Services
Water Line Repair
We specialize in water line replacement from curb box to meter using durable type K copper or PEX piping. Our trenchless methods minimize landscape disruption while resolving low pressure and leaks. Both residential and commercial properties benefit from our code-compliant installations that immediately improve water flow and system reliability.
Sewer Line Replacement
Our team replaces aging sewer lines using Schedule 40 PVC, addressing collapsed Orangeburg or clay tile pipes. Video inspection guides precise repairs while trenchless technology preserves property integrity. We handle complete line replacements or targeted fixes for roots, cracks, and clogs in both residential and commercial settings.
Septic System Installation
We design and install complete septic systems meeting local health department requirements. Our services include tank replacement, drain field construction, and system upgrades for new developments or failing units. All work follows county sanitarian guidelines to ensure environmental compliance and long-term functionality.
Trenchless Excavation
Our trenchless technology replaces underground pipes with minimal surface disruption. Using pipe bursting and pull-through methods, we repair water and sewer lines without extensive digging. This approach reduces restoration costs while maintaining structural integrity of landscapes and paved areas.
Video Inspection
Advanced video equipment locates blockages, cracks, and root intrusions in sewer lines. We provide detailed visual assessments and digital records to identify repair needs. This non-invasive method prevents unnecessary excavation while enabling precise targeting of problem areas for both residential and commercial clients.

Report
Jeff quoted me $5,000 for a water line replacement. I agreed and a week passed. I had my water turned off and was ready to go. Then I received text message from Jeff saying he was actually going to pass on the job. When I spoke with him he said there was extra work involved (hand digging) and rebid the job to $7500. Don't think it was intentional but now I wasted a week, paid to have my water turned off and also told all the other bidders I was going with someone else. Maybe he does good work but I got the run around this time because Jeff didn't inspect properly before bidding.

Review is for water line replacements.
Pros: Excellent work. In my experience, always meets deadlines. Competitive pricing. After replacing water lines the yard is left in good condition. Small amount of topsoil / leveling and lawn can be reseeded.
Cons: Initial communication to schedule estimate can be slow. After that everything goes quickly. Basement can be left a little dirty after work is complete.
Overall, highly recommend this company. Jeff is very down to earth and direct. From start to finish he oversees the project.

We had an issue with our septic system (we had a broken pipe and sewage was coming into our house), which was obviously very distressing and we needed urgent help. We called Diggit and Jeff came out the same day and assessed and diagnosed our issue and then fixed it within 48 hours. As fixing our issue required removing our A/C unit, Jeff even found an HVAC person to come out and disconnect and reconnect our A/C unit for us, so that the work could get done properly. We were so impressed with Jeff's promptness, professionalism and quality work and we would recommend Diggit to anyone dealing with
