What is Plumbing Excavation?

We're moving the Earth and tackling your exterior plumbing needs!

When you think of the term "excavation," you probably think of construction work: contractors might use an excavator to level out the ground for home, deck, or pool building. However, plumbing excavation serves a bit of a different purpose. Although we do need to use excavation equipment to achieve our goals, those goals are not the same. Plumbing excavation refers to the process of digging into the ground to either repair or install sewage lines, water lines, or gas lines. 

Do you have trees planted close to your home? If you do, you may eventually consider our plumbing excavation services. Why? Because tree roots can grow on-top of or around pipe lines underneath the soil, and they can puncture the pipes, disrupting the supply of water or gas to your home. Blockage in general is a main reason for excavation. If a pipe is blocked, it can cause major damage to your building.

Another key reason for excavation is installation. If you want to extend your business or home, we will need to add new lines in the ground so that your new extension functions properly. Lastly, it may be necessary to replace your pipes after a long period of time. Most pipes are extremely durable, but after awhile, they can corrode and rust. That's where replacing them and addressing the problem at its source becomes vital. 

If you are experiencing any of these issues, you're in luck. Prestige Plumbing has the experience these duties require, offering top-of-the-line plumbing service near Dalton, Ohio. Should you run into an emergency, we're always here for you! Give us a call at 330-828-8888 or reach us in Stark County at 330-837-7777.
