Services
Sewer Pipe Replacement
We replace aging cast iron sewer pipes with durable PVC systems, addressing corrosion and structural failures. Our process includes hydro-excavation for minimal disruption, stainless-steel support systems to prevent rust, and limestone backfilling for stable restoration. This comprehensive solution ensures long-term reliability and compliance with modern plumbing standards.
Hydro-Excavation
Our proprietary hydro-excavation method uses high-pressure water and vacuum suction to create precise tunnels without damaging property. This environmentally responsible technique safely accesses underground pipes while reducing restoration needs. It's ideal for challenging locations and time-sensitive projects requiring minimal surface disruption.
LightRay Pipe Lining
LightRay technology targets specific pipe damage with UV-cured liners, creating structural repairs without full excavation. The system allows mechanical cleaning and exact positioning, making it ideal for localized failures. This method preserves existing infrastructure while extending pipe lifespan with minimal downtime.
Plumbing System Upgrades
We upgrade critical components like laundry lines (2" to 3" PVC), eliminate problematic Double Y cross sections, and sleeve water lines for corrosion protection. These improvements enhance flow efficiency, prevent future blockages, and ensure compliance with current codes for both residential and commercial properties.

Questions
What makes Bob Smith Plumbing different from other sewer repair companies?
We combine 45+ years of cast iron pipe expertise with proprietary technologies like hydro-excavation and LightRay pipe lining for precise, permanent solutions.
Why replace cast iron pipes instead of repairing them?
Cast iron pipes typically last 50-70 years but corrode over time. Complete replacement with PVC systems prevents recurring issues and future weak points.
What is hydro-excavation and why do you use it?
Our patented hydro-excavation method uses high-pressure water and vacuum suction for non-invasive tunneling, minimizing property disruption and environmental impact.
How does LightRay pipe lining work?
LightRay inserts a UV-cured liner into damaged pipe sections, creating a durable, mechanically cleanable repair without full excavation.
What plumbing system upgrades do you offer?
We upgrade laundry lines to 3-inch PVC, eliminate problematic Double Y cross sections, and sleeve water lines for enhanced durability.
