"Hoyt Industrial Works was contracted to complete HDPE repair and install condensate lines at a hog farm in Virginia. Chase, the owner and operator, was very professional and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The job was completed without a hitch and in a timely manner. We look forward to using Hoyt Industrial Works in the future."

"I had a septic field that was 30+ years old. The county was requiring a whole lot more than i was anticipating. Austin Benton was referred to me by a friend. He always returned my calls, and was very prompt to explain and help me understand what i needed. Austin was quick to deal with inspectors and worked diligently on a not so easy fix for my residence. I cannot overstate this enough. He and his crew did a tremendous job. If everybody had work and business ethics that this young man has the world would be a better place."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
