"Should be NO STARS. After agreeing to project, Currans kept delaying the starting date for 7 months. Went with another contractor. 17 Feb 2025 – Chose Currans to do the project. 24 Mar 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: "...end of April..." (no activity in April) 20 May 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “waiting for weather to clear” 1 Jun 2025 – Phillips: Asked to postpone until July, due to travel. 8 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “You all are on the schedule”. 26 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes, sir. 100%” that we are on schedule. 31 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Shooting for August 16th” 15 Aug 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes sir. You’re up next week.” 28 Aug 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes sir. Things have been hectic between your schedule and mine. I will let you know something definitive this afternoon.” Nothing heard since 28 Aug 2025"

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.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.
