"I called John and left a voicemail and he got back to me immediately. He double checked that I needed a cesspool certification and not an inspection which would have been more invasive and costly, and once confirmed, scheduled them to come out that weekend. The man who performed the certification was right on time and was very quick but professional and thorough. Everything was seamless, and for something requested by the bank so last minute, we were grateful to get it completed so quickly."

"Elite Piping Solutions is an amazing company. I wish I could give them a 6-star rating because they are truly exceptional! They were prompt, courteous, and efficient at every step of the process. They followed up on my query within a couple of hours, came to inspect exactly on the dot, did the research to get me the top-of-the-line replacement, and gave me a very competitive estimate. I independently verified the details, and everything was correct and accurate. The crew came when promised, did the installation well within the estimated time and left the place spotless. Not only that, but they also carefully took out parts of the system that could be re-used, neatly packaged, and left them in the basement for me. Other estimates I got were much higher, including extra charges for coming within a day. Another company would not or could not replace my system (which is top of the line) and added additional charges for "adjustments'! This company is the best!"

"C2G did a great job with replacing a buried oil tank with an above ground Roth tank. They were in on time, came prepared and completed the job quickly. They were also the only company that we came by that offered to remove the abandoned tank too."

"We were very,very pleased with Brian your local handyman. He repaired our deck quickly and very inexpensivly. There were others that came and made the job appear to be much larger and asked thousands instead of hundreds. Have already recommended him to a friend who also hired him. Very, very good choice."

"I was very happy with the work they did abandoning my below ground oil tank and installing a new above ground tank. They were able to save my plants located near the abandoned tank as well!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
