At NuFlow Indy, our specialty is sewer line repair utilizing trenchless methods. We help our customers save time and money, typically over 20-50% vs dig solutions (which we also do). We proudly offer military and first responder discounts as well! Trenchless sewer pipe repairs allow us to restore drain lines and sewer pipes without having to tear up your residence or commercial building. Because of this, the process offers many benefits, including: *Repairs usually take only a couple of hours. *Less-intrusive techniques mean saving landscaping, flooring, and walls in homes & businesses. *Efficient services save our customers time and money. Trenchless repairs meet industry standards and local utility standards, which are permanent. Nu Flow Indy also has specialized equipment for: *High Definition Self Leveling Camera Inspections. *Cleaning 100% of the pipe, not just poking a hole so water flows for a few more weeks. * Fixing your problem with either Dig or No Dig solutions. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a free quote!

"After receiving an extremely high water bill I contacted a contractor that I knew to have him look into it. His analysis was that there was a leak in the main water line which is something he did not do. After doing some research regarding various companies that provide service in this area I chose Nu Flow Indy to investigate based on their expertise as shown on their website and prior customer reviews. Jason Long arrived to investigate and determined that the issue was in fact in the main water line. Jason explained exactly what the process would entail and gave me his personal cell number as point-of-contact. A quote was sent detailing the process and cost and I contacted Jason to proceed with the replacement. Though there were some unforeseen issues that were no fault of Jason or Nu Flow Indy Jason resolved the issues pushing through until the new main water line was installed, completing the install of the new main water line and hookup at 11:20PM on the 2nd day. Jason had a team come back to fill in the trench and a "dig site" leaving the area with as little impact as possible. I thank Jason, Adam, Brian, Rudy, Matt & Rico for their dedication/professionalism. Also I want to add that these gentlemen are Great people."

"My husband signed a contract with Tony Shipman, boss of Precision Mechanical in Sullivan IN. (Terre Haute). We paid him $4,000 and the job is not finished. He promised to give us water lines, and upgraded electrical service, which has never been accomplished. There are also many damages that have been made. There is a hole in my kitchen wall, there are several deep ditches in our lawn, making it unsafe for our daughter to play and causing water build-up perfect for a mosquito breeding pool. They took the electrical prongs from our heater to place on the well pump! They even used my husband’s gas in the shed without permission. They used all the drinking water we had without replacing it several times. They also left trash behind on our lawn. Tony Shipman has said he would do the job multiple times but has not shown, or even notified us of the reasons for not coming as planned. Mr. Shipman is now ignoring calls and text messages as well. This has been ongoing for three months. Our family has been wronged; we are seeking justice. We cannot afford a lawyer and are praying we receive help. I do not want anyone else to be wronged by Tony Shipman and his crew with Precision Mechanical. Please, do not overlook this review. We thought he was a good option because our local news station (WTHI) has a positive report. I anyone and everyone to heed this warning so it doesn't happen again to an innocent family."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
