"Don and his workers were amazing. I was hit very suddenly last year with a chronic illness and can no longer carry anything heavy and I have extreme reactions to any sort of mold or allergen. With my fiancee working mandatory overtime for the last 7 months, our trash had built to a level where we couldn't catch up. Don and two workers came in and not only cleared out all of the trash bags on our porch, but also bagged up stuff from the house, and took old furniture that we've been trying to figure out how to get out to the curb for months. In less than 2 hours, they completed something that had been hanging over our heads for almost a year. It feels amazing! Don's customer service went above and beyond as well. He came and did a free estimate a couple days before the cleanup where we showed him everything that needed done. When he arrived with his crew, he double checked with me to make sure it was all still the same, and when they finished, he took my fiancee from room to room asking if they had removed everything we wanted him to rather than just telling us he'd finished up. He even sprayed Febreze on the porch for us. I 100% recommend D&J Excavating for any kind of trash, junk, or appliance removal. The pricing was reasonable, the service was quick and efficient, and Don made sure we were fully happy with the job."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
