"Dave and Monarae are great. Monarae is excellent at communicating with her customers and Dave does a great job in a very timely manner. I would recommend Earthworm for any excavating needs."
"Originally we had thought there would be no excavation, just a concrete floor. When we probed the possibility of an excavation that would involve removing about 1800 cubic feet of dirt, Greg Mitchell said that they had not done a job this large and he had to think it through. He came to our house and we discussed multiple ways of removing the dirt, considering time, cost-effectiveness, and keeping the house clean. Greg was quite easy to talk to. One of the options discussed was a conveyor belt through a window-well, another was dump trucks in the back yard, but ultimately the solution that made the most sense was to dig down outside the front of the house, cut a temporary hole in the foundation, shovel the dirt onto a conveyor belt that would extend from the crawl space and connect with a second conveyor belt that took the dirt into a dumpster. Once the job started, it was realized that this was not fast enough and multiple conveyor belts inside the crawl space were utilized so that dirt would only have to be handled once. Some of the dirt was too hard to excavate using hand shovels, so power chisels were used. Removing the dirt was over the half the cost of the entire operation. The workers seemed to take pride in their work. Greg was prepared to do a spray fire-proofing but we decided to do wallboard. We also added the steel trowel finish. We feel that he handled this and other slight changes nicely as the job progressed, and the final cost to us was very fair."
"I take great consideration to my previous customers when issues arise after completion. Although we make every attempt to make a return unnecessary, situations arise when itâ s inevitable. D&J Excavating has been prompt to return and take care of any issue without cost to the homeowners."

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
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.
While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
