Excavation Disclosure Statement

Underground piping replacement, along with the excavation process, has many unknown variables that are difficult to predict. Unless explicitly noted otherwise in this invoice, we can run into some things we are not responsible for or cannot predict.

Sidewalk and Driveway Reinstallation:

We often have to remove concrete or asphalt to access the sewer we are repairing, and we do not repair or replace these structures.

Grass and Landscaping:

Grass and landscaping will be damaged or destroyed on almost every sewer project. The nature of excavation with heavy machinery leaves no other option. We do not repair or replace landscaping.

Utilities:

Before any excavation begins, we call 811 “Dig Right” to have all known underground utilities marked and flagged by the appropriate agencies. Sometimes, these third parties are not accurate or miss a utility entirely. Encountering an unmarked or unknown utility obstacle causes a delay and difficulty that we charge an additional minimum of $799 to resolve.

Large Rocks, Bedrock, and Roots:

Before we begin excavation, rock is undetectable and is a significant obstacle once discovered. Roots can also be large and abundant. Depending on the level of obstruction, rock or root removal starts at an additional minimum of $1299.

Change Orders:

Once exposed, it may be evident that the sewer has more damage than initially estimated or conditions requiring additional equipment or labor are discovered. You may decide to expand the project. Sewer repair change orders start at an additional minimum of $3199.
