Excavation is usually recommended when a pipe has collapsed, is severely deformed, or is not suitable for internal repair methods.
While no-dig repairs are often preferred, excavation can be the most reliable long-term solution where the pipe structure has failed.
A CCTV inspection survey indicates collapse or major deformation, or repeated clearance fails because the pipe cannot carry flow properly.
A new run or significant alteration is required and internal repair is not viable.

Collapse can be caused by ageing pipework, ground movement, voids, heavy loading, or long-term leakage and wash-out.
Severe root damage and repeated joint displacement can also contribute to structural failure.

Severe root damage and repeated joint displacement can also contribute to structural failure.
Typically when there is collapse, severe deformation, or the pipe is not structurally suitable for lining.
Often yes, with a reinstatement plan discussed in advance so you know what to expect.
Usually via CCTV findings and access-point tracing so excavation is targeted rather than exploratory.
Yes. We verify flow and may recommend a post-repair CCTV check depending on the job.
Often yes due to digging and reinstatement, but it can be the best long-term option where the pipe has failed structurally.
