"With our rather old cabin-style home, the plumbing from the kitchen sink had a plug of hardened grease over 30 years old. We discovered this the first day when they drilled through it with a snake; we had them return a couple of days later with a hydrojet unit to clean it out. Our house is located in the mountains, and may not be particularly easy to get the equipment out here, but they had very little difficulty. They used a lengthy hose to go around the back of the house, then sent the nozzle through the pipe behind the trap to clear it out. I was originally concerned about navigating past the elbow joints in the pipe, and the fact that we have a septic tank that I didn't want to fill up; but neither was a problem, and the job was done in about an hour. The sound of the drain flowing never sounded so sweet."

"This job probably would have gone much smoother if the contractor had been at the job site regularly. One man was very competent, but the help hired needed lots of supervision. And since the dryrot portion was time and materials, I was very frustrated, workers were late, talked on their cell phones, and were not efficient. The contractor's response when I told him I thought he was going to be on the job site was, "I never said I would." He relied on daily conversations with the main carpenter. This might have worked had better workers been hired. After 4 months, a second competent carpenter was higher for a short time and that went well. I think the stucco sub-contractor did a good job but they were messy. The sheetrock sub-contractor took a long time patching, often missing spots and returning. The tile sub-contractor did not lay the hand-made tile very well so I have a constant reminder on his work. The painter did an pretty good job (the stucco is very rough)."

"He was available by phone, and was flexible in scheduling meetings which is great. He was professional, and seemed quite knowledgable. In the end, I didn't use Nato's services because his quote was twice as much as the other contractor I was considering. Perhaps his prices may be more competitive in other services he offers. Either way, working with this company was a pleasant experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
