"The technician, Broderick, was very kind, quick, helpful & personable. I had a simple request of needing to remove an overly-tightened garden hose attached to my spigot. Broderick got it done in a spiffy but stayed a few extra minutes to recommend different hoses and attachments to me for the future, instead of rushing to move onto the next job, which I appreciated."

"Mr. Perry the 7th from Plumbing Paramedics was absolutely wonderful. He was professional and quickly diagnosed our toilet issue. His expertise was evident as he explained the problem clearly and corrected it efficiently leaving everything spotless afterwards. What impressed us most was his attention to details and genuine care and making sure the repair was done right the first time. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
