"Day one had to loan technician tools to do job. Could not run temporary line as he had left it at another job. Was told emergency service would be applied to line replacement It was not. No show no call two days. When I called on friday to see what was up was told a manager would call back. He called but didnt know anything about me calling Friday. He was calling to collect for an uncompleted job. Debris were left at front door a pile of chipped cement where 90 year old blind woman has to pop out to get her newspaper. Then not once but two different times the same individual left the front porch chairs blocking the front door. Had she come out she could have fallen. They left her without water for 5 hours. Could not take her pills. Large Bush still tied up the way they left it. They went through all the trouble to run a solid ground wire from the street to house only to splice 2 ft away. To contact Mr Rooter Tucson you have to call Colorado. No local support. Says family owned but where is the family? Have photos to prove."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
