Q&A
What does a plumbing inspection from an excavating company involve in Rochester?
Our plumbing inspection service focuses on the exterior sewer and water lines on your property, which are common sources of issues in our climate. Using specialized equipment, we can locate, assess, and diagnose problems like root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or bellied pipes that lead to backups. This is particularly valuable before a property purchase or if you're experiencing slow drains, as it helps pinpoint the exact location and nature of a problem, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
How does Berres Excavating handle the common local problem of ice sewer blockages?
Ice blockages in sewer lines are a frequent winter issue in Rochester due to freezing temperatures and pipe insulation failures. We address this by first using camera inspections to locate the exact point of the freeze. Depending on the situation, we may use high-pressure jetting to break up the ice or employ controlled steam thawing techniques. For recurring problems, our trench digging service allows us to properly excavate and repair or replace vulnerable sections of pipe, often adding better insulation and depth to prevent future freezing.
Do you offer emergency snow removal for driveways and commercial lots?
Yes, we provide prompt and reliable snow plowing services for both residential driveways and commercial parking lots throughout Rochester. As a local, family-operated business, we understand the importance of keeping access clear and safe during Minnesota winters. We work with our customers to establish service plans that fit their needs, whether for routine plowing after every storm or on-call service for specific events. Our equipment is well-maintained and suited for efficient snow removal in our area.
