Can I partially bury an above ground pool?

• <div><p>Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.</p></div>

Q: How much does pool excavation cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-excavation-cost.htm">cost for pool excavation</a> is <b>$2,500</b>. This cost can range from <b>$450 to $4,500</b>, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. </p><p>When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional <b>$15 to $25</b> <b>per linear foot</b> to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it&rsquo;ll cost an additional <b>$2,000 to $20,000</b>. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages <b>$450</b> to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages <b>$3,020</b>.</p></div>

Q: Is trenching the same as boring?

• <div><p>Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it&rsquo;s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.</p></div>

Q: How do you locate an underground downspout?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What should I do before hiring an excavation company?

• <div><p>Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.</p><p>To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn&rsquo;t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.</p><p>Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.</p></div>

Dennis arrived right on schedule to perform a multi-tank pump out on our ATU. Dennis worked very hard and ensured that each tank was pumped clear and that any and all sludge was removed as this is an Automatic Treatment Unit and not a typical septic system.
