  • Sewer pipes gradually erode over time, and if they’re not properly maintained, they will collapse. Although such issues are more common in older homes that use materials such as Orangeburg, they can occur in any sewer system.

  • We can fix minor root intrusions using hydro jetting, but if those tree roots have spread through large sections of piping and caused serious damage, we may need to excavate.

  • A “belly” is a sag in your sewer pipe, usually caused by ground shifting, settling soil, or poor installation. It creates a dip that accumulates water and waste, leading to frequent clogs and backups.

  • Where possible, we can use trenchless methods for broken sewer pipe repair, but if your pipes are too old or damaged, we may need to excavate. Our technicians will walk you through the options, steps, and timeline following an initial inspection and diagnosis.

Our Residential Sewer Excavation Process

Before we call on the excavators, we need to know what we’re dealing with and whether underground sewer excavation is even necessary. All Mr. Rooter® technicians are equipped with high-tech video cameras that they can snake into your sewer lines to assess the damage and diagnose the issue.

Armed with that information, they’ll discuss options with you and then plan the excavation process, including marking utilities and planning a targeted dig to access damaged sections without digging unnecessary holes.

We use highly durable and long-lasting materials when replacing your pipes, after which we’ll check that everything is working as it should, backfill the area, and clean up.

Types of Sewer Pipes We Replace

We replace all types of pipes, from clay/terracotta and Orangeburg pipes seen in older homes to galvanized pipes and more. If your lines were improperly installed, we can conduct a main sewer line repair and ensure everything is up to code.

Protecting Your Property During Excavation

Excavation is messy work, but by utilizing a controlled, targeted dig, we’ll minimize damage to your yard and protect your foundations and driveway. Once the job is done, we won’t leave you with a mess and will backfill and refinish the area using proper grading and compacting.
