How Does Restoration Start?

Backfilling the trench and water line checks are standard parts of the restoration process. These entail:

Backfilling the Trench

• Soil is replaced and compacted to prevent sinking or erosion
• Creates stability for the repaired sewer line
• Prevents ground shifts that could damage new pipes

Water Line Checks

• If lines were exposed during water line excavation, they’re inspected for leaks
• Repairs are made immediately to avoid future water damage
• Regrading may be needed to ensure proper drainage and prevent pooling

Restoring a water line may also involve regrading the ground to ensure proper drainage. Uneven surfaces could lead to water pooling and eroding the area around the repaired lines.
