"There was water in the basement. The plumbers came and said there was something clogging the drain and that the terra cotta sewer pipes had collapsed. They gave me an estimate to fix it. I was upset that it was so high and they asked for a down payment. I asked why it cost so much and they said they didn't know the extent of the problem yet. They did come on Nov. 11th to fix it, but they left half of the concrete they dug up there. They didn't have room in their truck because they had to go buy a hot water heater for someone else and while they were in Butler, they wanted to get it since they live in Karns City. About 2 or 3 days later they came and picked up the concrete, but they left dust all over the floor. They did not bring a shop vac, and they used my broom to clean up the dust. There are still pieces of concrete on the floor, the floor is dusty, and there is a sewer gas smell. I didn't notice it right away because I had a sinus infection which impaired my sense of smell. One of them came out to fix it, but the smell came back. They have never come back after repeated calls. I only got a receipt for the down payment of $1368.75. I never got a receipt for the work done on Nov. 11th and no contract at all which they initially discussed. I don't know if they charged me the balance of $2833.31 or only $1500 which was what came out of my bank account. My card wasn't working right, so I may have paid the balance from another card. I want an accounting of the payment from Nov. 11th."

"Dave and AJ from Freedom Contracting & Excavating did a great job for a reasonable price. I had an idea for an outdoor griddle setup using natural gas instead of propane tanks. I thought it was a long shot but they were able to make it happen. Very courteous and straight forward. They even went above and beyond by helping me with the natural gas conversion on my griddle. I would definitely hire them again and if you need any gas line work done, call Freedom C & E for sure! Thanks again!"

"I've known Ed for years and he's always been a professional and upstanding guy. When getting a quote I just met his business partner Chevy, he knows his stuff about concrete with over a decade in the industry. Together they make a great team. We have done remodeling and construction for years and we knew exactly what we wanted and told them our plans and showed them the layouts. With a few suggestions and tweaks on their end, it was a fast easy project when we all worked together. Upstanding guys and a great price. We have them on board for our concrete contractors when we need them for renos."

"This project couldn't have gone better. The responsiveness was great. The price was great. The turnaround time on a project that was somewhat of an emergency couldn't have been better. From initial contact, through quote, and to start of the work, it took less than 48 hours. The crew was on time, clean, very friendly and respectful, and the work looks great. Couldn't recommend these guys more and I will definitely be using them for all foundation / waterproofing work going forward."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.
