How long does a traditional sewer excavation take?

It depends on several factors. A straightforward job usually takes within the ballpark of 1 to 3 days. More complex jobs with extensive piping replacements or difficult materials like concrete and asphalt can add significant time. Your team will always give you a breakdown of what to expect and how long the service will take.

If my sewer keeps backing up after multiple cleanings do I need an excavation?

Recurring issues are a red flag that there’s probably a more serious problem with your sewer lines. As sections collapse or a major tree root invasion occurs temporary relief quickly fades away. We’ll run a camera inspection to get a visual on the problem and suggest the best course of action to get things flowing again.

If a damaged sewer line is under my driveway, will the entire area need to be excavated?

Not always, no. Before getting started on the full sewer excavation in Wausau, WI, your team will run a camera inspection to pinpoint the damaged area. This will help them minimize digging as much as possible to hopefully avoid more excavation than necessary. Any part of the driveway in question that has to be removed will be replaced afterward.

Signs You Need Sewer Excavation Services

If you notice multiple drains all struggling at once, you need more than just drain cleaning help. Watch out for toilets, floor drains and other fixtures all backing up together.
Listen for odd gurgling sounds from drains and toilets. Noticing this sound means that air is being forced back into the fixture, most likely due to a problem with your sewer lines.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side but it’s also green over a sewer line leak. Random patches of vibrant green grass on your property can indicate a hidden leak below ground.
You should never smell sewage anywhere on your property. Picking up on the smell means there’s probably a breach somewhere in your sewer lines leaking sewage into the area.
