Excavation
Excavation services across Melbourne, run in-house alongside our plumbing crews.

In-house excavators from 1.7 to 5 tonne. Trenching, drainage and site works without a third-party hire.
We run our own excavators - from a 1.7 tonne mini that fits through inner-city gateways up to 5 tonne machines for civil works. Because the operator and the plumber are the same company, trenching, bedding and backfill happen in one coordinated pass.
Available as part of our plumbing and civil packages, or as a standalone service for builders who need a reliable dig crew.
Every dig starts with Dial Before You Dig checks and electronic service location, so nothing gets hit, and spoil removal is included so we leave the site clean.

Common questions.
Can you access tight inner-city sites?+
Yes. Our 1.7 tonne mini fits through a standard side gate, and where even that won't fit, we hand-dig. Tight inner-Melbourne access is our daily reality.
Do you handle Dial Before You Dig and service location?+
Always. We run Dial Before You Dig checks and locate existing services before any machine breaks ground, so nothing gets hit.
Is excavation available on its own, or only with plumbing?+
Both. It's part of our plumbing and civil packages, and we also take standalone dig work for builders who need a reliable crew. Spoil removal is included.
“Finally I found a reliable, on-time, gets-the-job done plumber! All I want is a tradie to give me a reasonable quote, to turn up, to communicate with me, to do the job efficiently and to not charge like a bull - and Joolz does all of the above! Very happy to recommend him.”
