Sewer Line Excavation in Downriver Area, Michigan

Excavation is needed when the pipe itself is structurally damaged, not just clogged. A camera inspection of your sewer line will show whether you have cracks, collapsed sections, or separated joints that cleaning cannot fix.

We dig only where the damaged section of pipe is located, so the trench is limited to the affected area. After the new pipe is set, we backfill and compact the trench to restore your yard's surface.

Yes, root intrusion can split pipe joints or collapse older clay pipe sections entirely, which requires excavation and replacement. If roots have only partially blocked an intact pipe, other options may apply, but a camera inspection confirms which situation you have.

Yes, we work on older residential properties throughout New Boston and the surrounding 48164 zip code. Many homes in this area have aging clay or cast iron sewer lines that are past their service life.

After the new pipe section is in place, we backfill the trench in layers and compact the soil to reduce settling. We leave the work area as clean and level as site conditions allow.

Excavation is required when a pipe is collapsed, severely offset, or too deteriorated to support a liner. A camera inspection determines whether your line is a candidate for a less invasive repair method or needs full excavation.
