"Darin and his crew at Hilltop were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and timely. Hilltop handled the excavation, permits, concrete pour, framing, electrical, roofing, siding, and finish of the garage project. It will definitely be an added value to my home. Hilltop did an excellent job, especially in the adverse winter conditions. I would absolutely hire Darin/Hilltop again. Darin was also excellent in communicating via email, text, and/or voice. This was a convenience to me as I do not have cell reception at work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
