What Our Clients Say

Real results from real projects across the Portland metro area.

“Lovett sent Ryan, Phillip, and JD to hydro-excavate a new water line, completed in six hours and the invoice came in under the original estimate. Due to the overachievers Lovett sent, I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Charlie Forth

Homeowner, Gresham, OR

“On the same day Lovett’s excavation team reviewed the area, they dug to the broken pipe, repaired it, and smoothed everything out. Exceptionally skilled, efficient, and diligent—they saved our Thanksgiving.”

Built to Last

Commercial-Grade Materials for Lasting Infrastructure

The longevity of your underground utilities depends heavily on the materials used during installation. Lovett Services specifies durable, commercial-grade materials engineered for the heavy usage and specific soil conditions of the Pacific Northwest.

Excavation and civil site services

Industrial-Grade PVC & HDPE Pipe

Superior resistance to root intrusion, shifting soil, and corrosion: the right pipe for sewer and water line installations that last.

Premium Local Aggregate

Sourced regionally for proper compaction and long-term stability during grading and trench backfilling operations.

High-Strength Concrete Mixes

Formulated for heavy commercial traffic and Pacific Northwest weather resistance, used for all flatwork and ADA-compliant ramps.

Advanced Trenchless Technology

Pipe Bursting: Replace Lines Without Destroying Your Property

Lovett Services vac truck and drain cleaning equipment

When traditional open-cut excavation is not feasible due to mature landscaping, recently paved parking lots, or strict surface preservation requirements, Lovett Services offers advanced trenchless pipe bursting technology.

How Pipe Bursting Works

Our pipe bursting service replaces failing sewer and water lines by pulling a new, high-density HDPE pipe through the existing line, simultaneously fracturing the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil. No massive trench required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from property managers and facility directors about commercial excavation.

We specialize in excavation for multifamily complexes, commercial retail centers, industrial parks, and municipal facilities across the Pacific Northwest. Our fully licensed and insured team (CCB #125507) handles everything from utility trenching to complete sewer rehabilitation and civil site work for large-scale properties.

Yes. We utilize advanced trenchless capabilities including horizontal directional drilling and pipe bursting to replace failing pipes underground without destroying parking lots, landscaping, or hardscaping. Trenchless methods significantly reduce restoration costs and minimize disruption to your tenants.

Many older commercial and multifamily buildings share outdated sewer connections that no longer comply with current municipal standards. We carefully excavate the site, reroute the necessary plumbing, and install independent, code-compliant sewer lines, reducing liability and preventing shared system backups from affecting your tenants.

Absolutely. We manage every phase of your project including navigating strict municipal codes and handling all public works documentation. Our compliance reporting gives you the verifiable proof required for municipal public works preparations and internal maintenance records.
