Excavation for Sewer Lines in Columbus, OH

If you’re noticing a leak or blockage in your sewer line, excavation might be necessary. The best way to prevent damage from happening is to know how to tell if you need excavation.

Look for cracks and breaks in the pipe’s walls. If it’s a minor crack, you may be able to fix it yourself with some epoxy glue or another kind of sealant that works well on PVC pipes. However, if there are signs of major damage like large chunks missing from the pipes’ exterior surface or if they’ve been punctured by roots or rocks lodged inside them (or both), then these issues will only worsen over time unless they’re addressed immediately by professional drain cleaners in Columbus like us at Columbus Plumbing & Drain!

Be careful not to disturb any underground wires while doing this kind of work—especially if those wires belong under your home’s foundation!

Sewage Line Trenching in Franklin County

Sewage line trenching is a process of digging a trench along the length of your sewage line. Sewer lines can be buried vertically or horizontally, depending on where they’re located in your home and neighborhood. Trenching is necessary to prevent or repair any damage to the pipes, which carry wastewater away from your home.

In order to perform this type of work, you need to hire a professional contractor who knows how to use specialty equipment like augers and backhoes. There are many benefits that come along with using these tools:

  • They allow workers to dig deeper faster than they could by hand alone (which saves time and money)
  • They cause minimal damage to surrounding surfaces, so you don’t have to worry about repairing walls after the work ends
  • You won’t need access to any walls since everything happens below ground level

What is sewer and drain cleaning?

Sewer and drain cleaning can be a confusing topic, so let’s break it down.

What are sewers and drains? Sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater (water from sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets) to wastewater treatment facilities or septic systems. Drainage pipes carry water away from buildings to storm drains or other locations that prevent flooding.

How do I know if I need my sewer or drain cleaned? Check if there is any backup in your home that can be caused by blockages in the sewer line underneath your property, as well as blockages within the plumbing system inside your house itself. A clogged sink can result in an overflow of water onto floors which may cause damage to furniture, carpeting, etc., while clogs within toilet bowls will cause toilet bowls not to empty properly, leaving foul odors lingering around bathrooms all day long!

Do most homes have a sewer cleaning drain?

In most cases, you will need a sewer cleaning drain. However, not all homes have one. If your home has a sewer line but no drain, the wastewater in your home goes into the main sewer line to be transported to a wastewater treatment plant or natural body of water.

If your home has both a sewer line and drain system, this means that there is an independent pipe inside the house that runs directly from the toilet or other plumbing fixtures to an underground access point called a cleanout. The cleanout provides access for plumbers to perform routine maintenance on these pipes without having to dig multiple feet down into the ground every time they want some work done!

Do all houses have a sewer cleanout?

The answer to this question depends on the plumbing system in your home. In most cases, there is a main sewer line that runs from the house to the sewer line in the street. However, some homes have different systems:

A main sewer line that goes directly to a sewage treatment plant or septic tank (abbreviated MSDW)

A main sewer line that goes directly to a city sewer line (abbreviated MSDC).
