FAQ
Direct Slab Excavation FAQs
Will my floor have to be opened?
Direct excavation means creating access at a selected area. Ask how large the opening is expected to be and how restoration is handled.
How is the opening chosen?
It should follow the diagnosis and the proposed repair method, not guesswork.
Can I get an exact price over the phone?
A useful scope may require diagnosis and site information. A phone call can identify the next step, but exact pricing should not be invented without the necessary facts.
Service scope
Access planning for Direct Slab Excavation
Direct excavation creates access through the slab or finished area to reach a known problem. The quality of the scope depends on accurate locating, safe work planning and a clear restoration plan.
What should be established first?
Start with the problem being solved, the part of the plumbing system involved and the evidence available. A clear diagnosis keeps the service scope proportional to the known issue.
What can change the work?
Location, access, pipe configuration, condition, finished surfaces and follow-up testing can all change the sequence. Good scope descriptions make those variables visible instead of hiding them.
Questions worth asking
Ask how the opening will be protected, what plumbing work is included, how testing will be performed, and what restoration remains separate.
