Our Charleston SC Piping Services
Design and Planning
Our contractors will work closely with you to determine the scope of your project. We can produce detailed plans and design blueprints to ensure the property’s piping network meets your specifications and is as efficient and reliable as needed.
Our team can help you choose the piping network’s materials, guiding your choice based on material properties, sustainability and cost efficiency. Examples range from plastic piping for drainage, vents and waste management to metal and concrete pipes for outdoor and heavy-duty applications.
Our North Charleston-based team stays current with the latest building codes, regulations and standards in Charleston and South Carolina. We’ll help you obtain all necessary permits, review local and state piping regulations and keep your project fully compliant with the law.
Piping Installation
When our team is ready to install piping for your project, we follow a comprehensive four-step process. We begin with thorough site preparation tasks, then proceed with pipe-laying and installing pumps, valves, heaters and other fittings. Lastly, we conduct testing and quality assurance on the piping network.
Our site preparation process includes a complete survey and overview of the construction site to map out the piping routes, identify potential obstacles and address them as necessary. Our contractors will then clear the site, excavate trenches and install bedding, preparing the site to receive the pipes.
When the site is ready, our team will align and place each pipe according to the design plans. We also offer specialized services to construct or strengthen the pipes according to your specifications. Our techniques include precision welding to reduce the risk of leaks and applying anti-corrosion coatings and thermal insulation systems to protect your pipes from winter temperatures.
Piping Maintenance and Repairs
If your property’s piping network was designed and installed by Howell & Simmons Construction & Paving Inc., who better to handle repairs and maintenance than our team? Our firm offers a complete range of maintenance services, including scheduled inspections and maintenance, plus routine pipe and fittings cleaning.
If we’ve helped you design and lay your property’s piping network, we will use our expertise and existing knowledge of its layout to get the maintenance job done quickly and efficiently. Our rapid response team is also available 24/7 to perform emergency repairs, addressing major issues before they cause damage to the rest of your property.
Our team can advise you on potential upgrades, such as replacing older pipes with newer equivalents made of stronger materials, upgrading valves and pumps or switching to higher-capacity piping to meet increasing demand.
Site Preparation
Once your construction site has been cleared of unwanted structures or vegetation and mulched, the Howell & Simmons Construction & Paving Inc. crew can proceed with final site preparation.
We will use state-of-the-art excavators, dozers, graders and other necessary equipment to create a smooth, safe worksite ready for further construction, including concrete work and asphalt paving. Our site preparation tasks include:
