East Tennessee sits on limestone and dolomite, where underground voids can form and soil can wash into cracks. A leaking pipe makes this worse by washing soil away. If a pipe has been undermined or a depression has opened over it, the line must be repaired and the void addressed. We repair the pipe with trenchless methods where possible and coordinate with specialists on soil stabilization.
We camera the pipe, look for signs of soil entry and voids and map the area. We repair the pipe with lining or replacement, and we explain when grouting or fill work by a geotechnical specialist is also advisable. We do not give engineering advice, and we encourage you to involve the right professionals for the ground.
