"Trust was the biggest priority. They came within days that they said they would. I paid them half and the other half when they completed the job. They worked non stop until the job was done. The trust comes from the fact I paid before they started and their was no time set for the beginning or the completion . Signing this agreement was concerning . My anxiety over this matter was fruitless, because they proven to me and my Wife that we did not make a mistake. This is why I gave them the highest rating I could. You cannot get a company with that much integrity . This was the very first time I did not have to beat myself up over a shady company . If anyone is reading this I would highly recommend them . You will not be sorry !"

"We made initial phone contact and scheduled cleanout for the following Monday. I realized that was Labor Day and called them back to see if that appointment was a mistake. They realized it was and said they would contact me back to reschedule. They never returned my repeated phone calls to reschedule. I got the impression they did not want to be bothered with my septic cleanout."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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 best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
