Repairs staged around operating hours
A failed sewer line under a commercial property closes restrooms, kitchens and tenant spaces until it is fixed. The repair itself may be a spot fix, a liner inside the existing pipe or a replaced run; what makes it a commercial job is that it has to happen without closing the business.
Capps scopes the repair from a camera survey, prices it in writing and stages the work around the property's hours, off-hours and overnight where the operation requires it.
What sewer line repair includes
From the survey to a line back in service.
- A camera survey to locate and scope the failure
- Spot repair, trenchless lining or replacement, whichever the line needs
- Excavation, shoring, utility protection and backfill where digging is required
- A final camera pass and a written record of the repair
What the appointment looks like
Survey and scope
The camera shows where and how the line has failed. The scope is written from that.
A written price and schedule
The cost and a schedule that fits the operation, off-hours where needed.
The repair
Trenchless where the pipe allows, excavation where it does not, with the site kept safe and open around the work.
Confirmed and documented
The camera confirms the repair and the record is delivered for your files.
Three situations cover most calls
Three situations cover most commercial sewer repairs.
A spot repair
One failed section opened, replaced and closed, with the rest of the line in service.
A lined run
A pipe intact enough to line: a new pipe cured inside the old, with minimal excavation.
A replaced run
A collapsed or deteriorated line replaced in an open trench, staged around the property.
