"My experience with Marc at Make it Drain was fantastic. We had a problem with leakage under the house that we thought was fixed when we bought the place. Turns out two years later that something wasn't done right and we had wastewater accumulating from the kitchen. Marc from Make it Drain came out on short notice on the weekend to look at the job, and he gave me a great estimate, educated me about the issues, talked me through the process, and had a friendly but no-pressure approach. I had several other companies out to make estimates, and one of the estimates was three times what Marc quoted me!! When we arranged the job it was easy, and Marc and his guys showed up on time, did exactly what he said he'd do, kept everything super clean, took pictures to show me what was going on, and continued to keep me looped in so I understood everything. It was a painless process, done quickly and professionally. I will call them anytime I have plumbing needs!"

"Kelly from Castle Plumbing was phenomenal from start to finish. He came out to assess the issue, told us the problem, quoted us a price, and was back quickly to fix the leak. He showed me the broken pipe he had fixed and charged us exactly what he had quoted. He was in and out in about an hour, and it was not an easy space to work in under the house. Kelly was very responsive on the telephone, and he was super professional and polite! We will be hiring him to install a tankless water heater for our house. Great service!!"

Serving most of Southern California, Pacific Coast Copper Repipe Inc is a privately owned & operated company that has specialized in repiping for the past 22 years. We only do repiping, which enables us to complete your project quickly and efficiently, all the while keeping the price competitive. Pacific Coast Copper Repipe does not subcontract work. All work on your job is performed by payroll employees, properly trained, supervised and insured. We maintain both liability and workman's compensation insurance for your protection. To date we have completely repiped well over 8,000 single family homes and more than 1500 apartment buildings consisting of in excess of 12,000 individual units.

"The process was relatively smooth. The company owner gave me what I consider a fair bid. He also clearly communicated the scope of the project and how to prepare for it and he was able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. The crew showed up on time and dug right into to prepping the project. They were careful in moving items that had to be pulled away from walls and covering affected areas with plastic sheeting. The re-pipe took a day as promised and this was followed by a few days of drywall repairs for the many holes. This was spread over several days to accommodate the city inspections and repair of a related drain issue that was not part of the re-pipe. Both the pipe crew and the drywall person took care to clean up after themselves. PCCR also pulled the required city permits and arranged for the inspections."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
