How installation works in Wood Dale, IL
Here is how a installation visit typically unfolds at an Wood Dale home — the 1987, 2008 and 2010 Salt Creek floods.
Site layout and utility locating
Layout comes before digging: the route, the depths and all marked utilities on the Wood Dale lot. With aging clay, cast iron and 1960s Orangeburg failing nearby, the new line's path is chosen to avoid repeating the old line's mistakes.
Excavation or trenchless pull
Depending on the lot, the new Wood Dale line goes in by open trench or is pulled trenchlessly through the old path. Flat ground over USGS-mapped Salt Creek inundation — floods in 1987, 2008 and 2010, which decides how the trench is managed and how the pipe is bedded.
Bedding, jointing and tap
Bedding, sealed joints and the tap into the main complete the underground work. On Wood Dale ground — flat ground over USGS-mapped Salt Creek inundation — floods in 1987, 2008 and 2010 — compaction happens in lifts so the new line never settles into a belly.
Backfill, compaction and test
The trench is backfilled in lifts and compacted, then the Wood Dale line is water-tested and camera-verified. Split-level slab sections that change trenchless launch planning, so restoration follows the lot's layout and the 60191 yard is left graded and clean.
