Common Types of Investigative Plumbing Services

Sewer Camera Inspections

Our high-resolution sewer camera inspections offer a clear view of the interior of your sewer lines, helping us detect blockages, cracks, or leaks that may be compromising your plumbing system. This non-invasive service provides accurate diagnostics, allowing us to target repairs effectively and avoid unnecessary excavation.

Hydrostatic Testing

Hydrostatic testing is essential for detecting hidden leaks in your plumbing system. We pressurize the plumbing with water to detect drops in pressure that indicate leaks. This method is critical for preventing costly water damage and ensuring the integrity of your plumbing system.

Leak Detection Services

Using investigative tools within our leak detection service, we will quickly identify hidden leaks in your plumbing system that could cause significant damage if left unaddressed. Our expert investigative plumbing team quickly locates and repairs leaks to protect your property, helping you avoid expensive repairs and potential structural damage.

Investigative Plumbing Services at Texas Excavation Plumbing

At Texas Excavation Plumbing, we understand that plumbing issues can directly impact the stability and longevity of your property’s foundation. As a leading provider of investigative plumbing services, we work hand-in-hand with foundation contractors to diagnose and resolve the underlying plumbing problems that often lead to foundation damage. Here’s how our investigative plumbing services support comprehensive foundation repair:

Identifying Foundation Damage from Leaks
  • Water Leaks Detection: Our investigative plumbing services specialize in detecting leaks in underground pipes or drainage systems that cause soil erosion or water pooling around your foundation. Undetected leaks can weaken the foundation over time, leading to cracks, shifting, or sinking.
  • Slab Leaks: In homes with slab foundations, leaks beneath the slab can go unnoticed but result in severe damage. Texas Excavation Plumbing uses advanced tools to locate slab leaks that may be contributing to your foundation’s instability.
Diagnosing Water Pressure Issues
  • Excessive Water Pressure: High water pressure within your plumbing system can cause pipes to burst, leading to significant water damage under or around your foundation. Our team identifies and resolves water pressure issues before they cause extensive damage to your property.
Checking for Drainage Problems
  • Improper Drainage: Poor drainage systems can lead to water buildup around the foundation, causing soil movement or erosion. Texas Excavation Plumbing evaluates drainage problems that may be compromising the stability of your foundation, ensuring that drainage and foundation repair needs are addressed together for long-lasting solutions.
Preventing Future Foundation Problems
  • Plumbing Inspections During Repairs: During foundation repair projects, we ensure that all plumbing lines—including water, sewage, and gas—are inspected and protected from damage. Our thorough inspections prevent new leaks from forming during the repair process, safeguarding your foundation from future damage.
Foundation Lifting and Plumbing Considerations
  • Plumbing Adjustments: When your foundation is lifted or leveled, plumbing lines may become misaligned or damaged. Texas Excavation Plumbing ensures that your plumbing system is properly adjusted during the foundation work to prevent future leaks and ensure smooth, efficient repairs.
Mitigating Moisture and Expansive Soils
  • Controlling Moisture Levels: Moisture from leaks can exacerbate issues in expansive soils (soils that expand and contract with moisture changes). Our team identifies and repairs leaks to help control moisture levels, protecting your foundation from further destabilization due to shifting soils.
Root Cause Analysis of Foundation Issues
  • Plumbing as the Source of Foundation Problems: In many cases, plumbing issues are the underlying cause of foundation damage. Texas Excavation Plumbing provides a holistic approach, helping you identify whether leaks, poor drainage, or faulty pipes are contributing to foundation problems, so we can address both plumbing and foundation issues simultaneously.
At Texas Excavation Plumbing, we are committed to providing expert investigative plumbing services that ensure the health and stability of your foundation. By addressing the root causes of foundation damage, we help protect your property for the long term.
