Water and sewer line excavation in Ootischenia

Ootischenia sits on the flats across the Columbia from Castlegar, near the airport. Its large lots mean long water and sewer lines.

Long runs, easy ground

Houses here are often set well back from the road, so a line to the property line can run a long distance. Longer lines mean more trench, which is the main thing that drives the price.

The sandy, gravelly ground digs cleanly, which helps keep long runs affordable.

We find out from the local water system where its part of an Ootischenia line ends before the machine arrives.

Planning an Ootischenia job

On a long run the trench route matters. We look for the shortest path that avoids trees, driveways and gardens, then show you where it will go.

After a long winter a line laid too shallow can show it, with a wet stretch across the yard or a sudden loss of pressure indoors.

Ootischenia yards often have room for the machine, so access is rarely the hard part here.

On a long Ootischenia run, repairing one broken section can sometimes save replacing the whole line, and we'll tell you which makes more sense.
