The YB advantage

Why Pittsburgh property owners choose YB

Plumbing and excavation in Pittsburgh come with their own challenges: steep hills, aging clay laterals, rocky subsoil and tight residential lot lines. We pair skilled excavation operators with careful plumbing work to deliver clean, lasting results.

Local Pittsburgh service

We know local municipal codes, permit processes and soil conditions.

Quality materials

From SDR-35 PVC pipe to aggregate bedding and trench compaction, we never cut corners underground.

Honest scheduling

Straightforward, upfront estimates and prompt arrival, so you're never left wondering where your project stands.

Professional equipment

Tracked excavators, trenching machines, laser grade tools and pipe inspection equipment.

One-call solution: we excavate, lay pipe, pressure-test and backfill, all with one reliable team.

Real work, start to finish

Setting a septic tank, clearing a sewer lateral or replacing a water service: every job starts with the right machine and ends with compacted backfill and a clean site.
