"Let me just say up until now, I was happy with this company. This is what happened to me. It all centers around a transformer, we provided for the tech in case he needed it. Well, it turns out he installed it improperly and it blew the transformer and the new controller. So now they gaslight us , and proceed to tell me, that I said my husband installed it, no I did not ever say that. I said that it had been replaced once and it was a new part. So one thousand dollars later, here I am, being called a liar, and having words put in my mouth, plausible deniability I guess. Anyway, I advise if you provide parts, document, take pictures and or video, and have the tech sign a list of parts installed. Now, I have totally lost trust in anyone I hire to do work on my home, thanks for that. And I will now have to find a new company to work with near me, and that is not easy to find. I got screwed by another company, that's another story"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

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.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher. 

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.
