"Initially, we thought that all went well. Then when we needed to contact the company for the second phase of the work, it took multiple calls to reach them and get an appointment set up. Then multiple calls were required to get an appointment set up for an annual inspection of the furnaces in our home. By the time the third phase of the work was to be done, installation of a whole house AC unit, our frustration level was high with the previous lack of response, so we called in another contractor to get a new quote. At that time, we were told that the evaporator coil was not installed correctly and to fix the issue there would be an additional $1,500 in labor costs. I then spoke to another HVAC engineer and after talking he agreed the coil would not work as installed. To follow up with that, the local representative of the furnace manufacturer and AC unit came and looked at the installation, and agreed that the system would not work as initially installed, and if it did work at the start there could be problems down the road because the condensation from the coil would not be able to drain as required. When I was finally able to contact Eco and communicate with the owner, which he would only do via email, he stated that he disagreed with the information provided by the other people I spoke with, and he felt he had solution to the problem (but that wasn't part of the original quote for the overall project.) In the end, his final words were "If your other contractor can't figure that out, I suggest you keep shopping. We thank you for your patronage, and wish you the best of luck." Not much help, in our opinion. When all was said and done, we had to have most of the work that Eco did redone. Although the previous reviews on this company were good, that was not our experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

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.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher.
