Q: What are the rules for trenching and excavation?

• <div><p>The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don&rsquo;t hit any electrical or gas lines.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a crawl space be under a house?

• <div><p>A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of excavation?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/excavation-costs.htm">cost of excavation</a> is around <b>$3,200</b>. Most jobs fall somewhere between <b>$500 and $15,000</b>, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.</p></div>

Q: How do you locate an underground downspout?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to finish a crawl space?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-crawl-space-encapsulation-cost.htm">encapsulate your crawl space</a> to protect it from damage for an average cost of <b>$5,500</b>. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn&rsquo;t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won&rsquo;t be able to use the area as living space.</p></div>
