RPG Earthworks Plumbing Excavation FAQ's
What is plumbing excavation?
Plumbing excavation is the earthworks involved in accessing, installing, repairing or replacing underground plumbing infrastructure. This can include trenching for stormwater, sewer, water supply lines, septic systems, drainage pits and other underground services. As part of RPG Plumbing, RPG Earthworks can manage both the excavation and the licensed plumbing work required for many of these jobs.
Do you offer excavation only, or full plumbing works too?
We can do both. RPG Earthworks is an extension of RPG Plumbing, so we provide excavation services as well as licensed plumbing works. That means we can assist with the earthworks, the plumbing installation or repair, or a complete solution depending on the job.
Do you provide stormwater trenching?
Yes. RPG Earthworks provides stormwater trenching and drainage excavation, including trenches for stormwater pipes, downpipe connections, soakwell areas and other site drainage features where suitable. Because we are part of RPG Plumbing, we can also carry out the associated licensed plumbing works as part of the project.
Can you excavate for sewer line repairs?
Yes. We can excavate for sewer line repairs, replacements and new sewer trenching, including access to damaged or collapsed sections and trenches for inspection openings or new connection lines. As licensed plumbers, we can also complete the plumbing repair or replacement works, not just the excavation.
Do you install septic systems?
Yes. RPG Earthworks can excavate and prepare sites for septic and HSTP systems, including tank areas, trenches and disposal zones. Through RPG Plumbing, we can also complete the licensed plumbing components of the installation, subject to site requirements, system design and any relevant council or regulatory approvals.
Do you work on acreage properties?
Yes. We work on acreage and rural properties for a range of plumbing and excavation needs, including septic systems, long-run water supply trenching, drainage works and property-wide service installation. This makes RPG Earthworks a practical option for larger sites where both excavation and plumbing services are needed.
Can you trench for new water lines?
Yes. We provide trenching for new water supply lines, replacement pipe runs and system upgrades, including trenches from tanks or meters to houses, sheds and other service points. As licensed plumbers, we can also install or replace the pipework as part of the same job.
Do you handle drainage issues around homes or sheds?
Yes. We can assist with drainage issues around homes, sheds and other structures, including trenching for yard drains, French drains, stormwater improvements, swales and other practical surface water control measures where appropriate. Where plumbing infrastructure is involved, we can also complete the licensed plumbing works required.
Can you excavate around existing services?
Yes, with care. Excavation around existing underground services always requires planning and a careful approach. Site conditions vary, so the exact method depends on known service locations, access, depth and project requirements. Our experience in both excavation and plumbing helps us approach these jobs with practical care.
How do I get a quote?
You can contact RPG Earthworks with a brief description of the job, your location and any plans, photos or site details you have available. We can then discuss the scope of works, whether excavation only or excavation and plumbing together, and provide the next steps.
