Excavation
SALT LAKE CITY EXCAVATION & SEWER LINE EXPERTS
Main water line broken. Sewer line collapsed. Basement backing up. When the problem is underground, you need a crew with their own excavators, vac trucks, and trenchless gear — and crews that work year-round, not weekend-warriors.

Overview
In-house excavation crews — no subcontractors, no waiting
Most plumbing companies pick up the phone for sewer line or main water line jobs and call a subcontractor. Valley doesn't. We run our own excavation crews — mini-excavators, full-size excavators, vacuum trucks, pipe bursters, utility locators — in-house. When you call about a broken main line, the same crew on the phone is the crew doing the work.
That matters when things go sideways. A sewer line replacement at 4pm on a Friday that stretches to 7pm. A main water line that turns out to cross three utility easements. A job that needs a permit amendment mid-dig. Subcontractors go home. Our crews stay.
We handle residential and commercial — main water line, main sewer line, trenchless pipe bursting, pipe lining, vac-truck cleanouts, sewer ejector pump installs, french drains, utility locating, and full excavation for new construction tie-ins. Licensed, bonded, permitted, and backed by a workmanship warranty.

Utah state-licensed plumbing and HVAC contractor, fully bonded, every tech background-checked. License numbers on every truck.
5 counties, 50+ cities

Own trucks, own tools

Own crews, own equipment
We don't sub it out. We dig it out.
Mini-excavators, vac trucks, pipe bursters, utility locators — all in-house. Which means when your sewer line fails on a Friday at 5pm, we're not calling a subcontractor. We're already loading the truck.
