Sewer Line Repair
Lamb Excavating specializes in diagnosing and repairing sewer line issues using camera inspections and targeted excavation. Our process minimizes property disruption while addressing root intrusions, cracks, or collapsed pipes. We ensure compliance with Indianapolis code requirements and restore functionality efficiently.
Septic Installation
We install durable septic systems tailored to soil conditions and property needs. Our experts handle design, excavation, and compliance with Indiana health department regulations. Systems include trench, chamber, or media-based options to optimize wastewater treatment and longevity.
Egress Windows
Our code-compliant egress windows feature slider units and metal wells meeting 5.7 sq. ft. opening requirements. We ensure watertight installation, proper ladder access for wells over 44 inches, and aesthetic integration with basement designs for safety and resale value.
Gravel Driveways
We offer three-tier gravel driveway services: regrading for imperfections, touch-ups with new gravel, and full overhauls with soil stabilization. Projects include decorative edging and durable 1.5-inch gravel layers for long-lasting, low-maintenance surfaces.
Outdoor Living Spaces
From herringbone patios to custom kitchens with pizza ovens, we create functional outdoor retreats. Services include decks, pergolas, fire pits, and integrated lighting. We collaborate on design, material selection, and execution to transform yards into entertainment-ready spaces.

Questions
What are the requirements for egress windows in Indianapolis?
Egress windows must meet a 5.7 sq. ft. net opening, 24-inch height, 20-inch width, and operable without tools. Window wells require 36-inch dimensions and ladders if deeper than 44 inches.
How long does a septic system last in Indiana?
Properly maintained residential septic systems typically last 25 years. Commercial systems may have shorter lifespans due to higher usage volumes.
What services does Lamb Excavating offer for outdoor living spaces?
We design and build custom decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, and retaining walls tailored to your property and budget.
How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?
Common signs include foul smells, slow drains, gurgling noises, water backups, and frequent cleanings. Roots and pipe settling are frequent causes.
Can gravel driveways be upgraded or repaired?
Yes, we offer regrading, touch-ups with new gravel, and complete overhauls including soil stabilization and 1.5-inch gravel layers for durability.
