"Jimmy tested the house's water pressure and then identified the source of the hammering as an unsecured water line to my refrigerator knocking against a wall. Found a simple solution to the problem. Understand that Aries has been purchased by PK Plumbing. Hope they keep up the great service we have had from Aries in the past."

We're a small plumbing company with myself and 2 other employees. We don't subcontract much, asphalt and street replacement mainly. We are typically pay at time service rendered. For corporations and title companies, we will wait 30 days if necessary.

"Very responsive! I called Matt on a Saturday afternoon, and he replaced the garbage disposal the next day. Very reasonable price. The cost included the price of the new garbage disposal. Highly recommended!"

"This company was sold to a private equity firm in 2024. The new company does not show up for appointments. They do not honor warranties of past customers of Beig.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.
