Frequently Asked Questions
What is sewer excavation?
Sewer excavation is the process of digging into the ground to access, repair, or replace damaged sewer lines.
I was told I have tree roots and the sewer line needs to be replaced. Is this true?
Not in all cases. In most cases, a light to moderate root intrusion can be controlled by jetting and scouring the line and then using a chemical maintenance program to keep the roots at bay. In other cases, however, the only option is repair or replacement. You can always contact Ranck’s expert excavation team to come out, scope the line and assess the problem, even if it’s just needing a second opinion of the situation.
Who is responsible for the sewer line on my property?
The homeowner is responsible for sewer line on their property. In some areas, the homeowner is responsible for the entire line to the main. Always check with your municipality if you are unsure.
How bad will my yard look after you complete your work?
We take great care in doing the most minimum damage to your yard and property, leaving no trace behind. We have a reputation of being neat and tidy with our projects, as well as planting grass seeds, if needed, in the area the work was completed. In many cases, there can be very little evidence that we were even there.
Do I need to worry about getting permits for an excavation project with Ranck?
No. Ranck will take care of all permits and legalities needed to do the project.
When is sewer excavation necessary?
It’s required when sewer lines are severely damaged, collapsed, or blocked beyond repair.
How long does sewer excavation take?
Most projects take 1–3 days depending on the complexity and size of the job.
Is sewer excavation disruptive?
Yes, it involves digging, but our team minimizes disruption and restores your property after completion.
How much does sewer excavation cost?
Costs vary based on depth, length, and damage. Contact us for an accurate estimate.
Can tree roots damage sewer lines?
Yes. Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage and often require excavation for full repair.
