"Our experience with Russell Laine Construction was hands down the best experience we've ever had with a contractor. From the initial contact and quote, to the finished product, Ed and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Professionalism, Communication and Workmanship were all excellent! We really appreciated the attention to detail and little extra touches that really shined through on the final product. During the construction process, we were always amazed at the little details that were added that we knew took more time and effort, but showed that Ed truly cared about the project and making things special for the homeowner. We would (and have already) recommend Russell Laine Construction to anyone looking to have quality work done on their home. You won't be disappointed!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I hired them to repaint wood siding and update the whole entire outside of the house (big part of house was built in the 1860s). They faced unexpected problems and found solutions without difficulty!! The house looks amazing, I have people stop by on a daily basis to let me know how great it turned out! The credit definitely goes to B and D and their crew!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
