Customers say: Terrific value

"I was contacted by the owner within a couple of hours of seeking an excavation pro through Homeadvisor. I met with Chuck to discuss the area of concern caused by outside rain and water runoff problems. The yard was resloped and pipes were attached to my downspouts (buried underground, opening of pipes coming out above ground at the end of my yard). I had additional issues with my yard that Chuck and his crew addressed. Great guys! I highly recommend this company!"

"I have an old farmhouse in Fisher Illinois, the house needed an entire new foundation. Hunter the owner of HK trucking and excavating was very knowledgeable and helpful in all the areas of our project, from digging out old foundation walls, grading access ramps for the block layers, and digging down to grade for the new footings that our house new sits in. He is very professional and has very nice equipment as proof of it."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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. 

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
