"Eric was very helpful and assured me that Cody could come out to connect my Buddy meter to my irrigation system. While Cody was here he was able to help me with one other need I had in my flower bed. I would recommend Thompson Service. 10 out of 10 👍 Trustworthy and dependable."

"Called them on a Saturday. The owner came to my house within a half hour, gave me an estimate and said that he would return within the hour with tools and materials. His crew arrived, assessed the problems, told me what I needed, explained the repair process and proceeded. The young men were extremely knowledgeable and very fast. The installed new parts, checked all the old ones and got my system working perfectly. I would highly recommend this crew for any yard project. Dr. Miller"

"Hurricane Sally completely destroyed my den. Ridlon Contracting demolished the remaining structure and completely rebuilt my den for a very affordable and fair price. Ronnie was very responsive and honest regarding the extent of the damage and what it would take to restore it to code. The end product was superb! Ridlon is the real deal!"

"To hire Daniel and his company Catalina Land Management to clear about six acres in the middle of 13 acres on my property in DeFuniak Florida. They did an outstanding job and within a week I had five acre plot graded out smoothly with next to no extra roots left to pick up. Site was clean no trash or debris left behind. I wish I could say the same about the company that built the home. Will definitely work with them again if ever needed in the future"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
