Excavation Repairs for Sewer Systems
Offering expert sewer lining repair for systems with damage that require excavation in Milwaukee, Madison and Southern Wisconsin.
Two Great Locations
WHEN TRENCHLESS ISN’T AN OPTION
Targeted Excavation. Reliable Results.
Trusted for complete and partial sewer line replacement.
When pipes are fully collapsed, severely offset, or made of materials beyond repair, trenchless methods may not be an option. In these cases, excavation repair and full or targeted replacement is the only long-term solution. While it requires digging, this approach ensures every section of damaged pipe is removed and replaced with durable new piping, giving homeowners a fresh start and peace of mind.
Specialized Repair Services for Sewer Laterals
At Sewer Ninjas, we start with a full video inspection to pinpoint the problem, then carefully expose only the section that needs attention. Our team replaces or patches the damaged pipe with durable new material, restoring your system and protecting your property from future failures. If your system qualifies, we may recommend a less invasive solution like trenchless sewer repair or sewer relining to preserve your yard and reduce costs.
Full Restoration with Minimal Disruption
When disaster strikes and your yard is filled with puddles, it’s time to call in professionals who are able to provide reliable service without digging up the entire yard. Our ultimate goal is to perform sewer lining restoration with minimal disruption, even if it means some excavation.
We avoid unnecessary digging and focus only on affected areas to protect surrounding landscaping, driveways, and structures. After repairing or replacing the damaged pipe, we can reinforce the remaining system using sewer lining methods to improve durability and long lasting flow.

Testimonials
From emergency repairs to planned replacements, see why homeowners and businesses trust our team.
In both the initial assessment and the actual work, the guys came in quickly and effectively got the work done. they were very open to sharing what they were doing and answering all my questions. I thought this was really important since most homeowners (like me) don't know how their sewers work and need to trust the people doing the work.
Fantastic business. Owner Eric really knows his stuff and tech Jeff as well who is always on time professional and easy going. I’ve worked with them multiple times as a homeowner and realtor. Always my first recommendation. Sure… things can get expensive but you wouldn’t complain about a roof costing 10k so why complain about getting you SEWER fixed?? 10/10
We were referred to Sewer Ninjas by Milwaukee Drain Company after discovering we needed our sewer cleaned—but quickly realized we didn’t have an access point due to the old plumbing in our Milwaukee bungalow. Even though our first appointment had a hiccup, Jeff stepped in immediately, resolved the issue, and truly went above and beyond to make things right. He was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Sewer Ninjas turned a frustrating situation into a smooth, stress-free experience. We’ll definitely be working with them again in the future—top-notch service and a great partner to have on your side!
After unsuccessful snaking, this company was recommended, and I could not be happier. From the after hours call the owner made to us to the actual sewer line clean out, these workers are professional and respectful of the home they are in. Everything was fully explained, and the work site mess was at an absolute minimum. They said they would get it open or be able to show why not and were men of their word, issue solved and pipe open as they said they would do. Would not hesitate to recommend this company, fast, quality work, a rarity these days.
Sewer Ninjas is an honest company that strives to provide the best work possible for their customers. We had a series of tree roots growing through our sewer line, and the team scheduled an appointment quickly and removed them. They documented everything with video which made the insurance claim very easy. We also had them reline the existing pipe, and while that process did have a few hiccups, the team returned multiple times to correct the issues and ensure the job met their standards. This definitely impacted the profitability of the job, but Sewer Ninjas prioritized job quality and the long-term health of our home. They offer a strong warranty, and given my experience, I have no doubt they will stand behind it if future issues arise. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Sewer Ninjas Q&A
Excavation repair is necessary when sewer lines are fully collapsed, severely offset, or too deteriorated for relining or bursting. In these cases, digging allows our team to access the damaged section directly and replace it with durable new piping.
The cost of sewer excavation repair depends on factors like pipe depth, length, soil conditions, and accessibility. While it is more labor-intensive than trenchless methods, it provides a complete, long-lasting replacement when other options aren’t possible.
Yes! We partner with Hearth Financing to offer flexible payment options to help homeowners address critical sewer issues without the financial stress of upfront costs.
At Sewer Ninjas, we minimize disruption by using video inspection and locating technology to dig only where it’s needed. Our targeted approach reduces the area of excavation, helping preserve as much of your yard, driveway, and landscaping as possible.
Most excavation repairs can be completed in one to three days, depending on the extent of the damage and site conditions. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and property.
