Property conditions

The lateral should be diagnosed before it is repaired.

Driveways, landscaping and finished areas make the location of the defect important to the repair plan.

Diagnosis first

Locate the damage before choosing a method.

01

Inspect

A camera inspection helps identify whether the lateral has a localized defect or broader deterioration.

02

Explain

We explain the pipe condition, access and repair options before work is recommended.

03

Recommend

We recommend the next service only after the condition, access and property needs are clear.

Conventional repair may be appropriate for an accessible damaged section. CIPP rehabilitation or pipe bursting may be considered when the lateral and route support them.

The appropriate method follows the inspection, not a preselected technology.
