Reaching a Sewer Line Under the Home
Sewer and drain lines often run beneath the home. Reaching them can take an access opening, a tunnel, or both, depending on where the problem is.
Tunneling on this job was for sewer work. For potable water-supply slab leaks, we do not use tunneling. See slab leak repair for how we handle those.

Sewer Line Repair in Alamo Heights: FAQs
Do you repair sewer lines in Alamo Heights?
Yes. Alamo Heights is within our regular service area, and we repair sewer lines there, including lines beneath the home. Availability depends on technician scheduling, location, access, and current call volume, so please call to confirm for your address.
What does a leak under the house mean?
It can come from a water-supply line or from a sewer or drain line. Finding which one is leaking comes first, because the repair is different for each. On the job above, the repair was to the sewer line.
Why would a sewer repair need a tunnel?
When a sewer line runs beneath the home, a tunnel from an outside access point can be one way to reach it while limiting openings inside. Whether it is used depends on the building, the line location, soil conditions, access, and the repair scope. See our tunneling and excavation page for more.
Do you use tunneling for water-line slab leaks?
No. We do not use tunneling for potable water-supply slab leak repairs. For those leaks, we evaluate a localized repair through the slab, rerouting, or repiping, depending on the home and piping conditions.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Work is performed by or under the supervision of a Responsible Master Plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE).
