A company built on core values of honesty, hard work, respect, compassion, and consistency, TLC Plumbing is dedicated to consistent excellence when it comes to servicing your home or business needs. Locally owned & operated. Additional DBAs - TLC Plumbing & Heating Cooling, TLC Plumbing & Utility.

"The technician arrived on time and was pleasant and professional. we discussed various options for cleaning the drain and I chose power jetting based on the technician's recommendation for our situation. Unfortunately, they only have one machine so it could not be done until the following Monday at the earliest (three day wait). Since I needed to be able to use the sink, I opted for power drain snake procedure. We also explored replacement of the garbage disposal but they only carried an inferior brand so I opted to simply have our old one removed and the needed drain piping installed. This took longer than expected due to the technician failing to pick up all of the parts needed to complete the task and having to return to their parts supplier. The work was eventually completed satisfactorily. The tech cleaned up nicely and the piping continues to work well three weeks later. I would possibly use TLC again, but would seriously consider others based on this experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, 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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
