Customers say: Quick response

"Aziz was responsive, courteous, knowledgable, and skilled . I have had 2 recommended contractors no show for home repairs and I was getting discouraged. I reached out to Angi/Home Advisor and was matched with Aziz. He explained the repairs and showed me why the failed parts failed and explained why he performed the repairs he did. I trust him and plan to hire him again for a home improvement project when it's time."

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"I have been in the home building and development business for over 30 years and have experience with dozens of landscaping companies and I can say without a doubt that Greetrail Landscape and Design, Inc. is hands down the landscaper that will deliver for you. The quality of their finished work is impeccable. The ownership is extremely conscientious and listen to your needs or concerns. The crews are all business; there is no joking or standing around. They work extremely hard and every one of them is polite and professional. Today, April 3, 2021 they completed close to $7000 of work for me and I feel that I received every single cent worth and even more. The work was originally scheduled to start early next week, but Joseâ and Juan decided to start the work today, Saturday. I was assured they would complete everything in one day, despite the fact that it was more than a dayâ s work. They finished all work, didnâ t rush and the quality is of the highest level. I thank Joseâ and Juan both for their superb performance. I am a customer for life."

"I am located in Kansas City and needed a contractor to fix a drain at a real estate property I am responsible for in Illinois. Without me being onsite AKDK held communication, followed through with preliminary asks, gave me a reasonable quote, and kept up with our office process and was a pleasure to work with the entire way though. Thank you kindly. I was concerned about being so far away and these types of things can quickly go sour. But he restored my trust and got the job done in excellent fashion."

"A friend recommended Titan to me for a small excavating job I needed done at my commercial property. I worked with Brian on the project and everything went flawlessly. They showed up on time and did a great job. I was very impressed with the clean up after they finished. Since then, I signed a snow plowing contract to plow all of my properties."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.
