Under Slab Repairs
Specialized hydro tunneling for sub-slab leak repairs minimizes property damage. We use high-pressure water excavation to access lines, followed by stainless steel reinforcement. Includes free $250 video inspection and insurance documentation assistance for covered losses.

High-pressure water jetting clears severe drain blockages in 3"+ lines. Effective for grease buildup in commercial kitchens and debris accumulation in storm drains. Our equipment breaks through solid obstructions where traditional cable methods fail.
