"It is hard to find a team that is well managed. Kameron is a great manager of his team. He is a strong leader and his business has great communication. He is also very knowledgable and has great resources that help him be creative in his projects. He took on a very challenging home drainage issue I had that required putting perimeter drainage around two sides of my house. I had a leaking basement and a home that a very difficult rock in the depths of the earth. The project needed to be modified to meet the unique needs of ground conditions and Kameron and his team worked with the challenges and I appreciated the work they did very much."

"Fantastic. I could not be more pleased with Proficient Gradeings solution, execution and completion of the work He and his crew Did for me. From the start I knew I was in capable hands. Alberto LISTENED to the problems I was having that was destroying a large dirt bank behind my house. His SOLUTION made perfect sense and I had a cost estimate and time schedule the very next day. Alberto arrived on time, ready to work with needed materials and equipment. Even with some additional work I added on the work was completed on time and there was no mess left. I have already hired Proficient grading to come back and do another unrelated job for Me and I have no doubt it will be done correctly, on time and on budget."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

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.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.
