"After purchasing my first home, I realized quickly that things were less than perfect. 3 months in, we were finding water intrusion in our crawl space. I had multiple companies come to inspect what was going on. I didn’t feel confident in their solutions, there was more to our situation. After feeling helpless, I read about David Gibson construction. Their testimonies really struck my interest. A local expert, that won’t take a job unless it’s done right, and always found the root of the issue. David came over, surveyed the entire property, inspected the crawl space / foundation, did soil samples, and sent over an entire report on what he believed was going on. We immediately hired him.

At Cold Mountain Grading Company, we value relationships. Being local to Western North Carolina, we come from a mountain culture rooted in loving thy neighbor and doing right by one another. Our goal is to bring this mentality to our business by producing the highest quality work to our clients for the best price possible. From cutting in a fresh driveway to grading a new homesite, our services often represent the first step towards fulfilling an ambition for our customers, and we take pride in the responsibility of initiating the process for our clients to achieve their goals. Just as we have been blessed with the opportunity to operate this business, we aim to provide opportunities to our community.

"Robbie Moody, owner and operator of Cold Mountain Grading, is an exceptional young man. He is polite, professional, responsible, reliable and an outstanding problem-solver. His communication skills were excellent, and from his first visit, Robbie was able to offer solutions that others did not mention. He put in a new drain from the gutter, installed a new French drain along the side of the building that was too low, spread topsoil to raise about .5 of my yard, planted seed and covered with straw. Under my deck he built a retaining wall, and spread crushed stone to level. The job was done perfectly, and in only three days. I would definitely hire and recommend Robbie in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
