"Humberto, the owner of the company called back right away. I had an odd job that needed a lot of brainstorming, and he came out to the property and spent 2hours brainstorming with me. I knew he would be dedicated to the job, and I was right. He and Gabriel worked together in cold 40 degree weather to finish the job on time. I would definitely hire him again and would recommend to anyone!"

"I was very pleased with Ray's plumbing services. He made it hassel free, he was efficient, professional, finished the job promptly. He was not pushy, however he was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions without* making me feel like an annoyance, as others have made me feel in the past and wanted to rush through and collect money. I Highly recommend Ray's Rescue Plumbing to my loved ones and to anyone looking for a trustworthy company. -Services provided: front of hous, entire faucet valve & pipes equipped/replacement; had unresolvable water leakage. Simply from being an older home the pipes had visible begin showing corrosion from due time"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
