Excavation & Civil Services FAQs

Common questions about our trenching, boring, and earthmoving capabilities.

What size machinery do you use, and can you fit onto residential properties?

We operate a high-performance 5-tonne excavator paired with a heavy-duty tipper truck. This machinery setup is perfectly configured to fit down standard residential side accesses while still providing the muscle needed for bulk earthmoving, concrete removal, and civil worksites.

Do you provide free quotes for excavation and boring in Adelaide?

Yes, we provide 100% free, no-obligation quotes. We will visit your property in South Adelaide or surrounding areas to assess access constraints and terrain before providing a transparent, detailed price.

Are you licensed and insured to perform concrete removal and civil earthworks?

Absolutely. Jason Morris Plumbing & Civil is fully licensed and carries comprehensive public liability insurance. We strictly adhere to South Australian Building Codes, environmental rules, and OHS safety standards.

What is auger boring, and when do I need it?

Auger boring is a trenchless method used to drill underground holes. It is ideal when you need to lay utility conduits, structural piers, or plumbing pipes beneath existing structures—like concrete driveways, footpaths, or retaining walls—without having to smash them up or dig disruptive open trenches.

Can you handle both the excavation and the plumbing utility installation?

Yes, that is our greatest advantage! Because we have over 20 years of dual experience in both certified plumbing and civil earthmoving, we can excavate the trenches, bore the utility lines, install the pipework/drainage systems, and backfill the area using just one cohesive, expert team.

Do you take care of hauling away the old concrete and soil?

Yes, our services are entirely end-to-end. When we perform concrete removal or general site leveling, we use our 5-tonne excavator to load the waste directly into our tipper truck and responsibly transport it off-site, leaving you with a clean, workable area.

How do you prevent hitting underground utilities when trenching?

Safety and property protection are our highest priorities. Before our excavator bucket hits the dirt, we conduct comprehensive “Before You Dig” asset location checks. Combined with our deep technical knowledge of plumbing and utility networks, we ensure existing infrastructure remains completely safe.
