"Efrain responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, explained how he would fix the retaining wall (including adding drainage so no future problems arose) and was very communicative. He completed the job when he said he would and it looks wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him based on my experience. Rarely do I find it enjoyable to work with someone on home repair, but he was excellent!"

Customers say: Quick response

"YHS installed french drains, regraded both sides of the house, pulled out 5 over grown bushes, removed ground cover and pea gravel, and level the front yard/laid seed. This was a large job and they did a great job. They were professional and very responsive. The pea gravel on the west side of my yard had caused issues with root growth on the bushes I intended to save. Juan let me know immediately, and luckily all the bushes survived and will be much happier in the dirt that replaced the pea gravel."

"I received at least 3 estimates from Angie. Dan from AKDK followed up right away and was the most specific and fair in his estimate. He started on the day he said, came promptly each time he said he was coming, and worked with my tenant's schedule. The men worked hard at several different indoor commercial projects, dealing with unique in- the- field challenges. The project consisted of drop ceilings, new lighting and switches, some wiring, moving walls (drywall and plaster), flooring, electrical, painting, etc. They performed each job well, to my satisfaction. The men cleaned up after each day with their own equipment (previous contractors used some of my tools and broke my vacuum!). I was so pleased, I actually looked for other projects I had been putting off for them to take care of. I highly recommend Dan and AKDK Services. When the job is complete, I will be looking into their cleaning services as well. How refreshing! I have owned several properties over the years and have experienced several service providers, some so happy to get rid of. AKDK stands apart. Thank you, Dan! (I will say I did not know them beforehand and received no renumeration for this review)."

"Highly Recommend T&K Builders We could not be more impressed with our experience with T&K Builders. From the beginning, Terry and his team were attentive, punctual, respectful, and professional. Terry personally walked us through the entire process from start to finish, including the design and material selections for our two-story, approximately 8,000-square-foot barndominium. Because we have a farm, we had some very specific needs. Automotive and RV parking were extremely important to us, along with a large, functional mudroom because we are constantly dealing with mud and farm traffic. Terry listened to what we wanted and helped design the space around how our family would actually use it. He and his team also continually worked with us to manage costs and offered different options when there were opportunities to save money without sacrificing the overall quality of the project. One of the things that impressed us most was the communication and oversight throughout the en"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
