Some construction problems cannot be solved from the top down. In many Texas homes and commercial properties, the real issue lies beneath the structure, where utilities, soil movement, or foundation components require careful access. At BMB Construction, tunneling services are designed to reach those critical areas without unnecessary demolition, preserving what matters above ground while addressing what matters most below it.
Texas soil conditions, shifting clay, aging infrastructure, and utility failures often demand a precise approach. Instead of breaking through floors or removing large sections of concrete, BMB Construction uses strategic tunneling to create controlled access points under foundations. This method protects the structural integrity of the property while allowing repairs to be completed efficiently and accurately.
Why is Tunneling the Smarter Solution?
Tunneling is the smarter solution because it provides targeted access to critical areas beneath a structure without unnecessary demolition or disruption above. It is not about cutting corners but about choosing the right approach for the problem, allowing construction teams to work below a home or business while preserving structural integrity and minimizing impact to the property.
At BMB Construction, tunneling is often used for:
- Foundation repairs that require access to beams, piers, or plumbing lines
- Utility repairs beneath slabs, including sewer and water lines
- Structural stabilization where soil conditions have shifted
- Drainage solutions that must be installed below existing structures
This approach minimizes disruption, reduces repair time, and avoids unnecessary cosmetic damage. Homeowners and property managers can move forward with confidence knowing the repair is focused, intentional, and designed to last.
Precision Matters Below the Surface
Every tunneling project begins with a careful evaluation of the structure, soil conditions, and repair objectives. BMB Construction does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each tunnel is planned to provide direct access to the problem area while maintaining safety and stability throughout the process.
The crew uses controlled excavation techniques that allow them to work in confined spaces without compromising the surrounding soil. Structural supports are maintained, and the tunnel is restored properly once repairs are complete. This level of precision is essential in Texas, where soil expansion and contraction can quickly worsen improperly handled repairs.
Brad Biggar, founder of BMB Construction, often explains to clients, “When we tunnel under a home, we are not guessing. We plan every step so we can fix the real issue without creating new ones. The goal is always to protect your home while doing the job the right way.”
How Does Tunneling Protect What Homeowners Value Most?
Tunneling protects what homeowners value most by avoiding unnecessary damage to their home and property. Traditional repair methods often require breaking through interior floors, removing landscaping, or tearing out large sections of concrete, which can be disruptive, costly, and stressful. Tunneling allows repairs to be completed below the structure, preserving finishes, landscaping, and daily livability while addressing the problem at its source.
BMB Construction prioritizes solutions that respect the home and the people living in it. By accessing repair areas from below, the team helps preserve:
- Interior finishes and flooring
- Exterior landscaping and hardscaping
- Driveways, patios, and walkways
- Overall structural integrity of the building
This approach is especially valuable for occupied homes and active commercial properties, where minimizing downtime and disruption is critical.
Experience Makes the Difference
Tunneling is not a service that should be handled by inexperienced crews. It requires knowledge of structural systems, soil behavior, and safety protocols. BMB Construction brings hands-on experience to every tunneling project, ensuring each phase is executed with care and professionalism.
The team understands how Texas soil behaves beneath foundations and how improper excavation can lead to future issues. That is why every tunnel is reinforced and restored correctly once repairs are completed. The work does not stop at access. It extends through long-term stability.
A Strategic Investment in Long-Term Stability
Choosing tunneling services is not just about solving a current problem. It is about preventing future damage. By addressing issues at their source, BMB Construction helps homeowners and property owners avoid recurring repairs and escalating costs.
Tunneling supports long-term stability by allowing repairs to be made where they are truly needed. Whether the issue involves foundation movement, plumbing failures, or structural access, this method ensures repairs are thorough and durable.
