Why choose sewer ninjas?
When trenchless isn’t an option, excavation repair gets the job done.
Trusted for complete and partial sewer line replacement.
Some sewer lines are too damaged for trenchless methods—like when pipes are fully collapsed, severely offset, or made of materials beyond repair. In these cases, excavation repair and full or targeted replacement is the only long-term solution. While it requires digging, this approach ensures every section of damaged pipe is removed and replaced with durable new piping, giving homeowners a fresh start and peace of mind.

In both the initial assessment and the actual work, the guys came in quickly and effectively got the work done. they were very open to sharing what they were doing and answering all my questions. I thought this was really important since most homeowners (like me) don't know how their sewers work and need to trust the people doing the work.
Fantastic business. Owner Eric really knows his stuff and tech Jeff as well who is always on time professional and easy going. I’ve worked with them multiple times as a homeowner and realtor. Always my first recommendation. Sure… things can get expensive but you wouldn’t complain about a roof costing 10k so why complain about getting you SEWER fixed?? 10/10
We were referred to Sewer Ninjas by Milwaukee Drain Company after discovering we needed our sewer cleaned—but quickly realized we didn’t have an access point due to the old plumbing in our Milwaukee bungalow. Even though our first appointment had a hiccup, Jeff stepped in immediately, resolved the issue, and truly went above and beyond to make things right. He was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Sewer Ninjas turned a frustrating situation into a smooth, stress-free experience. We’ll definitely be working with them again in the future—top-notch service and a great partner to have on your side!
After unsuccessful snaking, this company was recommended, and I could not be happier. From the after hours call the owner made to us to the actual sewer line clean out, these workers are professional and respectful of the home they are in. Everything was fully explained, and the work site mess was at an absolute minimum. They said they would get it open or be able to show why not and were men of their word, issue solved and pipe open as they said they would do. Would not hesitate to recommend this company, fast, quality work, a rarity these days.
Sewer Ninjas is an honest company that strives to provide the best work possible for their customers. We had a series of tree roots growing through our sewer line, and the team scheduled an appointment quickly and removed them. They documented everything with video which made the insurance claim very easy. We also had them reline the existing pipe, and while that process did have a few hiccups, the team returned multiple times to correct the issues and ensure the job met their standards. This definitely impacted the profitability of the job, but Sewer Ninjas prioritized job quality and the long-term health of our home. They offer a strong warranty, and given my experience, I have no doubt they will stand behind it if future issues arise. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Sewer Ninjas Q&A
Excavation repair is necessary when sewer lines are fully collapsed, severely offset, or too deteriorated for relining or bursting. In these cases, digging allows our team to access the damaged section directly and replace it with durable new piping.
The cost of sewer excavation repair depends on factors like pipe depth, length, soil conditions, and accessibility. While it is more labor-intensive than trenchless methods, it provides a complete, long-lasting replacement when other options aren’t possible.
Yes! Sewer Ninjas offers financing options too.
