Trenching & Trenchless

Trenching Or Trenchless Services

Trenching:

Trenching is a critical construction process that involves digging trenches in the ground to install, maintain, or inspect underground utilities. This is our specialty and our most utilized service when it comes to working for our contractor clients. Jason, the present proprietor of MBS, established Zoom Drain & Sewer Cleaning Service in 1995, undertaking the excavation of thousands of sewer trenches over the course of twenty-five years. This extensive background forms the essence and serves as the bedrock of Mini Backhoe Services. Consequently, our clients and contractors find reassurance in this invaluable expertise, as they rightfully should. We trench electric lines, fiber optic, water, gas piping, storm and sewer pipe, building footers, curbs, sprinklers, and more. At Mini Backhoe Services, we offer reliable and professional trenching services to ensure that your project's underground infrastructure is installed, maintained, or inspected correctly. Our contractor reviews speak for themselves.

Trenchless:

A "trenchless pipe bursting pipe replacement service" is a method of replacing old, damaged underground pipes without the need for large excavation trenches, where a specialized tool is pulled through the existing pipe, breaking it apart while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place to replace it; essentially, it "bursts" the old pipe to install a new one in its place, minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.

MBS can replace pipes ranging in size from 2 to 6 inch in diameter. This process can even increase the diameter of the pipe being replaced by 2 sizes. 2" pipe can be increased in size to 4". 3" pipe to 5", and 4" to 6".

Key points about trenchless pipe bursting:

Minimal disruption:

Unlike traditional pipe replacement, this method requires only small access pits at the start and end of the pipe run, reducing surface disruption.

How it works:

A "bursting head" is inserted into the old pipe and pulled through, breaking the existing pipe apart as a new pipe follows behind it.

Applications:

Primarily used for replacing sewer lines, water lines, and other underground utility pipes that are damaged, deteriorated, or undersized. Book Now

Why Trenching Matters

Trenching is essential for the success of any construction project that involves underground utilities. It allows for the installation, maintenance, or inspection of these utilities, which are necessary for the proper functioning of a building or outdoor space. Without trenching, these utilities would be inaccessible, making it difficult or impossible to repair or replace them in the future. Trenching is also critical for preventing safety hazards and avoiding damage to existing underground infrastructure.
