๐ ๏ธ Underground Kitchen Drain Line Repair in Hollywood, FL ๐ฐ๐ฅ
Our team was called out to a home in Hollywood where the customer was experiencing severe drainage issues due to a suspected collapsed kitchen drain line. Upon an on-site assessment, we confirmed that the old cast iron pipe had completely failed right beneath the slab.
To fix it properly, we had to open a section of the exterior concrete block wall and carefully tunnel under the concrete slab to reach the damaged area. Once exposed, we found the 2" cast iron pipe cracked and deteriorated along the bottom. We pushed forward until we hit structurally sound pipe to ensure a rock-solid, long-term repair point.
Here's what we did:
โ
Excavated the exterior wall and opened the concrete block to access the lines
โ
Tunneled under the slab to expose the damaged and cracked cast iron pipe
โ
Removed the failed, broken section of the old 2" drain piping
โ
Tied into the solid cast iron using a heavy-duty 2" shielded Fernco coupling
โ
Extended approximately 4 feet of brand-new, durable 2" PVC piping toward the exterior
โ
Reconnected the line to the vertical stack below the waste arm with another 2" shielded Fernco coupling
โ
Ran a post-repair camera inspection up to 25 feet out and confirmed free-flowing water with zero leaks
โ
Carefully backfilled the tunnel, compacting the soil in stages to ensure permanent structural support
The result? A completely restored, smoothly draining kitchen system with absolutely zero blockages or leaks. While the immediate issue is perfectly resolved, we always provide peace of mind: because old cast iron deteriorates over time, we also recommended future pipelining to protect the remaining sections down the road!
