Q: Can you make a crawl space liveable?

• <div><p>Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable. </p></div>

Q: What kind of surface should a dumpster be placed on?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under permeable pavers?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do you locate an underground downspout?

• <div><p>To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber&rsquo;s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.</p></div>

Q: How far underground does a concrete septic tank need to be buried?

• <div><p>There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth&rsquo;s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank&rsquo;s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.</p></div>

Called before arrival, was thorough in reviewing my gutter/drainage problem. Uses a unique blower to also assess buried drain functionality- very important in understanding the gutter/dain system.
