We don’t guess. We start with a thorough evaluation—locating key access points, confirming where the issue is occurring, and (when applicable) using camera inspection to pinpoint the failure area. That up-front diagnostics work is how we avoid unnecessary digging and keep the plan accurate.
In many cases, directional boring is chosen specifically to avoid large demo. That said, we still need entry and exit points (small work zones) to complete the run and connect the new line properly. During your evaluation, we’ll explain exactly what access we need and why.
You can expect a structured, step-by-step experience: confirm access and shutoffs (if needed), protect the work area, complete the install/repair, then verify performance before we wrap up. Tennessee Standard Plumbing is big on clear communication and controlled work zones—especially when we’re working around finished hardscapes.
Yes. When a directional boring or line-replacement project requires a permit, Tennessee Standard Plumbing can handle the permitting process and ensure the work meets Tennessee and local code requirements. We manage the same permitting and compliance needs for businesses through our commercial plumbing services.
Timelines vary based on distance, access, and what we find during evaluation. The key difference is that directional boring is often selected to reduce demolition and restoration time compared to traditional trenching—especially under concrete or decking.
