job is too big or small. If the excavation exceeds what can be accomplished with shovels alone we have Hydro excavators on standby to safely remove and excavate to locate problem areas. All our digs adhere to the highest safety standards using BC One Call and we have our own certified locators to find, mark and expose conflicting utilities (gas, water, etc) to avoid unpleasant surprises on excavation day.
STEP 3: REPAIR
We use the only the best quality parts our industry has to offer for all our repair work and promise to never use sub-standard materials. Every length of pipe is carefully laid to grade, checked at least twice and bedded properly so you can be assured of its reliability generations to come. Before and after camera inspections come standard so you can see the difference in effectiveness of your new drain/sewer system with your own eyes.
STEP 4: Replace
The final and most important step after the repairs are completed is to get your property back to the original state. We pride ourselves in taking the extra effort to make your house look great.
