The main risk is the drill bit hitting and going through the pipe. A skilled technician will know to stop the drilling once the concrete has been passed, and the risk there is minimized.
@@Therealsealllc Ok, thanks. Is polyjacking better than mudjacking in terms of risk to pipes? I have a hard time thinking about how the forces involved could affect a pipe which may or may not be exposed in part or full.
@@TimothyOBrien6 Both services have risk of filling pipes, as they are filling voids and any break in a pipe exposes a large space. Solid pipes have little chance of being damaged with either service.
What can be done if the concrete is too cracked?
If the concrete is too cracked, it is best to break out and re-pour new cement.
Is there a risk to pipes, e.g. a water main, that is near the area being jacked?
