The Detail
Excavation Repair Built Around Homeowners
This spoke of our Sewer & Water Line Excavation Repair service is built around homeowners specifically — a full pipe collapse, severe offset, or undersized line under your yard that a trenchless liner or coating can't fix, repaired with a traditional dig-and-replace approach.
In Practice
Planning Around Your Yard and Driveway
For most homeowners, the biggest question isn't the pipe — it's the yard. If landscaping, a driveway, or a hardscape feature sits in the excavation path, we walk through what that means and what restoration will look like before any digging starts, so it's part of your written estimate rather than a surprise once the trench is open.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When does a home need excavation repair instead of trenchless lining?
When the pipe has fully collapsed, has a severe belly or offset, or needs to be upsized — conditions a trenchless liner or coating can't correct from the inside. Our camera inspection tells us which situation you're in.
Will excavation tear up my whole yard?
No — we excavate only the path the repair requires, and we set restoration-scope expectations for your landscaping, driveway, or hardscape in the estimate before any digging starts.
How much does residential excavation repair cost?
Sewer line work starts at $60 per linear foot and water line work starts at $15 per linear foot, plus $150 per permit pulled. Every home gets a free estimate and a quote before work begins.
Do you restore my driveway or landscaping after digging?
Yes — restoration is part of the agreed scope in your estimate, covering lawn, driveway, or hardscape disturbed by the excavation.
Can I finance a residential excavation repair?
Yes — TDS Trenchless customers can use Regions Bank 12-month same-as-cash financing, with no monthly payments and no interest if paid within the term.
