Plumbing and excavation

Most of our work is under your lawn.

Sewer lines, water services and the digging that goes with them, in Columbia and around it. Our own machine, our own crew, one job number.

In the ground

Somebody has to get in the hole.

Water comes in, the sides want to come with it, and the only way to put a line right is to go down there and do it. That is the part of the job you are actually paying for, and it is the part nobody photographs.

We run our own excavator, so the trench, the pipe and the backfill are one crew rather than three, and the lawn goes back the way it came up.

What we do

Three kinds of job, all of them below the surface.

A sewer line replacement: new white PVC bedded on gravel in a deep trench beside a brick house, with the old corroded cast iron dug out on the lawn above
01

Sewer lines

Dug out, replaced and bedded on gravel. The old cast iron comes out and goes on the grass where you can see exactly what was under your yard.

Water service lines

New service run from the main to the house, in a machine-cut trench rather than by hand across your lawn.

Underground work in a shopping center parking lot with a mini excavator, a skid steer and a dump truck
03

Commercial ground work

Parking lots and shopping centers, with the excavator, the skid steer and the truck on site together.

Five weeks, then one day

“The day after I called Tallmage the job was done.”

“I had a broken pipe and spent about 5 weeks trying to get the original installer to take care of it - very unresponsive, didn’t show at stated times, etc. The day after I called Tallmage the job was done. I would’ve saved myself a lot of time and frustration by reaching out to them first, very impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism.”

That is most of what we get called about: somebody else started it, or nobody will come back to finish it.

Same crew, same truck

You get the people whose name is on the hat.

Family run, out of Columbia. The same crew turns up to a burst line in a back yard and to a parking lot at a shopping center, which is why the machine is ours rather than hired by the day.
