"Colt’s property service has done multiple projects for me and has done a good job with all of them. Most recently he regraded underneath my deck. And replaced the old footings. It was very tight and tricky to get a machine in, but he managed with no problems. Would definitely recommend going forward."

"I found a surprise abandoned UST when excavating my front yard for a carport. After spending weeks online researching, reading horror stories, and becoming more panicked and confused I narrowed prospective candidates down to 4 companies and began the vetting process. I spoke with Shelley at Alternative Petroleum and immediately clicked with her. She answered all of my preliminary questions, clearing up some fact vs. fiction I had read online, and had a confidence in her manner was very reassuring. I didn't wait to get all estimates because I made my decision to go with Alternative Petroleum after our conversation. Was I ever right! Maria, Shelly, Dominique and Sal were very responsive in answering all of my questions and explaining the process in detail. They returned my calls right away and always exhibited patience and a bit of much-appreciated stress-relieving humor. Sal was on-site at 8am with his crew - all very professional, respectful, hard working guys - and they quickly got the tank pulled from my extremely tight space without damaging anything (retaining wall and paved walkway). My neighbors even commented on how clean and efficient they were. This is a family-owned business and you get the feeling they really like working together and enjoy what they do. Sal's phone never stopped ringing and I can see why. Each person involved with the business is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and professional. I had encountered so much conflicting information online and from the different companies I spoke with that I was braced for the process to be a nightmare. Thanks to Sal and Company I was wrong! I'm incredibly grateful I found them. I can recommend Alternative Petroleum without hesitation, they are THE BEST!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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’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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
