Expert Plumbing Excavation and Yard Restoration in Spokane

A typical neighborhood in the Spokane Valley, WA area

When a Spokane homeowner needed underground plumbing work completed safely and efficiently, they called Bulldog Rooter. Our crew handled a multi-day excavation and plumbing repair, ensuring the worksite remained organized, compliant, and professionally restored when complete.

Job Overview

  • Location: Spokane, WA
  • Client Type: Residential homeowner
  • Scope: Plumbing excavation and repair — trenching, pipe installation, and full backfill and yard restoration
  • Lead Technicians: Charles Goulding and Michael Nightingale
  • Why It Mattered: The homeowner needed a precise underground plumbing solution in a residential area with multiple nearby utility lines. Careful planning and coordination ensured safety, compliance, and lasting results.

What We Found

Before beginning excavation, our team performed a complete utility review and site inspection. We identified potential crossings with private lines such as power and DirectTV service that weren’t covered under 811 public markings. This extra step ensured no damage to private utilities and a safe excavation process.

The Solution

Our Spokane plumbers began excavation along the marked section of the property, carefully digging trenches to access and repair the affected underground plumbing line. Despite the tight workspace and private utility proximity, the job proceeded efficiently thanks to precise equipment operation and crew coordination.

Once the new line was installed, our team completed a thorough backfill, compacting the soil to prevent future settling and cleaning up the site for a smooth, even finish.
