Establish the Pipe Problem Before Opening the Ground
Excavation means digging to reach buried plumbing for repair or replacement. A backup alone does not prove excavation is needed. Inspection findings and the condition of the line help distinguish a blockage that can be cleaned from damage requiring physical access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are landscaping repairs automatically included?
Do not assume they are. Discuss the affected surfaces and the extent of reinstatement included with the plumbing work.
Why is utility locating discussed before excavation?
Buried utilities can be present near the work area. Locating and other safe-digging preparation need to be addressed before the ground is opened.
What should an excavation proposal explain?
It should identify the pipe concern, recommended repair, access area and associated site work. Ask for clarification on any part of the proposed scope.
Can earlier sewer inspection findings be useful?
Yes. Share the findings when arranging service. They provide context, while the current pipe condition still needs consideration.
Does every sewer backup require excavation?
No. A blockage may be cleared without digging. Excavation is considered when the pipe condition or required work makes physical access necessary.
