A plumbing dig-up involves excavating the ground, concrete, or surface above a damaged drain to access and replace broken sewer or stormwater pipes. Dig-ups are required when pipes are collapsed or too damaged to repair internally.
A CCTV drain inspection shows whether the pipe is cracked, collapsed, misaligned, or missing sections. If the pipe cannot support relining or repair, excavation is required.
Pipe relining is preferred when possible because it avoids excavation. However, if a pipe is fully collapsed or crushed, a dig-up is the only permanent solution. We always recommend the least invasive option first.
When required, we perform controlled concrete cutting and targeted excavation. We minimise disruption and reinstate surfaces where possible.
Most dig-ups are completed within 1–3 days, depending on depth, access, and pipe length.
