"Sika masonry did a good job on my Rock wall. The boss, his son Seloti, and Tim are all hard workers and have met my expectations. They are finishing off the privacy fence now and they know what they are doing. They work at a good pace and do know their jobs. If I need anything else done I will call Sikhs Masonary again."

Emergency services offered

"Stuart had previously assisted me with several plumbing issues two years ago. Compared to other plumbers, I found him knowledgeable, very good at problem-solving, efficient, and thoughtful in explaining options. This year, my cast iron plumbing began to show signs of deterioration, but Stuart, along with his team, have diligently addressed a myriad of issues with patience, skilled work, and perseverance. I think any homeowner approaches major repair and remedial work with a certain amount of anxiety, but Stuart and his company have demonstrated proficiency and skills that I know can be relied upon."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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. 

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
