"My experience with Marc at Make it Drain was fantastic. We had a problem with leakage under the house that we thought was fixed when we bought the place. Turns out two years later that something wasn't done right and we had wastewater accumulating from the kitchen. Marc from Make it Drain came out on short notice on the weekend to look at the job, and he gave me a great estimate, educated me about the issues, talked me through the process, and had a friendly but no-pressure approach. I had several other companies out to make estimates, and one of the estimates was three times what Marc quoted me!! When we arranged the job it was easy, and Marc and his guys showed up on time, did exactly what he said he'd do, kept everything super clean, took pictures to show me what was going on, and continued to keep me looped in so I understood everything. It was a painless process, done quickly and professionally. I will call them anytime I have plumbing needs!"

Southern California's (2009,2010,2011,2012,2013 & 2014 Super Service Award Company!) Residential & Commercial Professional Concrete flat work, Engineered Masonry Retaining Walls, Free standing Masonry Walls, Interlocking Paving Stones, Clay Brick, Natural and manufactured Stone applications. Family owned. Cost is determined by the job. Award winning.

"We could not be more pleased with the work done by Falcon Construction! The owner, Val Mataele, was accessible from the very beginning. He answered all our questions and addressed all our concerns in a thoughtful, patient, and professional manner. We knew from the outset that his exceedingly high rating on Angie's List was well founded and absolutely justified. His crew, headed by his very capable brother, completed the project in the time frame they had stated before they began. And the result? Well, it was amazing. The value of our home has been enhanced tremendously and we have a rugged, durable, and gorgeous parking section for our vehicles as well as another cosmetic section that is simultaneously strong and beautiful. Without hesitation, we would recommend Falcon Construction to anyone looking for peace of mind in the selection of a company specializing in the highest quality Concrete-Masonry-and Paving work!"

LICENSE # 662926. SPECIALTIES We always have and always will give you MORE than we promise. We have been making Southern homes safer from earthquake perils since 1954 through foundation repair, house bolting, floor leveling, site drainage, and a multitude of related problem issues. HISTORY My grandfather was a foundation contractor. I began going to work with him, my dad, and my uncles during school vacations starting in 1936. After leaving the service in 1954 I started my own foundation contracting company. One of my first projects was to bolt the home of a retired Caltech professor. We have been performing the same for a majority of the associates including much of the USGS staff at Caltech including the buildings that serve as their headquakers.

"It took a while — mainly because of COVID — but they were super professional and handled all the details. They made one billing mistake, but they corrected it. They aren’t the cheapest option, but they are VERY familiar with working with EBB and crossed all the T’s and dotted the I’s and it went very smoothly. If you are using EBB, I recommend them!"

At Daniel Cordova Plumbing we stand by our word and offer "Unmatched Quality Through Traditional Service" while providing reasonable and competitive pricing. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day or night. We use the most up-to-date equipment to make sure that you and your home or business are well taken care of. We offer Free in home estimates (no house call or office visit fees with scheduled appointments) and make sure that your home or office is just as neat and clean as we found it, if not better! We look forward to hearing from you and giving you the peace of mind you deserve when it comes to your household plumbing, sewers, and drains.

"The reason we had to deal with Daniel Cordova Plumbing is that they did an expensive project before and after that project the toilet was not properly working. They claimed it was a bad pump so we agreed to change it. 1. I asked to itemize the project, they never did that though the price for a one day job was $6505. 2. We ordered the pump they listed in the invoice but we had to return it paying $250 return fee because they claimed they already bought a pump and according to them there was no way to return it. 3. They refused to provide a receipt for the pump they bought. I was insisting on it since it is my right to know what pump was installed in my property and have pictures of installation as well. CSLB confirmed I am entitled to it. Instead they gave me NOT a receipt, but a very strange invoice with an absolutely different pump name on it and a date of purchase earlier than our invoice. The name which was never mentioned in the invoice. Was it a direct or indirect deception is up to you to judge, but it was not a receipt 100% and I still have no idea what pump was installed in my property. 4. Nick Giles threatened to take the pump away and leave us in a completely dysfunctional house only because I requested documentation I am entitled to. CSLB says I have plenty of ground to file a complaint. 5. I shared my experience with Daniel Cordova Plumbing. It is up to you to hire them or not. I would stay away from this company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.
