The most common way to repair or replace sewer lines is through trenching. Trench removal involves removing grass, dirt, and concrete/asphalt in order to expose the sewer line. We generally use an excavator, backhoe and concrete saw or other saws depending on what we run into, and in certain situations, we may have to hand dig it! The trench itself may be up 2 feet in height at times but can also go as deep as 25 feet if necessary for access reasons--a difficult task replacing a sewer or water main requiring heavy machinery like excavators and backhoes with cutting blades on them! In certain cases, however, it becomes important not just use these machines; sometimes you need your hands too so Drain Brain LLC of Denver provides customers with both options depending upon what kind of sewer line replacement job requires us to do? OSHA says that trenching is one of the most dangerous construction jobs due to potential cave-ins and of course the dangerous buried utilities that is precisely why Drain Brain LLC crew adheres to & follows the strictest safety procedures in the industry!

 

When repairing a Denver sewer line, it's important to use trench shoring and ensure that the area is properly protected. Trenching involves securing two metal plates on either side of your newly-repaired underground sewer line as dirt will not be able to go caving in due this protection provided by them Once the Denver sewer line has been properly trenched the Denver sewer line repair or sewer line replacement can take place; once complete we can install Schedule 40 PVC or SDR 35 pipes depending upon which one meets code for wherever in the Denver area you live - all without disrupting any other structures around us! Afterward, our team backfills these trenches with crushed granite material so there are no future problems. The material will keep the sewer line stable from shifting and causing damage in the future.


Drain Brain LLC will compact the dirt to prevent shifting or sinking. Drain Brain LLC of Denver will backfill with flow-fill a concrete substance that prevents over time sinking to prevent sink holes before patching up concrete.
