# Tunneling Drain Replacement in Richardson: Cleanup and Restoration Questions to Ask

Rubric Plumbing is an owner-operated plumbing company based in Plano, Texas. We serve Richardson along with Plano, Carrollton, North Dallas (Preston Hollow and Highland Park), North Irving and Las Colinas (Hackberry Creek), Southlake, and Grapevine. Cast iron replacement and under-slab tunneling are among the services listed on our site.

When cast iron drains under a Richardson slab start to fail, homeowners often compare under-slab tunneling with opening finished floors. Tunneling can help limit damage to floors when site conditions allow. Before you hire anyone, ask for a written scope that covers camera inspection findings, how bathrooms and the kitchen will be managed in an occupied home, how debris and dust will be handled, what restoration is included after the pipe work, and what warranty applies to the installation—get that warranty scope in writing.

# Questions that usually belong in the written scope

• What did the camera inspection show about the line under the slab?
• Will work be sequenced so at least one bathroom stays usable where possible?
• Who protects flooring, HVAC returns, and finished rooms during tunneling?
• What cleanup and restoration are included versus homeowner or separate contractor work?
• How will temporary water shutoffs be handled during the day?
