Plumbing Excavation Services in Salt Lake & Utah Counties

Digging is the last step, not the first. Before a machine touches the ground, the underground problem and its route should be understood — through camera inspection, line locating, leak symptoms, records, and utility markings. That homework is what turns a wide, destructive trench into a targeted opening, and it's the difference between exposing exactly the failed pipe and tearing up a yard to go looking for it.

Jetstar Plumbing and Drains provides excavation tied to sewer, water, and approved underground plumbing projects across Utah County and Salt Lake County. We run the opening, the pipe work, the verification, the backfill, and the agreed restoration as one coordinated sequence — one crew accountable from the first cut to the final grade, not a dig contractor pointing at a plumber and back.

Utah ground has its own rules. Much of the valley sits on rocky, clay-heavy soil that dictates the equipment and the method, and our frost depth means sewer and water lines are buried deep enough to stay below the freeze — deeper pipe, bigger dig, more planning. Before any of that, Utah law requires calling Blue Stakes of Utah (the state's 811 one-call service) to mark public utilities, and private lines like a gas run to a firepit or a sprinkler main often need separate locating because the free service doesn't cover them. We handle that marking process and build depth, soil, and utilities into the plan up front, so the work is safe, legal, and free of the expensive surprise of a nicked line.
