Excavation Contractor in Pittsburgh

When you need earth moved safely and efficiently, Jim Meyers Plumbing gets it done. We specialize in sewer, water, and gas line replacements, residential drainage, and grading.

Not your average digging crew.

Excavation requires precision, the right heavy machinery, and an absolute commitment to safety. A mistake underground can cost thousands, which is why choosing the right excavation contractor in Pittsburgh matters.

At Jim Meyers Plumbing, we maintain our own fleet of modern excavation equipment. Whether you are replacing a failed 100-foot sewer line, swapping a deteriorated water service, or correcting drainage problems in your yard, we manage the entire process, from permits to final backfill.

  • Own our own equipment (no rental delays)
  • Complete permit management
  • Minimal landscape disruption focus

Why Pittsburgh Homeowners Choose Jim Meyers

Since 1979, we have served homeowners across the Pittsburgh area. Hiring a plumber and a separate excavation company means two schedules, two invoices, and plenty of room for finger-pointing. With Jim Meyers, one company handles both the digging and the pipe work, so your project moves faster and stays accountable from start to finish.

One Team, Start to Finish

Because we handle both the plumbing and the excavation, you never have to coordinate between contractors. One team, one schedule, one point of contact.

Built for Pittsburgh Terrain

Steep lots, clay-heavy soil, and decades-old clay and cast iron sewer laterals are common across the Pittsburgh area. We plan every dig around the realities of local ground conditions.

Utility Locates and Permits Handled

We coordinate PA One Call utility marking and the required municipal permits before any digging begins, so your project stays safe and compliant.

High-Value Service Guarantee

Major excavation work is a significant investment in your property. Jim Meyers Plumbing provides detailed, upfront scopes of work and pricing so you know exactly what to expect before ground is broken.
