"Worked hard to fix our broken sewer line. Peru Utilities had no idea where our line was and didnâ t care once we found it. Seth along with a plumber got us fixed. Then they graded and sloped our yard for seed and straw. Highly Recommend"

"Bales Construction did an amazing job with our home renovation. We live in an old farmhouse that needed major renovation through the entire home. Even with the challenges of an old home, they did a great job on everything. Our contractor, Jake and his team, transformed our house into a home. They added a bathroom upstairs and reconfigured the entire floor, remodeled the dining room, kitchen, half bath, mudroom/laundry room, and master suite shower, added a pantry, and relocated our back door to make better use of our space. I recommend them for any project you have on your wish list!"

"Learn more ways to fix ceilings than, puttying more drywall up. I had to tell him a different way, cost effective- and will stay for dozens of years!! Putting the hard-wire down and put stalling up but, I told them at the end I wanted him to go match my textured ceiling. Instead, left it flat and bare, really noticeable- only for friendliness and price would I consider calling them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

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.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
