Additional Lead Water Service Investigation methods
Hydro-Vac Excavation
Water service lines can be daylighted at any location with non-mechanical soft digging using high pressure water and vacuum. The method can be used in conjunction with keyhole excavation when accessing the service line under pavement.
Keyhole Excavation
Common keyhole methods involve creating a pavement opening only 12 to 24 inches in diameter, usually made with a circular core-hole cutter, allowing for access to the service line.
Restoration is accomplished by replacing the cored pavement coupon after repairs are made. The road is restored to traffic-bearing strength in as little as 30 minutes following job completion.
