Our Under Slab Tunneling Process in Houston, TX

While some homeowners may consider tackling under slab tunneling as a DIY project, we strongly advise against it. This process is complex and can be dangerous if not done by professionals. At Replumb and Repipe Houston, our team is trained and licensed to ensure both the safety of your household and the quality of the repairs.

Here’s what to expect when you choose us for your under slab tunneling project:

  1. Free Consultation: We start with a free consultation to understand your issue. During this time, we’ll discuss pricing, timelines, and answer any questions you might have.

  2. Tunneling Begins: Once scheduled, our team will dig the tunnel from outside your home to reach the affected area. We ensure that the tunnel is as short as possible to minimize costs and time.

  3. Repair Work: Our professionals will then crawl through the tunnel to address the plumbing problem. This stage requires expert handling to ensure safety and effective repairs.

  4. Project Completion: After repairs are completed, we will securely close the tunnel and finish the job.

The Advantages of Under Slab Tunneling

The primary benefit of under slab tunneling is avoiding damage to your home’s foundation and interior. This method protects your flooring, walls, and appliances from the mess that traditional repairs can cause. Additionally, it safeguards your home from harmful materials that could enter through a compromised slab.

Another method for repairing plumbing issues is breaking through the foundation, which involves digging directly into the slab from inside your home. While effective, this method is noisy, messy, and can cause significant damage to your floors. Because of these drawbacks, many homeowners now prefer under slab tunneling for its convenience and minimal impact on their living spaces.

To steer clear of the mess associated with breaking your home’s foundation, schedule a consultation with Replumb and Repipe Houston for our under slab tunneling services.
