"Glen and his crew performed a myriad of projects on an investment property of mine in Pomfret.   Their initial work was to install two gable dormers and a balcony, but I liked their work so much I had them tile a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, frame and sheetrock walls, install siding, paint, and they are still on the job helping me get done ahead of my original deadline.     I plan to work with him on several other renovation projects in the future...

"I hired DALTT Land Clearing to remove my above ground pool, pool deck, and other old junk and debris from my yard. The owner, Don, was professional, punctual, and very informative throughout the entire process. The job was done in a day and I am very pleased with the outcome. Very reasonable price was an added bonus. I would highly recommend hiring DALTT Land Clearing if you have a similar job to be done or other excavating needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
