"Duane and his helpers were very prompt and showed alot of understanding how urgent time was in this situation. We had a home closing in just a few days and he coordinated with a pre cast septic manufacturer and the county inspection official to make sure we met the deadline!! Would 100% recommend him and his company to anyone I know."

"Three Peak Enterprises, did a phenomenal job on our land. From the beginning Alex was very communicative, very professional and above all very fair on his Quote. Once we agreed and decided to proceed him and his team came out and began work promptly and were able to deliver an end result in a timely and effective manner. They have brand new and very clean equipment which speaks to their professionalism. Overall great to work with and would absolutely recommend!"

I’ve been in the construction industry for well over 10 years I’ve mastered in different trades and as of right now I’ve been building high end pole barns and barndominiums. I’m located around northern Colorado and more south I also travel to Cheyenne Wyoming. \n\nI specialize in structural framing, laminate flooring, tile, drywall, pole barns. \n\nI treat my jobs like if I was building it for me. I pay attention to details on the projects I do.

"I needed someone to come out and clear all of our dry dead weeds, and no company wanted to come out because of the distance from town, but TJ and his crew did for a very reasonable rate and they got it done fast with no issues! they listened to exactly what we needed and were flexible and professional with the last minute changes. I will definitely be calling them again for any future projects!"

"Mario completed the job within a week of calling him, promptly and with no fuss. He was communicative during the entire process and easy to work with. When I requested a modification for framing after the drywall was already hung he was accommodating. The finished room looks wonderful and I would recommend them for their timeliness, professionalism, and attention to the client."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
