Excavation FAQ
Sewer excavation is the process of digging to access underground sewer pipes for inspection, repair, or replacement. It's used when trenchless methods aren't feasible due to pipe condition, material, or location constraints.
We take great care to minimize property disruption. After completing the work, we properly backfill, compact, and restore the excavation site. We'll discuss the full scope and restoration plan with you before work begins.
Sewer line depth varies by location, typically ranging from 3 to 10 feet. Our crew uses proper shoring and safety techniques for all excavation depths to ensure worker safety and structural integrity.
