When people think of plumbing, they usually think of pipes, faucets, and water heaters—but at Level99 Plumbing, we know that dirt work is just as important, especially here in Montgomery, Texas, where terrain and soil conditions vary widely.

Whether you’re building a new home, laying a septic system, or prepping for a utility install, professional dirt work sets the foundation for a successful project—and we’re proud to bring both experience and precision to every job.

What Is Dirt Work in Plumbing?

Dirt work refers to the excavation, grading, and soil preparation needed before plumbing infrastructure is installed. It's the heavy lifting that ensures your system functions properly—and safely—long-term.

This can include:

Trenching for water and sewer lines
Leveling and compacting soil for slab or foundation installs
Digging out areas for septic tanks or storm drains
Backfilling and ensuring proper drainage around pipes

Why It Matters

Dirt work might be underground—but its impact is huge:

✔️ Prevents drainage issues and pipe shifts✔️ Protects your plumbing from future soil movement✔️ Ensures proper slope for waste and water flow✔️ Reduces risk of costly rework or failures down the road

Without proper dirt work, even the best-installed plumbing system can run into serious issues over time.
