"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."

"????? Amazing service from ZenR Junk Removal! I had junk piled up in my garage from the floor all the way to the ceiling, and ZenR Junk Removal came in and completely transformed the space. They were professional, hardworking, and made the whole process incredibly easy. Now my garage is finally cleared out, and my dogs actually have a clean, comfortable place to sleep because I converted the entire garage into a massive doghouse for them. Seeing the finished space and knowing my pups can enjoy it makes me so happy. I highly recommend ZenR Junk Removal to anyone who needs reliable, efficient, and friendly junk removal service. They truly go above and beyond!"

"It went well. The two man team came within the scheduled appointment window, worked quickly, completed the removal quickly, and made sure that the area was clean before they departed. They were professional, willingly answered any questions, and were courteous. The appointment was made through Angie's list, the main office was quick to respond , schedule the appointment, and provided a site unseen estimate upon receiving a description of the materials to be removed that was pretty close to the final price."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
