Why a plumber owns a backhoe
In the shop’s own words: “Don’t use evasive jackhammer services. Instead, rely on us to repair broken sewer lines efficiently with our tunneling and excavation services.”
A camera run down the line shows where the pipe failed, so the dig goes to that spot and nowhere else.
