At Reynolds Contracting, we take pride in offering quality, professional solutions for a wide range of earthwork needs. On a recent project, we responded to a homeowner’s call about a damaged pipe outlet repair, where a lawn mower had accidentally broken the end of the drain line.
Our crew carefully excavated around the break, exposing approximately three feet of the damaged pipe. The existing green pipe had been completely cracked through at the end, creating a disruption in water flow that could lead to drainage issues or erosion if left unaddressed.
We cut and removed the broken section, then installed a new piece of PVC pipe, connecting it to the existing line with a solvent weld adapter to ensure a watertight, long-lasting bond. This step is essential for durability and optimal performance, especially in outdoor drainage systems.
Once the repair was complete, we backfilled the trench using on-site soils and compacted the area with a trench tamper for added stability. In the final stage, our team fine graded the area, applied grass seed, and covered it with straw to encourage regrowth and restore the lawn’s appearance.
This small job is a great example of how quick action and quality craftsmanship can prevent bigger problems down the road. Whether it’s a damaged pipe outlet repair, drainage issue, or full excavation project, Reynolds Contracting is ready to help. Call 434-293-6724 for an estimate in the Central Virginia area.
