Gas Line Excavation Lee’s Summit MO

At Bill Fry the Plumbing Guy, we understand the urgency and seriousness of these situations. With over 25 years of experience serving the Lee’s Summit community, we’re trusted to handle gas line excavation with precision, professionalism, and care. Our approach is built around safety, transparency, and keeping your household protected throughout every step of the process.

What Is Gas Line Excavation?

Gas line excavation is the act of digging into the ground to reach damaged or old gas piping. It's usually necessary when the line is too damaged or broken to be fixed from above the ground. Although some small problems can be solved without excavation, some issues, such as collapsed or heavily corroded gas pipes, can only be fixed by exposing the line physically.

We employ state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to find the problem before we start digging. Once we've determined that excavation is required, we design the safest, most effective method to get to the line, perform the repair or replacement, and bring everything back to a secure, code-approved status.

Our Gas Line Excavation Process

All gas line excavation projects begin with planning and preparation. We start by doing a thorough investigation with pressure test equipment and gas leak detection equipment to find out where the problem is. After we establish that excavation is the way to go, we'll chart out the utilities and determine the best course of action.

We excavate around the broken pipe with care using the proper tools and protective gear. When exposed, we replace or fix the required portion using code-approved, high-quality materials. Next, we fill in the area, compact the ground, and seal the area to make everything safe and secure.

We keep you informed every step of the way so you never have to wonder what's happening. From the first inspection to the last cleanup, we treat your home with the care it deserves.

When Is Gas Line Excavation Required?

We always try to use the least invasive method, but excavation is required when the gas line is:

• Severely corroded or rusted
• Cracked due to settling soil or root intrusion
• Collapsed or leaking underground
• No longer meets safety or material requirements

Our staff does not recommend excavation lightly. We only do so when we are certain it is the safest and most dependable method of restoring gas service to your home.
