Fort Wayne Indiana Excavation Services

Excavation is the process of digging within a site to reach what is underneath. J&S determines where to dig without damaging structures, property, or underground utilities. Then we obtain any permits needed and use specialized machinery to excavate the area with the problem.

Because the dangers of excavating are serious, we hold regular meetings to ensure safety. We are professional, bonded, and insured, and are expert excavators with years of experience in installation, repairs, and maintenance. Reaching underground utilities is difficult, and should never be attempted without the proper knowledge and experience. For customers in Allen County, and the surrounding areas, J & S is here to help. Contact for more information and a free quote.

Properties in the City of Fort Wayne most commonly require excavation services when they need repairs on their main sewer lines or water lines. The main sewer line is the line that connects the property’s drainage system to the public drainage system. Similarly, the main water line accommodates water to flow to the structure, rather than away from it.

Our rural customers in northeast Indiana may experience issues with their septic lines running from the house to the septic system, the discharge lines running from the septic system, or the septic system itself.

Once a plumbing problem occurs, such as crushed or burst pipe, invasive root damage, or serious blockages, professional repairs are necessary. To reach these lines, however, expert excavation services are neecessary.

Excavation is more than just operating equipment and digging a hole. Our technicians have the experience and skills to ensure the job gets done right the first time. We follow all state and local laws. We also work safely around your existing utilities.

Our professional excavation services ensure that we don’t end up digging in areas that could have negative effects. For example, digging in the wrong area and damaging the main line can lead to costly repairs for the city and stiff penalties.

Our professional excavation services obtain the appropriate permits. You can rest easy knowing that the lines will be identified and repaired properly. The expense of doing it right the first time is worth it when you consider the expense of doing it twice! Call J&S Excavating today for an estimate on your project.

There are many excavation projects that we work on. One common project we specialize in is distribution box repairs and replacements.  Another is sewer line break repairs. These breaks can be in the foundation, due to sinkholes near septic tanks, or just broken sewer pipes that need to be replaced. Septic tank closures are another common project that we do. If you are tying into the city sewer, tearing down an old house, or installing a new septic system, you will need the old septic tank decommissioned.

Some other projects include the installation and repair of sanitary sewer lines, storm water drains, grinder stations, septic systems, and grease traps. We also remove underground storage tanks. On top of those things, we can repair broken underground water lines.
