"As a new homeowner, I have had so many contractors try to get the best of me when they see I still have a lot to learn.  I met with 4 or 5 other plumbers before John Harris, and it felt like a fresh breeze had come through. 
Super friendly when I first called in the morning, he offered to meet with at my house to take a look around that very same day in the evening.  He even did some research of his own volition, calling the city to find out where the city sewer line measurements were in my back alley since I told him I had a main sewer line issue.  He came prepared and happy to explain exactly what he would do to replace the sewer line, which was something I really appreciated. 
Anytime I contacted John, he responded literally within a couple of minutes.  He came by in person to sign a contract for the job, which he wrote up in detail to the terms we had discussed.  On top of all that, he moved up the date of the job sooner when I told him the sewage back-up had gotten worse unexpectedly.  On the day of the job John and his company showed up on time and completely prepared for work.  They somehow broke up my concrete sidewalk, excavated the old cast iron sewer pipe and laid new PVC pipe across my entire backyard in just 6 hours (I thought it would take all day)!  They cleaned up after the new pipe was buried, and they were as careful as possible while moving around large pieces of concrete.  They made sure to show me how the water was flowing through, and I felt so relieved and confident the sewage would now be leaving my house without any issues.
BOTTOMLINE: John Harris is a rare find in a sea of tradesmen who either don't know or care about what they are doing.  He takes pride in doing good work.  He is intelligent and caring, and won't rip you off.  Calling him for any plumbing job will be something you wish you had done sooner!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
