Sewer and Water Line Excavation in Heber and Park City
Sierra Excavation provides sewer excavation, water line excavation and utility trenching for homeowners, builders and plumbers across Heber, Park City and the rest of Wasatch and Summit County. Whether you need a new sewer lateral, a replacement water service line or a trench for power and gas, our crew digs it safely, to depth and on schedule.
What Is Sewer and Water Line Excavation?
Every home needs two underground connections: a sewer line that carries wastewater out to the public main or a septic tank, and a water line that brings clean water in from the street or a well. Sewer and water line excavation is the digging, bedding and backfill work needed to install, repair or replace those lines.
In the mountains, these lines have to be buried deep enough to stay below frost, which makes the excavation more demanding than in milder climates. That is why the trenching needs to be done by a crew that knows local ground conditions.

Excavation Plumbing Services You Can Count On
Many plumbing problems start underground. A collapsed sewer lateral, roots in an old clay pipe, a leaking water service line or a frozen line all require excavation before the plumbing can be fixed. Sierra Excavation provides the excavation side of these plumbing jobs, opening the trench carefully, protecting existing utilities and restoring the site when the work is done.
We call in utility locates before every dig and use the right size equipment for tight residential lots and driveways.
Sewer and Water Line Work in Mountain Conditions
Rocky soil, clay and spring groundwater are common here. We use proper trench protection, bedding and compaction so lines last and surfaces do not settle.

What Affects the Cost of Sewer and Water Line Excavation?
Pricing depends on the length and depth of the trench, the soil and rock conditions, how many existing utilities are nearby, and what surfaces need to be removed and restored, such as asphalt, concrete or landscaping. Emergency repairs and winter digs through frozen ground can also affect cost.
We provide a clear estimate before work begins. Visit our excavation cost guide to learn more.
