"Do not call this company! Call your local municipality first. My 75 year old mother-in-law had a basement floor drain back up late the night of June 20. Called Mr. Rooter and they came the next morning. They charged 270 dollars to clean from the house to the sewer. The town and the county will do this for free. Then because this did not solve the problem they "snaked" inside the house using a spear head and partially cleared up the problem. They claimed that there was a calcium blockage that could not be cleared and quoted a price of about $3,700.00 to jackhammer and replace a pipe in the house. They never tried a different cutter on the snake. While snaking, they left a huge smelly flooded mess in the basement. Did not try to clean it. The next day the floor drain backed up again. Long story short, after talking to neighbors, we called the county and they came and cleaned from the house to the street using better equipment than Mr. Rooter did. Then we called a reputable plumber who snaked the inside of the house with the proper tools. The calcium blockage was actually grease that was easily cleared with a cutter head on the snake. Each person we spoke with were surprised that Mr. Rooter did not try to use a cutter on the end of the snake. They were not surprised that Mr. Rooter was looking to dig up the basement and replace a pipe to the tune of 3,700 dollars. Apparently they have a reputation. We also tried to contact Mr. Rooter with our concerns and were told a supervisor would call us. After making several calls, we were finally connected to a supervisor 13 days after our first attempt to speak to someone. He ended up telling us we had to talk to his boss. Still waiting to hear from him. I guess they are going to drag it out past the 30 day satisfaction guarantee. I don't exactly know that their 30 day satisfaction guarantee is, but we are not satisfied with them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
