Commercial And Home Services Unlimited LLC is your go-to team of professionals for all of your plumbing needs as well as most services needed for your home or business. We work tirelessly to meet and exceed your expectations and constantly strive for perfection. Give us a call today, and let's get started!

"The man who came to do the work was professional and did the work as directed by his supervisor who didn?t know basic electrical knowledge. He was instructed to use smaller wire and much bigger breaker than is required and not what we asked for nor what was quoted. What he installed was extremely dangerous and fire hazard particularly since it was under the house in the crawl space where a fire would go undetected till too late to save lives. The electrician who came here had to replace everything he did to our specifications turning a hour and half job into a six hour job. It doesn?t appear that the electrician in charge is an actual licensed electrician and clearly doesn?t know what he is doing. We worry about the young apprentice sent out to do the work will end up killing somebody from following instructions from his incompetent boss. "

"Told me a price which was fair and stuck to that price . He had the job done within one week. He did a front sidewalk and a concrete pad in front of garage. He brought in gravel. But before he did those things he graded the road so the slope to the garage was not so steep. We had 2 other guys work on the slope and we were not satisfied but he fixed it. Loved his work!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
