"Brian did an excellent job.. He was was extremely professional, reliable and his prices were reasonable. He picked up and moved a new couch for me. It was very heavy and had to brought into my home through a difficult and small entranceway. He also removed and disposed of my old couch and a huge box. He was a pro! Also, he added my job on at short notice and at the end of his very full work day. I couldnâ t have asked for a better company to help me. I highly recommend BRG Properties, Inc."

"I have only great things to say about Mor--friendly, efficient, honest, and economical. Mor is also very knowledgable about the permitting process. Our project with Mor was demolition of a residential property not worth rehabbing. They guided us through a difficult application process with the city that included numerous delays on the city's part. When the time came for demolition, Mor was fast, efficient, and handled the cleanup promptly and capably. I would recommend Mor without hesitation for a similar project. If mine was an indication of the quality of their other work areas, your project will be in the best of hands!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.
