Here at AJ Hetrick Enterprises, we do a wide variety of jobs for many different customers. We've been in business since 1998 and are an owner-operated business. Some of the things we specialize in (but not limited to) are construction (including pole barns), excavation, demolition, concrete, asphalt, driveways(can be what you decide, whether it be stone, concrete or asphalt), hauling off excess materials(dirt, stone, asphalt, concrete, A.K.A anything left laying around or is a displeasure to the eye), trucking (we have hauled loads for some well-known companies before, such as Monsanto during harvest or the local dairies with wet and dry feed. We also haul water from a local spring to Ice River Springs where it is bottled and shipped to stores nationwide). Have you ever had to chose which company you wanted to do your driveway, but didn't understand what they were saying due to use of industry-specific terms? When you choose us, we simplify it so you can understand what we're talking about. Let's say that this guy (Man A) says he can do your driveway for cheaper than we(Man B) can. A majority of the time, people like Man A get cheaper materials which decrease the life expectancy of the driveway. We give you the choice whether to choose a less durable product or a very durable and trusted product. If you're planning on moving soon (sometime within the next year) and need to make things look nice, my personal advice is go for the more expensive option. It will have a longer life and will hold up to the elements better, plus, if you mention that the driveway was recently redone, it can drive the price of the house upward, therefore gaining more profit for you! Back to the subject- If you ever find yourself in need of any services provided, please contact us! If you're interested in having a pole barn built but would like more information, please visit our website, http://ajhetrickenterprises.simplesite.com/ . If you have any questions, give us a call! - Abby Hetrick :)

At NuFlow Indy, our specialty is sewer line repair utilizing trenchless methods. We help our customers save time and money, typically over 20-50% vs dig solutions (which we also do). We proudly offer military and first responder discounts as well! Trenchless sewer pipe repairs allow us to restore drain lines and sewer pipes without having to tear up your residence or commercial building. Because of this, the process offers many benefits, including: *Repairs usually take only a couple of hours. *Less-intrusive techniques mean saving landscaping, flooring, and walls in homes & businesses. *Efficient services save our customers time and money. Trenchless repairs meet industry standards and local utility standards, which are permanent. Nu Flow Indy also has specialized equipment for: *High Definition Self Leveling Camera Inspections. *Cleaning 100% of the pipe, not just poking a hole so water flows for a few more weeks. * Fixing your problem with either Dig or No Dig solutions. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a free quote!

"After receiving an extremely high water bill I contacted a contractor that I knew to have him look into it. His analysis was that there was a leak in the main water line which is something he did not do. After doing some research regarding various companies that provide service in this area I chose Nu Flow Indy to investigate based on their expertise as shown on their website and prior customer reviews. Jason Long arrived to investigate and determined that the issue was in fact in the main water line. Jason explained exactly what the process would entail and gave me his personal cell number as point-of-contact. A quote was sent detailing the process and cost and I contacted Jason to proceed with the replacement. Though there were some unforeseen issues that were no fault of Jason or Nu Flow Indy Jason resolved the issues pushing through until the new main water line was installed, completing the install of the new main water line and hookup at 11:20PM on the 2nd day. Jason had a team come back to fill in the trench and a "dig site" leaving the area with as little impact as possible. I thank Jason, Adam, Brian, Rudy, Matt & Rico for their dedication/professionalism. Also I want to add that these gentlemen are Great people."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.
