Before beginning any repairs, your excavation contractor should perform a thorough inspection of your sewer line to determine the extent of any damage. Most companies will do so by feeding a special video camera through the sewer lines, which allows them to pinpoint exactly where the problem is. After the inspection, the contractor should go over different options to find a good fit for your needs and budget.  At Earthworks Excavating, it’s our goal to make repairs and replacements as easy and cost-effective as possible. That’s why we try to find trenchless solutions that allow us to access the sewer line without needing to dig up your entire property. Though the exact process will depend on the work that needs to be performed, trenchless repairs and replacements involve digging small access points and using specialized equipment to reach the pipes while underground.
