Water Line Replacement Calgary

The good news is that Fourwest Trenchless Water Solutions employees are experts at trenchless water line replacement and the most experienced Water Excavating Contractor in Calgary. This modern technique allows us to replace entire sections of underground pipe without digging up your garden or driveway with a huge trench, saving you time, money and stress.

Why Did My Water Line Break?

There are many factors that can lead to water line damage. Older pipes were made from older materials, at a time with different performance standards. Poly B, Copper and Pex can last for a long time, but the slow shift of the ground can crack and burst the pipe with pressure it was not expected to handle. Factors such as cold weather freezing water inside the pipe, in proper handling and installation and structures like garages and building foundations adding excess pressure can also contribute to the problem.

Water Line Replacement Without all the Digging

The trenchless repair technique only requires digging at either end of the section to be repaired, saving the patio, driveway, garden and land between the two spots. This can be important, as attempting an excavation repair may disturb other pipes in the area, leading to extra breaks and problems. Furthermore, as opposed to a weeks-long excavation process, the trenchless water line replacement can take one day!

How its done

Our professionals will insert a pipe cutting head into the damaged water line, which can even be extended to accommodate the installation of a wider pipe. The cutting head drags the replacement pipe behind it, sliding it into place as the old one is destroyed and pushed out of the way. And, almost surgically, your new pipe has been installed. All that is left is the clean up the minimal mess, and be on our way.
