DIY vs. Professional Excavation

Sewer line backyard excavation projects have a reputation for being pricey, so some people might consider a DIY approach rather than hire a professional.

While the prospect of renting equipment to dig up your and repair or replace your damaged sewer line may seem plausible or even tempting for cost-saving reasons, you’ll need to call the professionals for the following reasons:

Permits and Regulations

Most jurisdictions require an excavation permit for any utility work that disrupts the surface or obstructs any street, public place, alley, or public right-of-way. Moreover, an excavation permit may require you to have the proper licenses, permits, and insurance to do the job right.

As far as regulations go, you must adhere to strict guidelines. For example, you want to contact your local authority to determine the correct minimum depth of a sewer line. Colder regions often require deeper trenches than the recommended 12 to 14 inches deep to prevent the sewer pipes from freezing.

Excavation Equipment and Techniques

Professional sewer repair and replacement companies use specialized excavation equipment and tools to handle sewer line issues effectively. Common sewer excavation equipment includes light machinery for trench digging, backhoes, hydro-excavation equipment, mini excavators, and more.

The type of equipment typically depends on the nature and scope of the project. Trust our competent personnel to determine the best excavation equipment and techniques for your project.
