We understand the thought of digging up your yard, landscaping, or driveway can be devastating. While in most cases we can rehabilitate your sewer line without digging, there are rare occasions when sewer excavation cannot be avoided. When our expert team does do a sewer excavation in Indiana, we strive to minimize any damage or disruption.
What Is a Sewer Excavation?
Sewer line excavation refers to the process of digging up the ground to access, repair or replace sewage pipes. In this process, it’s necessary to dig holes on both sides of the pipe, as well as around it.
Sewer lines are typically anywhere from 4-8 feet deep, however it can be more or less depending on the property. After the pipes are uncovered, that’s when the repairs can begin. It can be a complex process, which is why you want the help of professionals, such as the dedicated team at NuFlow Indy.

“I am sure that for them, it would have been easier to have broken the sidewalk. But, this is a small example that shows that they care about their clients beyond just the task at hand.”

Excavating for Cleanout Installation
The most common reason we’ll need to excavate on your property is a cleanout installation. If your home doesn’t have an exterior sewer cleanout, a municipality may require us to install one. Marion County requires an exterior sewer cleanout installation. You also may voluntarily choose to install a cleanout for better access to your sewer lines, which is especially important in the case of a sewer emergency. We recommend having an exterior sewer cleanout. It’s a wise investment in your Indiana property.
Cleanout installation requires us to dig on a small portion of your property. Even if we have to dig to install a cleanout before lining your sewer pipes, our trenchless technology will make the project far less destructive than traditional sewer line repair.
In the event that you have a collapsed spot in your line, we can excavate this spot and install a cleanout, so that we can avoid digging in two places. While traditional plumbers will have to dig the length of the new pipe and around the new cleanout, NuFlow Indy will only excavate for the sewer cleanout installation. We’ll use the newly installed cleanout to insert our liner and fix your sewer line issues without unnecessary digging.
No matter which method is best for your particular project – sewer line excavation or trenchless sewer line repair – NuFlow Indy will provide expert and trustworthy service.
FAQs on Our Indiana Sewer Line Excavation
At NuFlow Indy, our technology can be used on all major types of draining pipe materials, both inside and outside your home.
The sewer excavation process in Indianapolis typically involves the following:
- Locating the problem – We first diagnose the problem with a camera inspection. Our camera goes underground to find issues you can’t see. We’ll examine your sewer system and give you a diagnosis of issues we find with full transparency. Ultimately, you’ll receive an explanation of the issue and our recommended approach.
- Planning – After our camera inspection, we’ll give you our plan of action. Additionally, depending on the location and scale of needed operations, permits may be required from local authorities to ensure safety compliance.
- Excavation – Next, we dive into the sewer line excavation on your Indiana property. We do this by digging an access point to reach the sewer pipes.
- Mechanical or hydrojet cleaning – To prepare your pipes for new lining, we’ll clear them of debris, roots and corrosion using our tools. This ensures that the new lining will adhere to your existing pipes.
- Pipe replacement or repair – Once sewer pipes are exposed, that’s when we repair or replace the pipes with new lining.
- Camera inspection – After the liner is cured in place, we make sure to do another camera inspection for quality assurance.
- Follow up – With the repair or restoration complete, we’ll follow up within three weeks to make sure you’re satisfied and that the new system is working properly.
While it depends on the situation, NuFlow Indy typically doesn’t recommend excavation unless it’s the only viable option. We understand that digging up your yard is not ideal, so if we can fix your issues with our no-dig technology, we definitely will do so.
Some common reasons that you may need a sewer line excavation for your Indiana property include:
- Updating your septic system
- Constructing a new residential or commercial building
- Damage to an existing line – pipe is collapsed

- Requirements for outdoor cleanouts on properties
Rest assured, our team takes special care to ensure minimal disruption to your property whenever digging is necessary.
You can do this by being mindful of what you’re flushing down the drain, avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, and staying up to date with maintenance.
