"Rooterman(Fadi) replaced my water heater.with one that is substantially taller. Another contractor who came to put in a sump pump informed me that it was an unsafe installation. Flexible connector is not straight and it is way too close to the ceiling. (my basement ceiling is low) It also looks like he used the old flexible connector because there is a small hole in it. The new contractor explained that if I had a problem with my gas and it had to be turned off that the gas co. would not turn it back on til the issue was resolved plus I could have a carbon monoxide leak with the placement of the flex hose. I had asked Fadi about that and he said "no it's fine". I was also promised that the old water heater would be removed. 2 months later it's still here (after multiple calls.) Now he's ghosting me. BTW He also begged me for a loan several times for $3200.00. Said he's being sued by the currency exchange and wanted cash for the job. Never got a contract either after being told it was in my email. Ghosted me on that too. If I could give 0 stars I would!!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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.
