Emergency services offered

"I needed an Emergency septic pumped out, it had backed up into the lower tub. They were busy as others that I called that day, but Tony said he would get it pumped ut but it may be later as they were on another job. Later Josh called and said he would be here today even if it was later tonight. Well he showed up, it was dark by then about 8 pm and he got the job done just as he promised. and he wanted to know the system checked out ok before he left. Very professional and a job well done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
