Everything You Need To Know Before Building a Retaining Wall
What happens here
During excavation, a water line is accidentally pinched and an electrical conduit is broken. The water line requires repair to prevent future issues, and the electrical conduit needs to be re-routed due to its original position being too low for the power meter box. This involves digging new trenches and using a reciprocating saw to cut and re-install new PVC pipes for the electrical conduit.
Goal: Repair and re-route damaged utility lines.
