"I had a great experience with A&M Excavating in Lincoln Park, NJ. Their team was professional, reliable, and did an excellent job with the drywall excavating services we needed. The work was completed on time, and the site was left clean and organized. Highly recommended!"

"We recently bought a house in need of work, my wife and I thought it would be a great idea to do our own projects around the house. Soon enough , we realized we had no idea how to proceed with our outdoor space. He hired Andres general construction, they provided guidance and a great customer service. We are very pleased with the outcome. I will be definitely hiring them again for future projects. Thank you Andres!"

"We had severe drainage issues in our yard that damaged our foundation and landscape. Most professionals we contacted suggested short-cuts, as the real (long-term) solutions were very complex and costly. Kevin was the only one who came to us with the full package of long-term effective solutions and the expertise to handle all of it. He diagnosed, repaired and saved our foundation, regraded our property, and installed a beautiful new patio and landscape that others in the industry have complimented. Kevin is a perfectionist and his work shows it. To anyone looking for a cheap fast job, look elsewhere. But for effective drainage solutions, extensive construction knowledge, plant & landscape expertise, and amazing quality of work, you wonâ t find better than Kevin."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
