Emergency Water line repair.
A little goes a long way. Sometimes being off too much one way or another can cause a failure, and usually at unexpected times; weekends, nighttime, storms, etc.
Due to a massisve water leak, we responded immediately to discover a blowout from around the well head (figure 1 & 2). Upon investigation, it was discovered that some settling and the pitless adapter not being level (figure 4 & 5) caused the connection, the male adapter, to crack (figure 3 & 7). We replaced the section of pvc pipe with a stainless steel pipe for strength, then secured with a mecanical connection, which allows for up to a 4° swing, allowing for any future movement. After cleaning out all the loose material and mud from the excavation site, we shored up the line with clean crushed stone, in an effort to prevent settling. Finally we backfilled and restored all disturbed areas.
Remember to call us for all your excavating needs!
