A clear plan from the start. ### Indoor & Outdoor Excavation Specialists Whether the problem is a slab leak under your living room floor or a collapsed main sewer line under your front yard, our excavation crews handle both ends of the job. Use the selector above to jump to the type of work you need — we'll walk you through exactly what we provide, how long it takes, and what it costs before any tool touches your property. ### Indoor Excavation - **Slab leak detection & repair:** Warm spots on the floor, unexplained water bills, or cracked flooring often point to a leak beneath your concrete slab. We locate it, cut in cleanly, and repair or reroute the line. - **Under-slab drain line replacement:** Cast iron and clay drain pipe under older homes eventually fails. We replace the damaged run with modern PVC and patch the slab when we're done. - **Crawlspace & basement pipe work:** Full access repair and replacement of drain, waste, and supply lines in tight indoor spaces. - **Dust containment & clean finish:** We protect the surrounding living space and leave the area cleaner than we found it. ### Outdoor Excavation - **Main sewer line repair & replacement:** Collapsed, root-invaded, or bellied sewer lines excavated and replaced to code. - **Water service line work:** Repair or full replacement of the supply line running from the street to your house. - **Trenchless options:** Pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting when the existing line qualifies — no open trench across your lawn. - **Camera inspection & locate:** Every outdoor job starts with a camera run so we dig the right spot, the first time. - **Permits & restoration:** We pull permits, coordinate Call-Before-You-Dig, and restore driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping when we're done. ### How We Price It Every excavation job — indoor or outdoor — starts with a camera inspection and a flat-rate written quote. You know the scope, the method, and the total cost before we break ground. No hourly surprises, no "we'll know more once we open it up." ### Let’s get it taken care of. Tell us what’s happening.

Today, Joshua from Mr. Rooter answered my service call. He was friendly, efficient, explained everything to me and whistled while he worked! He really made an ugly mess pleasant!!! Thank you Josh! Laura Dituri★★★★★ > I've used Mr. Rooter twice through the PipeSafe program with RWA. Most recently we had Lex out to clear a backup in our sewer line. He was very thorough and professional, completed the job quickly and made sure everything was 100% before he left. Very happy with the job he did — would definitely recommend them.
