"Digworx came to my home to install a channel drain at the base of front walkway. Slade was a pleasure to work with and gave us a proper solution to water diversion on my property. We highly recommend Digworx for any drainage needs."

"This is my first time using Home Advisor. I am so impressed. I hired Bulldog Cont, Inc. Chris the owner is smart, nice & really listens to what you are saying. I met with other people but between Rosemarie in Chris's office who schedules everything and his employees I would give them TEN STARS! Anyone who knows me; knows I do not give compliments that easily. I will be using Bulldog Cont, Inc. Excavating again. I already referred my neighbor to Chris. Not only is my property WOW & beautiful; they do not leave my home until everything was cleaned up. WOW... I haven't ever seen that before. THANK YOU once again Chris, Rosemario, & everyone who worked so hard!! It was so appreciated!!"

"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

"Joe showed up when this was in the planning phase. This was to regrade the side of the house which caused flooding in the basement He guided the project planning items with his suggestions as well as accommodating me for the things that I wanted. He visited a second time when I was ready to make the final decision to hire him. The crew was polite and efficient. I would absolutely recommend him for the kind of work I had done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
