"It seems every year, sewage backs up into my basement. In the past, I would call the city. They would send a truck by to plunge the vent pipe in my front yard and I’ll be good for a year or so. Well, the last time they were called they told me they see an obstruction in the vent pipe that might be causing the clogs, but I would need to call a plumber to clean the lines out. Sunday, it happened again. The city was closed but they could send a truck out Monday. Figuring they would just do the same thing as last time, I searched for a plumber. I used Angie’s list here for the first time and called Do It Right Plumbing. I noted the great reviews and some reviews mentioned pricing to be about $80 per hour. I called the company and mentioned Angies list and their website. They sent out a truck with two guys. They plunged the vent pipe, which cleared the line and we tested the system by running water and flushing toilets just like before. They also found the obstruction in the vent pipe. I was hoping they would run a snake in the line but they said it would cost extra and they were afraid to risk the snake getting stuck. They spent time trying to remove the obstruction in the vent pipe but gave up. They did not have a camera to verify it but did state it was higher up in the vent pipe and should not be the problem. The whole experience was great up to the point he gave me the bill for $297, twice what I was expecting. It was an expensive lesson, but I’ll know better next time - verify the hourly rate before hand!"

Excavation services FAQs
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
