UNDERGROUND FIRE LINE REPAIR
OUR EXPERTISE IN FIRE LINE REPAIR
Underground Piping Flow Tests
Are you worried about part of your yard not receiving efficient water from your underground fire pipe? We perform underground trenchless piping flow tests to analyze and diagnose your system. Our flow tests identify obstructions in your fire line, measure flow rate, detect leaks, and evaluate your fire line efficiency. Early detection can minimize damage to your infrastructure and guarantee the effectiveness of your fire protection system in emergencies. We have invested in industry-grade cameras that transmit high-quality videos of your pipe conditions to us for quick and accurate analysis, diagnosis, and repairs.
Fire Line Leak Repairs
Aside from significant water loss, leaks in your fire line can significantly reduce the water pressure required to tame wildfires. Over time, the water erodes soil and damages the structural integrity of the surrounding infrastructure. We perform flow and hydrostatic tests to identify leaks in underground fire lines and recommend repair strategies based on our findings. Our solutions are minimally invasive and effective at resolving leakages, from comprehensive video inspections to trenchless techniques like directional drilling, pipe bursting, lining, and relining, and exhaustive quality assurance tests.
Underground Sprinkler System Solutions
We understand the importance of having a functioning sprinkler system in the Bay Area as the temperatures soar. Let us handle those frequent leaks and sprinkler head clogs on the underground component of your system. We are experts in connecting sprinkler systems to the fire department line, large-style piping, fixing leaks, clogs, and corrosion in sprinkler pipes, and pressure-independent valve (PIV) repairs. Our team can repair any form of underground damage and malfunction, taking into account the agency of having a functional fire sprinkler system.
Corroded Underground Fire Pipe Repairs
The Bay Area is home to decade-old houses with old pipelines, including the underground fire line system. The salty water also leaves conduits vulnerable to corrosion when the dissolved salts react with the pipes. We always choose techniques that require minimal excavation to maintain the integrity of your property and reduce accident risks and infrastructure damage. We repipe, patch, or replace corroded pipes, testing our work after completing the rehabilitation to ensure optimum water flow rate and pressure levels.
Post Indicator Valve Repairs
We ensure your PIVs operate efficiently, ensuring sufficient water flow during fire emergencies. Our certified workforce has extensive experience dealing with all kinds of PIV issues, from minor leaks to low water pressure and damaged components. We can offer solutions to simple and complex repairs, adhering to state and municipal fire compliance codes. Our interventions guarantee industry-level rehabilitation and an efficient fire system in your hour of need. Let us fix those PIVs for much-needed peace of mind.
Underground Fire Main Break Repairs
We are a fully licensed underground fire protection contractor with quality technologies, equipment, and resources to handle ruptures or breaches in your main fire line. Our team is also fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle all your underground fire main issues. The fire main delivers water from the fire hydrant to your sprinkler system. Breaks due to corrosion, root intrusion, construction activities, and earthquakes interfere with water flow in fire emergencies. Let us fix the problem and secure your property in case of a fire emergency.
What People’s Say
Reviews
I met Joe from Total Underground Construction when my neighbor was having all her pipes replaced. He was friendly and professional. I kept his number just in case I would need help in the future. That day came this week! My landlords handyman had tried to replace my corroded PVC that was leaking. It caused a host of problems with the water pressure in the house. I called Joe and he was at my house within 20 minutes! He was able to fix the problem and explain what was going on with great knowledge. He even followed up the next day to confirm things were back to normal. Highly recommend!!

I was leaving the Bay Area after 30 years and my house was 115 years old. As expected, I failed an inspection required by City of San Mateo's lateral sewer line ordinance (enacted in 2020).
I contacted a very large plumbing outfit suggested by my realtor, but they gave me a very large estimate. Later that night, someone recommended Joe at Total Underground Construction (funnily enough it was a Lyft driver who heard my sob story and had a similar experience).
Joe assessed the situation and gave me a lower quote with a few contingencies for stuff he couldn't see until excavating. To my surprise, the contingent items weren't necessary and the quote held.
Work was performed impeccably and quickly. Permits and all phases were perfectly sequenced, and we passed inspection. Now I can sell the house.
Joe is very experienced and a good guy - total pro. If you're ever in this situation, don't stress - just contact this company.

I had a leak under my house and Joe came out within hours of me reaching out. They recommended I replace the galvanized pipes and they had the job done within 24 hours. Him and his team were very professional and spotted some other issues that needed attention along the way. They have a lot of experience and let me know what was happening every step of the way.
