sewer repair

Underground drainage maintenance

Sewer repair is the work of fixing damaged or deteriorating underground pipes that carry wastewater away from buildings.

The term covers everything from patching small cracks to replacing entire sections of pipe: The city budgeted millions for sewer repair after the flooding.

Modern techniques like pipe lining allow sewer repair without digging up streets.
