Installing or replacing underground pipes beneath concrete requires a precise approach that avoids disturbing the slab above it. Tennessee Standard Plumbing offers under-concrete
pipe installation in Knoxville using specialized directional boring, allowing new water, sewer, drainage, or gas lines to be placed beneath concrete surfaces without demolition.
Knoxville homes often have utilities running under garage floors, patios, walkways, and interior slabs. Directional boring makes it possible to reach these areas through a controlled
underground path, keeping the concrete structure intact while resolving utility issues below.
Contact us today to schedule an inspection and learn how our under-concrete installation services can protect your Knoxville property.
When underground pipes located beneath concrete fail, traditional excavation requires cutting into the slab, disrupting finished areas, and increasing repair time and cost. Many Knoxville properties also have aging or original utility lines that are difficult to access due to their placement under hardscaped surfaces.
Under-concrete pipe installation using specialized directional boring provides a way to install new utility lines without removing the existing concrete. This approach protects finished surfaces and allows work to move forward efficiently, even in tight or hard-to-reach areas.
Directional boring supports a range of underground utility projects beneath concrete, including applications that require accuracy and minimal surface disruption.
New water lines can be routed beneath slabs and paved areas without breaking the surface.
Useful for repairing or replacing sewer lines located under concrete floors or exterior hardscapes.
Helps improve drainage systems when access is limited by concrete structures.
Enables safe underground routing of gas lines beneath patios, driveways, and interior slabs.
Each installation path is planned to ensure reliable performance and meet local utility requirements.
Certain indicators point to problems beneath concrete that cannot be addressed through surface-level inspections alone. These symptoms often become more
noticeable over time and may lead to further structural or plumbing complications if ignored.
Dampness near slabs often indicates leaks below the concrete.
Persistent smells can suggest underground sewer line failure.
Blockages or deterioration beneath concrete can cause widespread performance problems.
Shifting or uneven slabs may be related to leaking or failing pipes underneath.
Remodeling projects often require utilities to be routed beneath existing concrete.
These symptoms suggest underground utility issues that are better addressed with directional boring rather than slab removal.

Yes. When slab leaks come from damaged pipes beneath concrete, installing a new line underground is often the most effective long-term solution. It bypasses the failing pipe and avoids breaking up the concrete slab.
The team evaluates symptoms such as water damage, sewer odors, slow drains, and changes in slab conditions. These indicators help identify whether an underground line beneath concrete is compromised and requires a new installation.
No. Because the work is performed underground, the concrete slab and finished flooring above it remain untouched. Homeowners do not need to move interior items unless a separate repair requires surface access.
Yes. One advantage of directional underground installation is the ability to route new pipes along a better path, avoiding unstable soil, improperly sloped sections, or areas where the old pipe has repeatedly failed.
