"The working team headed by the owner, Christopher, did a very good job in removing big trees on my property. We were satisfied on how they carried out the system in doing it; both for the safety of the property and of the workers, too. They tirelessly worked; rain or shine and finished the job in 2 days! Amazing workforce! Highly recommended!"

"Mr. Korey, his assistants and foreman Jar Head Roy are down to earth hardworking individuals. I had opportunities to see Korey busting his rump on task leading his crew. Jar Head Roy, had been to my property before due to a hurricane months before this last one that had changed our lives. Honestly, without these good men from a place afar, I donâ  t know what I could have done. Thank you, thank you. Korey, keep doing what you do Sir.!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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. 

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
