Common Questions About Underground Repairs
How do I know if I need underground stormwater repairs?
Common signs include persistent pooling or flooding in certain areas, gurgling or slow drains during storms, and visible sinkholes or depressions in the ground above stormwater lines. In some cases, you may notice foul odors or erosion near the foundation. Because underground damage is not always visible, professional inspections using camera systems are the most reliable way to confirm the need for repairs.
What causes underground stormwater systems to fail?
Failures often stem from age-related wear, joint separations caused by soil shifting, or pipe damage from construction activity and heavy equipment. Root intrusion is another common issue, especially in older systems, as roots seek out water sources and infiltrate joints. In Philadelphia, freeze-thaw cycles can also crack buried infrastructure over time.
How long do underground stormwater repairs take?
For straightforward repairs, such as replacing a small pipe section, the process can be finished in a single day. Larger projects that involve deep excavation, multiple repair points, or severe structural damage will naturally take longer, often up to a week. We work efficiently while ensuring all work meets compliance standards.
How do underground repairs help with stormwater compliance in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia’s stormwater regulations require that underground systems remain fully functional and accessible for inspection. If your pipes are damaged or obstructed, you risk violations and fines. Repairs restore flow capacity, structural integrity, and inspection readiness, ensuring compliance with Philadelphia Water Department requirements.
Will repairing underground pipes solve my drainage problems?
In many cases, yes. Damaged underground infrastructure is often the root cause of persistent drainage issues. However, we also evaluate connected components like inlets, cleanouts, and basins to ensure there are no other blockages or structural problems affecting performance.
Can you help if I’ve received a violation for underground stormwater issues?
If you have a violation notice, we’ll assess the problem, make necessary repairs, and provide the proof you need for the Philadelphia Water Department. Our experience with local regulations allows us to navigate the process efficiently.
