Repair, replace or reroute

When an underground line fails, there are usually three options, and the right one depends on the line's condition, its route and what lies above it.

Repair fixes the damaged section and leaves the rest of the line in place. It suits a line in otherwise sound condition with a single defect, such as a cracked joint or a leaking fitting.

Replacement installs a new line along the same route. It suits a line whose material or condition makes further repairs unlikely to last.

Rerouting installs a new line along a different path, for example to avoid a building addition, a tree or a driveway, and abandons the old one. Directional drilling can make a new route possible without opening the ground along its whole length.

The owner makes the choice; our role is to explain what each option would involve on the site. We work for homeowners, businesses and public owners.

JULIE and the right-of-way

A locate request goes to JULIE, the Illinois one-call center, before any excavation. Where the work reaches into a public street or parkway, the right-of-way owner's conditions for the opening and its restoration apply.
