A sewer pipe dig-up involves excavating the ground or concrete above a damaged sewer pipe so it can be repaired or replaced. Dig-ups are required when sewer pipes are collapsed, crushed, or too damaged for internal repairs like pipe relining.
A CCTV sewer camera inspection shows whether the pipe is cracked, collapsed, misaligned, or missing sections. If the pipe cannot structurally support relining, excavation is required for a permanent repair.
Pipe relining is preferred when possible because it avoids excavation. However, if a sewer pipe is fully collapsed or severely damaged, a dig-up is the only compliant and permanent solution.
We perform targeted excavations, using pipe locating and CCTV to minimise digging. Where concrete cutting is required, it is done in a controlled manner with reinstatement options available.
Most sewer pipe dig-ups take 1–3 days, depending on pipe depth, access, and the extent of damage.
