With over 15 years of experience in underground plumbing excavation, we specialize in digging, tunneling, and trenching to access, repair, and replace broken sewer lines under slabs, underground, and everywhere in between.

Sewer Excavation for Cast Iron to PVC Pipe Replacement

Houston’s older homes and buildings were constructed using cast iron sewer pipes, which corrode, crack, and collapse over time. The modern solution is to replace the deteriorating cast iron with long-lasting PVC pipe, but that requires excavation.


TunnelNow, an experienced sewer excavation contractor in Houston provides the digging and tunneling work required to fully expose old cast iron sewer lines for replacement with new PVC pipe. We get to the pipe, whether it is under a concrete slab, through a yard, or beneath a commercial property.

Ready to start? If your plumber has identified broken cast iron sewer pipes that need to be replaced, or if you’re seeing signs of a failing sewer line TunnelNow is prepared to dig.

Our Sewer Excavation Services in Houston

Under-Slab Tunneling

Our most popular sewer excavation service. We dig a tunnel from the edge of your foundation, creating an access opening beneath the concrete slab. This allows the plumber to reach and replace the broken sewer line beneath your home without damaging your floors.

Under-slab tunneling is performed for:

  • Single-family homes
  • Apartments & multi-family properties
  • Commercial & office buildings
  • Hospitals & medical facilities
  • Schools, restaurants & retail properties

Trench Digging for Sewer Line Replacement

For outdoor sewer line runs from house to street, across a yard, or along a commercial property, we dig precise, deep trenches to expose the entire length of damaged sewer pipe for repair or replacement.

Concrete Slab Excavation (Saw Cut & Open)

When tunneling isn’t an option, our team performs slab excavation, which involves cutting through and removing sections of concrete to allow plumbers direct access to the sewer line beneath. Our team ensures that the process is clean, efficient, and executed accurately.

Sewer Line Re-Routing Excavation

A damaged sewer line cannot always be replaced along its original path; it may require a completely new route. We excavate the new path so that your plumber can install a properly rerouted PVC sewer line from scratch.

Commercial & Large-Scale Sewer Excavation

TunnelNow can handle sewer excavation projects of any size, from a single-family home to a multi-building hospital campus. We have the equipment and experience to handle any job that requires digging, tunneling, or trenching.
