Water main break repair, she's a seeper and a quickie cause it is COLD!!

Repair of a small crack in a 4" iron main. Very cold that day so we made it quick! Everything's froze including the pump!

    We use a rock drill in the winter if there is a lot of frost and it's not obvious where the issue is really at. Sometimes the failure is 100 feet down the road. So we locate the pipe in all directions and drill through the frost (I've seen our 4 ft. bit not go through all the way) until we get a nice flow. Then we confirm with our ground mic. We water guys are a hearty group, no one ever wants to work in our dept!! Good job guys!

    We've kinda did the same procedure with the hammer for situations where the water is pushing under asphalt as well! Poke a few holes and see where it comes out the most. Leaks can definitely lead you in a wild goose chase! Thanks as well!
