Excavation Services on O'ahu

Not always. For many sewer line problems, trenchless pipe repair methods — pipe lining or pipe bursting — fix the problem with minimal or no trenching. We always start with a camera inspection to determine whether trenchless is viable before recommending excavation.

We use video camera inspection to identify the problem location, combined with a locator that marks the camera's position on the surface above. This gives us the exact location and depth before a shovel goes in the ground — minimizing the excavation footprint.

We restore the excavated area by backfilling and compacting. For concrete or asphalt surfaces, we can coordinate a concrete contractor or paving contractor to complete the surface restoration — or you can arrange this independently. We'll be clear about what's included in our scope.

Always. Hawaii 811 (Call Before You Dig) is required by law before any excavation. We request utility locates for every job and respect the marking process. This protects you, us, and all the utility infrastructure on your property.

Residential sewer lines on O'ahu are typically 2–6 feet deep, though this varies by property age and topography. The camera locator tells us exactly how deep the problem is before we determine the best approach.
