Water and Sewer Line Excavation Services

FG Excavation LLC handles water and sewer line installation and repair excavation for properties in Wenatchee, Washington.

Your water or sewer line has failed, or you are adding a new service connection in Wenatchee, and the work requires digging through your yard, driveway, or landscaping to reach the damaged or missing section. Whether you are dealing with a burst water main, a collapsed sewer lateral, or a new construction hookup, the excavation must be done quickly, cleanly, and with full awareness of frost depth, soil type, and existing utilities. FG Excavation LLC works with plumbers and utility crews to open access, support the repair or installation, and restore your property once the line is back in service.

Water and sewer line excavation involves trenching to the required depth, exposing the damaged or connection point, and providing a stable work area for the plumber or utility contractor. This includes managing spoil, shoring trench walls when necessary, and backfilling with clean material that will not settle or compromise the line. FG Excavation LLC is familiar with Wenatchee soil conditions, access challenges, and the coordination required to restore service as quickly as possible. The company offers around-the-clock emergency response for water and sewer failures that cannot wait.

How the Excavation and Backfill Process Works

Your water or sewer line excavation in Wenatchee starts with locating the problem area or connection point and marking any nearby utilities. Equipment opens a trench to the depth required by code and site conditions, with spoil staged to allow plumber access and avoid blocking driveways or walkways. Hand tools are used near gas, electric, or communication lines to prevent accidental strikes.

Once the line is repaired or installed and inspected, you will see the trench backfilled in compacted layers, graded to match the surrounding surface, and cleared of excess soil and debris. Your driveway, lawn, or landscaping is returned to a stable condition, and any temporary barriers or equipment are removed. The site is left ready for final surface restoration or seeding.

FG Excavation LLC coordinates with plumbers and inspectors to keep the job moving and minimize downtime. The company uses equipment appropriate for the site and adjusts methods based on weather, soil moisture, and access constraints. Emergency excavation is available when a water or sewer failure requires immediate response, and the company prioritizes clean, safe job sites with proper backfill to prevent future settling or line stress.

Let Us Address Your Questions First

Homeowners dealing with water or sewer line issues often have concerns about timing, cost, and what the excavation will do to their property, so here are answers to the most common questions.

How long does it take to excavate and backfill a water or sewer line repair?
Most residential repairs in Wenatchee are excavated, repaired, and backfilled within one to two days, depending on depth, access, and whether the line needs inspection before backfill. Emergency work may proceed faster.
What happens to my lawn or driveway after the trench is backfilled?
The trench is compacted and graded to match the surrounding surface. You may need to reseed grass or schedule asphalt or concrete repair separately, depending on what was excavated.
Why does sewer line excavation sometimes require deeper trenches than water lines?
Sewer lines rely on gravity and must slope downward toward the main, which can require deeper excavation depending on your property's elevation and the distance to the connection point.
What should I do if I smell sewage or see water pooling in my yard?
Contact a plumber immediately to assess the problem, then call FG Excavation LLC for emergency excavation if line access is needed. Sewer and water failures can worsen quickly and affect neighboring properties.
How does FG Excavation LLC handle frost depth and winter excavation?
Trenches are dug below the frost line to prevent future freezing, and excavation methods are adjusted for frozen or saturated soil. Winter repairs are completed with the same care as warmer-weather work.
