  • With traditional excavation methods, technicians will break through the foundations, leaving you with more of a mess to clean up. With tunneling, slab plumbing repair is quicker, cleaner, and much less invasive. You’ll have less to clean up once the job is done, and it’ll be less disruptive to your life.

  • Scheduling under slab tunneling in Austin, TX, could be cheaper overall. You won’t need to pay for extensive renovations, and technicians will clean up once they’re done. It’s especially important if you’ve just spent a fortune renovating your home, and it means you won’t see your new flooring destroyed.

  • Commercial and residential plumbing tunneling might be less disruptive and cheaper in the long term, but that doesn’t make it any less effective. It’s an incredibly effective way of replacing damaged pipes and fixing pipe leaks under foundations and in other inaccessible parts of your home or business.

Our Plumbing Tunneling Process

Once you call us for tunneling services in Austin, TX, we’ll schedule a visit at a suitable time and then conduct an assessment. Our technicians will check the area, look for hidden leaks, and get a general idea of what they’re working with.

If they determine that tunneling is a suitable option, they will walk you through the process, provide a transparent quote, and then start work. Starting from the exterior, they’ll dig horizontal tunnels toward the leaking or damaged pipe. They can then use the tunnels to access the pipework before conducting a thorough repair.

After completing the repair, our technicians will backfill the area and ensure your foundations are properly restored. They will clean up after themselves before completing the job. If, for some reason, you’re not happy with the work, simply call us. We’ll return to put things right. We always abide by the Neighborly Done Right Promise®, which means we’re not done until you’re happy.

Is Tunneling Always Better Than Traditional Methods?

Neither option is necessarily better, as it depends on various factors, including the depth of the leak, the extent of the damage, your foundations, your flooring, and your budget. Tunneling tends to cost more money upfront than traditional methods. However, you will typically save more in the long term, as you will need less restoration work.

Tunneling is less messy and less noisy, which equates to less disruption for your home or business. However, it’s not as direct, so it may not be the best option for complex issues.

Both methods have their benefits, and after assessing the damage, we will discuss your options, highlight the pros and cons, and provide recommendations.
