Professional Excavation and Pipe Repair

Types of Pipe Problems that Require Excavation

Not every pipe problem requires digging – but when it does, it’s important to act fast and work with a crew that understands how to do it safely and efficiently. Excavation may be needed when:

  • Your main water or sewer line has collapsed
  • You have persistent flooding or sewage backups in the basement
  • Tree roots have broken through buried piping
  • Pipes are too damaged to reline or patch internally
  • Previous repairs have failed and the issue keeps coming back

Our team uses camera inspections first to locate and assess the problem, then carefully excavates only where necessary, minimizing as much property disruption as possible.

What Happens During an Excavation Job?

The process starts with a thorough inspection using specialized cameras and leak detection tools (see more on our Camera Inspection page). This helps us map the exact location of the problem before we dig. Once confirmed, our team will mark out utility lines, prepare the site, and safely expose the damaged area.

From there, we’ll either replace the damaged section of pipe, or if appropriate, install a full new line. Once the plumbing work is done, we’ll backfill the excavation and, whenever possible, restore landscaping or surfaces that were disturbed.

Depending on weather, access, and soil conditions, most excavation and pipe repair jobs take about one to two days to complete.

Sewer Line Pipe Belly


Sewer Line vs. Water Line Repair

Sewer and water line repairs are two different types of underground fixes that require different solutions for their specific challenges.

Sewer lines require precise slope and flow calculations to avoid backups. Sewer tie-ins must meet strict city inspection and permitting requirements.

Water lines must be pressure-rated and sanitized before reconnecting. These upgrades often need full trenching from the curb to your home’s shutoff.

With underground work being required, we can handle both the city permits and inspections needed, and help with all of the documentation for compliance.


Get Ahead of Major Plumbing Damage

If you’ve noticed soggy patches in the yard, sudden drops in water pressure, or gurgling drains that don’t go away, those could be early signs of a deeper issue underground. These types of damages can escalate quickly if not addressed.

Call The Gentlemen Pros today for professional underground pipe inspections, trenching, and full-service repair. We’re here to keep your plumbing, and your property, safe and sound.
