1-Tom-Plumber Richmond: Plumbing, Damage Restoration & Excavation Services

In Richmond, slab leaks and hidden pipe damage are frequent because of shifting soil and aging foundations. We first use electronic leak detection to locate the exact spot without unnecessary digging. Then we access the pipe through targeted excavation or trench digging. After repairs, we restore the affected area, including flooring or drywall, and address any mold that may have developed from the moisture. Our team coordinates with insurance adjusters when needed so you get thorough restoration.

We start with a visual check of all accessible pipes, faucets, and fixtures. Then we use a sewer camera to inspect underground lines for cracks, root intrusion, or blockages. We also check water pressure and toilet function. After the inspection, we explain what we found in plain language and give you a clear estimate for any recommended repairs, including excavation if needed.

Trench digging is typically needed when a main water line or sewer line must be replaced. Instead of tearing up your whole yard, we create a narrow trench directly over the damaged pipe. This method is ideal for neighborhoods with tight spaces, like Church Hill or The Museum District, where we need to minimize the impact on landscaping and walkways.
