"I recently hired Lesterâ s Plumbing and Rooter to install a new bathtub, and Iâ m extremely satisfied with their work. From the initial consultation to the final touches, the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. The team showed up on time, and they were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. They took the time to explain the installation process and made sure I was comfortable with all decisions. The installation itself was flawless â they were careful not to damage any surrounding areas and left everything spotless when they finished. The bathtub looks and works perfectly, and the pricing was fair with no unexpected costs. If youâ re looking for reliable, skilled plumbers for a major installation like a bathtub, I highly recommend Lesterâ s Plumbing and Rooter. I couldnâ t be happier with the result!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.
