Excavation & Sewer Line Repair
Excavation and underground sewer line repair for homes and businesses across the Dayton area.
A failing sewer line affects more than one drain. Several drains may back up at once, toilets may gurgle, and you may smell sewage in the basement. You might also see a soft, wet patch in the yard above the line. In older neighborhoods, clay and cast iron lines crack, shift, and let tree roots in. When cleaning won't fix it, the line has to be dug up. We handle excavation and underground plumbing work for homes and businesses across the Dayton area, from Miamisburg to Bellbrook. We find the trouble spot first so we only dig where we need to. Before any digging, underground utilities are marked through Ohio811. Then we repair or replace the damaged section, make sure the line drains properly, and backfill the trench. You'll get upfront pricing and a plain explanation of what we found.

Common questions
How do I know if it's the sewer line and not just a clogged drain?
A single slow sink is usually a local clog. If several drains back up at the same time, especially the lowest ones in the house, the main line is the likely problem. Sewage smells or a wet spot in the yard point the same way.
Will I know what the repair involves before you dig?
Yes. We'll explain what we found and what the repair involves before any digging starts.
Will you need to dig up my whole yard?
Not usually. We locate the problem area first and only excavate where the repair is needed. When the work is done, we backfill the trench.
