"I recently worked with 2T Earth Worx for an excavation and site grading project, and they exceeded all my expectations. The quality of their work was outstanding, with every detail meticulously handled to perfection. Their team exhibited remarkable professionalism, showing up on time, maintaining clear communication, and staying committed to the project timeline. What impressed me most was their efficiency. 2T Earth Worx completed the job ahead of schedule without compromising on quality, ensuring the site was perfectly graded with excellent attention to drainage and leveling. It's clear they take great pride in their work and prioritize customer satisfaction. I highly recommend 2T Earth Worx for anyone in need of top-tier excavation and grading services!"

"The guys did an excellent job in my opinion. They had to do some excavating to get down to the pipe. The complete pipe was replaced, not patched in. The septic tanked was pumped out, inspected, and an access cover was installed above the ground for future cleaning. The guy did everything to the tee that he told me he was going to do before he started. He completed the job in one day like he said he would, and he put back all the landscaping back exactly how it was to begin with. I would have Western Septic come back in a heartbeat and do any repairs that I have in the future. Super nice guy, friendly, and was very reasonably priced for all the work he performed for me. 100% satisfied, that's for sure."

"We received a settlement for some damage to our property. The settlement was initially for repairing the sagging floors and water damage under our porch but we also needed a new roof. We contacted several companies with little response. Most didn't even seem interested in doing the work. Mr. Walker responded right away and was able to do the work within our budget. The quality of the work was outstanding and we couldn't be more pleased. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
Summer and Fall. Depends on rain.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
It takes skill, equipment, and expertise that you likely don't have.
