Your Trusted Company for Quality Sewer Repair in the Portland Metro Area

When you need reliable sewer line repair, choosing the right method matters. With modern options like trenchless sewer repair, pipe bursting, vacuum excavation, and traditional excavation, it can be overwhelming to know which solution is best for your property. That’s where The Excavators step in.
Our team evaluates your sewer lines, soil conditions, and property layout to determine the most effective repair strategy. We always prioritize value, long-term performance, and minimal disruption, ensuring the job is completed the first time.
What Kind of Sewer Services Might be Needed?
Every sewer line project is different, especially in older neighborhoods with nonconforming sewer connections, party sewers, or older private sewer systems. In many cases, we can sleeve an existing pipe to avoid full excavation. A directional drill may also be possible for specific portions of your drain lines or sewer pipe, allowing us to restore function without disturbing the entire yard.
However, when extensive damage, root intrusion, or severe corrosion is present, a full sewer line replacement may be necessary. Tree roots often infiltrate cracked joints looking for moisture and nutrients, which can lead to sewage leaks, blockages, and soil erosion. No matter the condition of your line, we work carefully to preserve landscaping, minimize unnecessary digging, and restore any concrete or asphalt impacted during the process.
We are familiar with local zoning requirements, sewer easements, property line restrictions, and plumbing permit approvals, ensuring your project complies with all Portland and Vancouver regulations.
We are Prepared for Any Type of Sewer Line Repairs
Every property is unique, so we tailor our services to match the specific needs of your sewer system. Our advanced excavation methods allow us to address anything from minor drain repairs to complete sewer overhauls. Common solutions include:
- Trenchless Excavation
- Vacuum Excavation
- Directional Drilling
- Pipe Bursting
- Hydro Jetting using professional hydro jetting machines
These modern methods help reduce excavation damage, increase efficiency, and deliver long-lasting sewer and drain cleaning performance.
Having a Major Problem? Replacement May Save Money
When a sewer pipe is severely damaged, corroded, or infiltrated by aggressive tree roots, replacing the line can be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. A full sewer line replacement also improves flow, increases property reliability, and eliminates problems caused by outdated materials or cracked joints.
Common Signs of a Sewer Line Problem

Early detection can prevent costly damage to your home or landscape. Indicators of a failing sewer line include:
- Recurring backups across multiple drains
- Foul odors coming from drains or the yard
- Unusually lush grass or soft spots in the lawn
- Visible sunken areas, holes, or sinkholes
- Sewage leaks at the surface
- Slow drains caused by root intrusion
- Blockages involving hazardous chemicals, grease, or debris
If you notice these issues, schedule a camera inspection immediately. We use advanced inspection cameras, video inspection devices, and scope camera inspections to identify hidden problems and recommend the best repair solution.
