Occasionally, the sewer lateral can deteriorate significantly, reaching a point where it collapses due to a variety of factors, including age, corrosion, tree roots, ground movement, or a combination of these elements. In such cases, specific conditions, such as pipe collapse or severely offset joints, may arise, needing excavation.

At Sewer Ninjas, we strive to minimize the need for excavation whenever possible. Nevertheless, we are proficient in both exterior and interior basement excavation, as the project dictates. Frequently, we employ our video camera and locating tools to pinpoint the issue within the sewer pipe. Subsequently, we can excavate a single hole to access the known problem and rectify it. Following this, we have the capability to reline the remaining sections of the pipe upstream and downstream, all without the need for further excavation. In the most dire situations, we are prepared to excavate the entire length of the sewer lateral pipe and replace it. Safety, property protection, and preservation are paramount concerns in all of our projects.
