"I needed the wooded areas of the property cleared of underbrush and they did a great job. It really made the area look neater and more wide open. It looks so much better. I wish I had done it sooner."

"I am a fellow small business owner. And due to COVID 19 quarantine, my virtual office closed for months. I acquired a small garden shed for my back yard/ land to convert into a temporary home office until. Well, I needed a picture window that I found at a local salvage yard installed. Needless to say I contacted many local contractors who either said my job was too small. Or they were not working due to the lock down. This through my business off. And caused me to lose time, customers and money. This was due to a lack of finishing the interior of the shed. After calling home advisor and being referred to RAFF Construction, they not only promptly arrived and did excellent service IN A RAINSTORM, they installed two additional windows for us. They NEVER made my small job feel LESS important. And they followed up to make sure we were pleased. These guys SAVED my business. And in turn saved my life. I couldn't be more pleased. I will definitely be using them for all of my future construction jobs."

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
