"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."

"Very respectful and friendly. Needed to have a site cleared for construction and they were able to accommodate my needs as I lived on the property at the time of clearing and grading. I was more than satisfied with the results and time it took for them to complete the job."

"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."

1st Response Plumbing and Flood Damage Restoration in San Diego. Plumbing, Water Damage Repair. Locally owned and operated and has been in the plumbing industry for over 15 years. First Response Flood Damage & Plumbing was founded on the principals of high quality and speedy plumbing service for both residences and businesses. We have made it our mission to be the most available and widely used plumber for our San Diego neighbors.

"These guys accepted a service call via my home warranty company for a well pump that wasn't functioning. They came out to inspect it. 24 hours passed and no estimate was received. I called and texted with no response. Keep in mind that this is the well that provides water to my house. I start calling the home warranty company and they cannot get a response either. Another 24 hours pass and they finally respond to let us know they don't service wells. Why the F did you accept the service call for a well pump, then come out to inspect the well pump, only to tell us you don't service wells 48 hours later? Steer clear of these guys!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
