Problems We Solve
Common Underground Utility Repair Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Broken or Cracked Utility Line
Physical damage to underground water, sewer, or force main lines — from ground movement, root intrusion, or aging — causes leaks, backups, and service interruptions that require immediate repair.
Root Intrusion Into Utility Lines
Tree and shrub roots invade utility line joints and cracks, causing blockages, structural damage, and leaks that worsen over time if not excavated and addressed.
Corrosion or Pipe Deterioration
Older pipes — especially metal lines — corrode from within and without, eventually failing and requiring section replacement to restore service.
Utility Damage From Excavation or Construction
Accidental utility strikes during excavation or construction require fast, accurate repair to restore service and meet permit requirements.
Failed Joint or Connection
Joints and connection points are often the first place a line fails — causing leaks that may not be visible above ground until significant damage has already occurred.
When to Call
Signs Your Sitework Project Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Unexplained Wet Spots or Sinkholes on Your Property
Saturated ground or depressions forming near utility lines are a strong indicator of a subsurface leak that requires immediate investigation.
Sudden Loss of Water Pressure
A significant drop in water pressure throughout the property often indicates a broken or cracked water line underground.
Sewage Odors or Surfacing Waste
Sewer odors in the yard or sewage surfacing above ground signals a broken sewer line that needs immediate repair to prevent health and environmental hazards.
Your Water Bill Has Spiked Without Explanation
A sudden increase in water usage without a change in habits often indicates a hidden leak in an underground water line.
A Utility Line Was Damaged During Excavation
Accidental utility strikes require prompt repair and proper documentation. We respond quickly to damaged line situations to restore service and meet permit requirements.
