Much of City Plumbing pro excavation work involves digging up existing water and sewer lines and repairing the damaged pipe sections or replacing the entire pipeline. This can be a small job or a large one, depending on the region of the country and the severity of the damage. For instance, sewer and water lines in South Texas and Florida only lie a few feet beneath the ground because of a shallow frost depth and lack of basements. However, in colder climates, some sewer systems are buried anywhere from 4 to an even 18 feet underground. The depth is mandated by climate, depth of connecting infrastructure and local plumbing codes. The shallowest lines can be repaired by small City Plumbing pro crews with shovels. However, deeper sewer and water lines require larger, more sophisticated excavation equipment, like backhoes, mini excavators or other heavy duty machinery.
