Dave did a great job replacing our main water line with a new copper line from the street to our house. Finished it up in a day. Treated us very professionally. If you need quality work at a reasonable price, hire this guy!!

Z Excavation & Plumbing was a great find for me! They were clearly experienced, and communicated with me what they were going to do, and exactly how much it would cost (his was the best quote I got too). I called Monday, and Dave came to quote same-day, next day he was able to get the city out to mark the water shutoff, and the next day they was able to get all the work done (despite needing to call in 2 work orders to the city for various roadblocks my house put up for them).Very professional, quick, and skilled in what they do, I highly recommend Z Excavation and Plumbing!

We had a great experience working with Dave Mayfield from Z Excavation. He arrived promptly and quickly diagnosed the two water main leaks on our property - one at the curb box and another in the front yard. Dave explained the problem very clearly and provided a detailed estimate for the repair. Like to mention that Dave was the only one to notice that we had two leaks. Three other companies that gave rather inflated estimates did not even notice the second leak in the yard. Dave and his partner completed the work very efficiently and left the yard clean and tidy. We deeply appreciated Daves professionalism and expertise throughout the repair process. Z Excavation and Dave Mayfield well deserve the 5 star rating.

We used Z Excavation to replace our broken water line. Dave came out to give a free estimate, and was easy to communicate and schedule with throughout the process. He was patient with all of our questions and always showed up when he said he would. His pricing seemed fair, and once we knew what options we wanted, he was able to give us an exact price (the other plumbers we got estimates from told us it would be “plus or minus $1000”). We will use Z Excavation again for any plumbing needs in the future!

Service was excellent. Dave was proactive, great at communicating, good listener and understood what I needed. He was on time, carefully with my yard and very skilled with his excavator. Awesome job and would call him in a heartbeat if I needed his services again. Highly recommended-Niels

Dave was extremely responsive, courteous, kind and efficient at repairing our waterline break. He treated our property as if it was his own. Extremely skilled operator/plumber. Thankful to have found Z Excavating!

Dave from Z Excavation did great work for us to replace our underground pipes that extend to the storm sewers. He quoted us a great price and then followed through on exactly what he said he would do. We were very happy with the result and will definitely use this company again for renovations and repairs.

I highly recommend Z Excavation. David Mayfield is the owner, and he does all his own work. I had a water line break in my front lawn. I called him on the Saturday of a holiday weekend, and he was at my house within 30 minutes. He got all the necessary permits and had the work done the next business day. He is super responsive and cares about doing a good job. His price was great, and he was wonderful to work with. Call him.

Dave did a great job of fixing the problem. He and his assistant were very professional and easy to work with. Never thought we would have to address such an issue but glad Z Excavation was there to help.

I can’t say enough good things about Dave! He came right away to diagnose the problem and gave me a fair quote on installing a new water line. He worked with my schedule, kept in touch and showed up promptly to do the work. He was able to do the job without digging up my whole yard and cleaned up my property when he finished. I would highly recommend Dave!

Dave and Z Excavation replaced my main water line to my house. The line was replaced underground with no large trenches or large mounds of dirt. I was impressed with the quality and clean up of the job.David Mayfield was quick to respond, prompt and did great work at a very good price. I would work with or recommend Z Excavation to anyone needing their main waterline repaired or replaced.

Dave was by far the most knowledgeable and helpful contractor I spoke to while dealing with a water main leak in my home. Did a great job replacing my water line with minimal impact on my yard. He also went out of his way to turn my water off and on when I needed it throughout the week. I would highly recommend his work!

Review 13 (2022-12-21 - Rating: 5)
Dave was great to work with. He fixed my service water main line within a week of noticing there was an issue. He was on time, easy to get a hold of, and honest. I would definitely reach out to him again if the need arises. Thanks again Dave!

Fantastic job with an emergency water line leak. Went above and beyond. I will be saving their card for the next time I need anything plumbing or otherwise inside and outside the home.

When I saw water coming out of the basement wall, I thought I was in big trouble. Called Z excavating and Dave came out within an hour and gave me a price. He got on it the next day and four hours later everything was great. He even installed a new sump pump for me at the spur of the moment. I would use him again in a heartbeat. A nice guy too.

In short: An excellent job!The long version: The underground service line that delivered water to our single-family home, developed a sizable leak. Because of the continuous water loss, the City gave us 14 days to fix the problem or they would cut our water service.We requested quotes from four repair companies, among them Z Excavation. If I remember correctly, Dave was the second one to show up, the day after my request, and made a repair cost estimate. His offer was the best value and had the best warranty. So we asked Dave to do the job.Communicating with him was very easy: he always notified us of the next steps and responded to our questions quickly. Both by text and voice.On the day of the main job, he showed up on time and started to work. He used a small excavator and also placed large plastic boards on the ground so that our lawn was minimally affected.There were a couple issues that made the job harder: the ground turned out to be a very compacted one so it took some effort to dig out the two ends of the service line. Also, the line had a sharp turning point that made drawing the new line harder. But Dave handled the situation quickly and efficiently.He also had to do work in our basement: he did a neat job connecting the new pipe and replacing the main valve.Dave also handled all the necessary City permits and obtained the final inspection. The inspector approved the job on the first visit.By early afternoon, all of this was done and we had our water running through the new service line. No leaking whatsoever.In the process, two concrete pieces of the sidewalk had to be removed. Dave explained to us that the sidewalk cannot be poured back on the same day -- the ground needed time to settle. So Dave had to come back on a later day to finish that. Again, a very neat and nice job.We can highly recommend this young gentleman. He did three types of job: excavating, plumbing and concrete work. And he excelled at all three. Thank you, Dave!

Dave replaced our old water service line from the street into the house after it began leaking in our front yard. The work was well done, with attention to detail, and I felt like I could communicate any concerns to him during the process. He was friendly and professional and I would recommend working with him.

Dave came to inspect and work up an estimate the same day we called for a water leak repair. He gave us options, the pros and cons of each, and worked with our schedule to make sure it got done within city deadlines.Nobody likes to have a water line repair, but working with Z Excavation removed a lot of the frustration.

Review 21 (2023-01-03 - Rating: 5)
After contacting this company about our water main leak Dave arrived the same day to look at the issue. He gave us a quote and we were able to communicate with him to schedule a repair between the holidays and severe storm. While a few unexpected issues came up he did everything possible to replace the line as intended. He went above and beyond to ensure everything worked properly and ensured all work areas were cleaned up. He was timely, showed up when promised, got the job done, and stuck around to make sure it was all good. He even stopped by the next day to make sure everything was working and cleaned up appropriately. We highly recommend and would use again.

Dave Mayfield of Z Excavating just did a well designed and professional job trenching and installing new underground gutter/downspout drain lines.At a very fair price he included cleanouts and he recommended schedule 40 pipe based upon my situation.He carefully established the correct fall to ensure proper flow away from my foundation. He carefully tamped the refilled trenches and cleaned up after the job.Finally, he was exceptionally good to work with. He’s honest, knowledgeable and affordable.This is totally unsolicited, I just wanted to share my great experience with Dave.Neil DonovanHilliard Ohio

Dave did an excellent job replacing our yard drain in one day. He was courteous, professional, and worked around our locust tree when other contractors would not. I highly recommend Dave to anyone with any plumbing issues.

Dave at Z excavation was awesome to work with! The process to get an estimate, ask questions, and schedule the work was quick and friendly. I reached out by phone and he came out within a couple of hours to look at a drainage issue I was having on my property. I received an estimate that evening and Dave performed the work the same week, which included all new underground downspout drains and a french drain installation. He showed up on time, did a professional job and solved the drainage issue. Highly recommend!

Dave checks all the boxes. He took care of a water main leak at the foundation, plus he replaced the adjacent, original gutter drain with materials that shouldve been used in the first place (S40, clean-outs, etc.) He has good equipment and used it safely. Dave made all the necessary arrangements and passed inspection on the first try. I can easily recommend him.

Dave was attentive, responsive and honest. It was a pleasure to work him and I would highly recommend. Would definitely use again!

Excavation and water line service location and installation was done. A problem job that David communicated well with myself and accomplished. Five Star rating.

Dave did an excellent job with our recent water pipe break and I would highly recommend him. He was very professional and answered all our questions.

Review 31 (2024-10-16 - Rating: 5)
Very impressed with Dave. I called him for a second opinion when a large plumbing company said they cleared our sewer line, but we needed to replace the line. He saved us thousands of dollars by using his camera to see it was still mostly clogged. He was not able to clear it himself and worked on referring someone that would do it affordably. I so wish I had not panicked and called the first name on the internet; however I did find Z Exavation in the end.

Dave did an excellent job. He communicated well, arrived on time. And was all around great. I plan to use Dave in the future!

My waterline was replaced due to a leak between the house and street. I was explained the process to be used in understandable language. A City of Columbus inspector approved the completed work. The basement and yard were cleaned up to my satisfaction.
