Q: How deep are septic lines buried?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deep-is-septic-tank.htm">depth of a septic tank&rsquo;s</a> drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn&rsquo;t shift much. </p></div>

Q: How deep are trenches?

• <div><p>Trenches are typically <b>12 inches to</b> <b>24 inches deep and 8 inches wide</b>. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.</p></div>

Q: How deep can a trench be without protection?

• <div><p>A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for ground to settle after tree removal?

• <div><p>It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you&rsquo;ll have more space for fresh soil.</p></div>

Q: What permits are required for excavation?

• <div><p>Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. </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.

He was very nice guy. He did the first quote and was willing to think out of the box with whatever I could come up with. He tried to bring down the price as much as he could but he still couldn't get it down enough for me to do it. He tried and he did a good job. He thought over it for a...
