Sewer Excavation in Chicagoland

When you have serious problems in your sewer pipes, Center Guard Plumbing provides comprehensive sewer excavation solutions to replace and protect your pipes. We provide expert excavation services that minimize disruption, target the source of the problem, and give you peace of mind from major and recurring sewage issues.

Why Plumbing Excavation Is Essential

Plumbing problems can go deeper than clogs in the pipes. When you have seriously damaged or compromised pipes under your home and trenchless repairs aren’t a long-term solution, plumbers can’t fix the problems with remote tools and scopes. They need to dig up severely damaged pipes to make sewer system repairs or replace them. While plumbing excavation is a big project, it can permanently address structural damage and recurring sewer backups or contamination.

Common Causes Requiring Sewer Excavation

Whenever we can, we turn to clog removal and trenchless repairs that minimize disruption to your property. But damage, severe clogs, and other problems can require sewer line excavation to get the job done right. We provide plumbing excavation when there are:

Severe Pipe Blockages and Clogs: Hydrojetting and snaking can’t eliminate serious clogs and buildup, especially for older homes or commercial properties.
Tree Root Infiltration: Thirsty tree roots can dig into the pipes in pipes or any hairline cracks, quickly growing to clog the entire pipe and damage the sewage system.
Collapsed Sewer Line or Broken Pipes: Shifting soil, heavy aboveground weight, and older pipes can start to crack, crumble, and entirely collapse. Sewer excavation is the only way to remove the broken pipes and replace them with new ones.
Corrosion and Deterioration: Cast iron and clay pipes from older styles of construction have a relatively short lifespan. Minerals in the water and soil corrode and weaken them over time until they break down and contaminate the water.
Bellied or Misaligned Pipes: Some pipes will bend or “belly” over time, creating low spots that trap waste and allow dangerous clogs to develop.
Outdated Sewer Systems: Older Chicagoland communities have older piping systems, and modern demand can overwhelm them. Sewer pipe excavation allows for sewer line replacement with new technologies and materials.

These problems can’t wait or make do with short-term solutions. Failing to solve them immediately can cause sewer backups and extensive damage or danger. That’s why we offer extensive emergency sewer excavation and collapsed sewer line repair options around the clock.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan was absolutely amazing with fixing our plumbing issues. He was back and fourth to my house a couple times and explained everything so detailed to us even. I would 100 percent recommend him to ANYONE. Debbie and the night receptionist (I dont know her name) were great to deal with too. I did have a problem though with their manager Chris who was supposed to call us back multiple times and never did until I called continously who when I finally got ahold of him was pretty short with his answers and I seemed like I was a bother to speak to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen came out to fix my garbage disposal today. He was very prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I thought for sure, it was going to have to be replaced. In no time he had it up and running, no problem. I asked about the leaking, so he tried every which way to get it to leak, with no success. He tightened a couple of things just in case. I will definitely call again, if needed!
