"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
