Plumbing, Drainage & Stormwater Trenches Gold Coast
Plumbing, Drainage & Stormwater Trenches
Reliable plumbing and drainage are the backbone of any property. At Micro Excavations, we specialise in digging precision trenches for water, waste, and stormwater systems. Using our specialized tight-access mini excavators, we provide clean, consistent channels that make the plumber’s job easier and ensure your pipes stay at the correct grade for optimal flow.
From fixing a burst pipe in a narrow side-passage to installing a complete stormwater system on a new build, we are the Gold Coast’s first choice for residential and commercial trenching.
Specialised Trenching Services
Our machines are equipped with various bucket widths to suit specific pipe diameters, ensuring you aren't paying for more concrete or backfill than necessary.
We provide expert excavation for:
- Sewer & Wastewater: Deep, precision-graded trenches for main sewer lines and septic connections.
- Stormwater Management: Excavating for 90mm and 100mm stormwater pipes, downpipe connections, and pits to prevent yard flooding.
- Water Mains: Clean runs for new copper or poly water services from the meter to the dwelling.
- Absorption Trenches: Specialised digging for septic or greywater transpiration beds in rural and hinterland areas.
- Pool Drainage: Narrow trenching for pool filtration lines and backwash pipes.
Key Considerations for Property Owners
01 Tight Access Navigation
Don't assume your backyard is inaccessible. Our micro-machinery can fit through gaps as narrow as a standard doorway. If you have a tight side-access blocked by an air conditioner or a hot water unit, we have the tools and the experience to work around it safely.
02 Underground Service Safety
Before we break ground, it is vital to know what is already under there. We always advocate for Dial Before You Dig (1100) plans. Our operators are highly skilled at "potholing" (hand-digging or careful machine skimming) to locate existing live services without causing damage.
03 Protecting Your Assets
Working close to a house requires a steady hand. We take pride in our "minimal mess" approach, using rubber tracks to protect decorative concrete and pavers while ensuring your garden beds and turf are respected during the process.
