"Absolutely love how my bathroom remodel turned out! The team at Shepherd Contracting was super professional and made the whole process so easy. They worked fast but didn’t cut any corners, and everything looks amazing. Communication was great the whole way through, and they actually stuck to the timeline (which never happens with renovations lol). Plus, they kept everything really clean, which I totally appriciated. If you’re thinking about remodeling, I 100% recommend them!"

"Sam went above and beyond for my initial project that I hired him for. I have since used him to plumb 3 houses that I have built. He has always showed up on time, finishes the job before the scheduled completion, delivered a great product/service, and is more than responsible on his pricing. I highly recommend Samuel with Alvarez Plumbing."

"If you are looking for quality work, you need contact TUBAC BUILDERS. Luis and Jesus were very knowledgeable and did a very good job for me. My biggest thing was I needed a lot of stucco repair in my house, it looks so good I can’t tell where it was fixed. They figured out a way to fix a gate that had not worked since I’ve lived here. I mostly needed maintenance work done but I’m positive they would do good work on whatever the project you had. They were kind, courteous and always on time. Give TUBAC BUILDERS a call, you won’t regret it Juillene Hewitt"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
