The pipes running under your property are easy to forget until one of them quits. When that happens, a quick fix at the surface won’t solve it, and that’s when excavation comes in.
Dayton sits on a mix of older neighborhoods and rural properties with wells, septic systems, and long service lines, so the reasons for digging vary.
Broken or Collapsed Sewer Mains
When a main line cracks or caves in, waste has nowhere to go and ends up backing into the house. If you’ve had a backup that returns no matter how often the line gets cleared, the pipe is likely the issue. For sewer line excavation in Dayton, we pinpoint the failure with a camera, dig straight to it, and replace that run so everything flows the way it should.
Roots and Hard-to-Reach Lines
Tree roots love the water inside a sewer pipe, and over the years, they push into joints and split the line open. Some Dayton-area homes also lack an easy cleanout, which makes a clog harder to reach. We have handled lines with no cleanout by working from the right access point and putting in proper plumbing once we are there. When roots have done too much damage, we dig out the affected section and replace it with a sealed pipe.
Old Pipe, Water Lines, and Well Systems
An aging pipe can corrode, crack, and leak, and a buried water service line or well connection failure can leave you without clean water. When a line is beyond repair, pipe excavation lets us dig it up and put in a new, modern pipe. We also excavate for new water service runs, well system components, and other buried connections when a job calls for getting underground.
Common Signs It May Be Time to Dig
Plenty of plumbing problems are simple fixes. These signs, though, point to a buried pipe issue, and excavation may be the best way to resolve it.
Keep an eye out for:
- The same drain or the whole house backs up over and over, even right after a cleaning.
- There is a wet, sunken, or oddly lush strip of yard that has no other cause.
- You catch a sewage odor outdoors or near a drain that simply will not clear.
- Your water pressure drops, or your well system acts up alongside a damp patch outside.
- A camera inspection turns up a break, sag, or root-packed section that cleaning will not cure.
