Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of projects require excavation services?

    Excavation is commonly required for installing or repairing underground pipes, stormwater systems, and sewer lines. It’s also essential for new home builds, landscaping, drainage upgrades and foundation preparation. Professional excavation ensures the right depth, slope and stability are achieved for long-term performance and safety.

  • How deep do plumbers need to dig for drainage or water lines?

    The depth of an excavation depends on factors like soil conditions, frost levels and local council regulations. In most cases, drainage pipes are buried at least 300mm to 600mm below ground, while deeper trenches may be needed for sewer lines or larger infrastructure.

  • Is council approval needed for excavation work?

    Yes, certain excavation projects may require council approval, particularly when they involve public land, easements or significant alterations to ground levels. Licensed contractors handle the necessary permits, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations.

Built on Safety & Precision

Excavation work requires a careful balance between technical skill and safety awareness. We begin each job with a detailed site assessment to identify underground utilities, soil type and access limitations. Using specialised machinery, our experienced operators dig with precision to avoid damage to existing infrastructure while creating the necessary space for plumbing, drainage or foundation work. The process also includes backfilling and compaction to restore ground stability once the work is complete.


Accurate excavation not only ensures the success of plumbing and construction projects but also reduces long-term risks, such as soil movement or water pooling. Our professional excavation services help projects stay compliant, safe and cost-efficient. Get in touch today to schedule reliable excavation work tailored to your project needs.
