So what happens during external water pipe repair in Yeovil?
As an innovative team, we try to reduce disruption around your property during any external water pipe repair. We use a technique called trenchless moling which makes use of a pneumatic device, a bit like a mole burrowing underground. The method creates far less soil excavation and is used in complex areas such as built-up front lawns, a shared driveway or in fact a new driveway. We appreciate that the last thing you want is costly labour work to dig up areas at the front of your property. Next comes the repair stage where we replaced any damaged pipes with modern MDPE.
How much does an external water pipe repair Yeovil cost?
Although a simple external water pipe repair costs between £300 - £750, there are various factors that affect the overall cost. Where trenchless moling is not an option, certain machinery or diggers are used at additional costs to dig through old concrete or block paving. Once we get down to the damaged pipe work, a simple crack or damaged joint is easy to bypass and repair. Full pipe replacement for a longer length is about £1,200 - £2,400 for a standard distance from boundary to stopcock. Luckily, the project at Hounstone turned out to be a smaller repair job so the team could get away with trenchless moling, saving the homeowner time and money.
