Darius was out in the trenches replacing a water service line at a client’s development site when a surprising discovery came to light.
What should have been a straightforward replacement turned into a detective job:
•The Blue Line poly pipe (usually one of the most durable options) showed scoring along the entire run
•The damage was unusual enough to warrant a closer look
•Out came the inspection camera to assess just how bad things were
💬 “I’ve installed Blue Line poly hundreds of times – but seeing scoring like this is a first for me.”
🔎 Step 1: Investigation
•Dug down to expose the scored sections
•Used an inspection camera to trace the full length of the damage
•Confirmed the pipe couldn’t be trusted long-term
🛠️ Step 2: Repair & Replacement
•Removed the damaged sections
•Installed fresh, undamaged Blue Line poly
•Carefully backfilled with clean bedding material to protect the new pipe from future wear
✅ Step 3: Testing & Wrap-Up
•Pressure-tested the new installation to confirm reliability
•Left the site tidy and ready for the client’s development to move forward
•Another trench job completed with care, precision, and no shortcuts
