"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."

"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

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
