Hi, I'm Josh. I am 31 years old and currently looking to pick up side jobs for the weekends or after work on week days. I have been in excavation for the last 9 years. I Started as a laborer and worked my way up to foreman. I am trying to start a small side business to bring in extra income in hopes of growing to full time. My experience is in grading, pipe work, landscape, retaining walls, concrete flat work, paving and much more. I take pride in my work and strive for excellence. So Whether you're a home owner with a personal job needing to be done or a business owner that needs some extra help on the weekends, contact me and I'll be more than happy to give a free estimate. (Feel free to send pictures and ideas to help with pricing) I do have a coworker that will be joining me in the work to help speed up the job. I am located in cornelius and able to travel. Looking forward to working together.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
