"I had a great experience with this handyman. Very affordable, professional, and reliable. He showed up on time, explained what needed to be done clearly, and finished the job quickly without cutting corners. The quality of work was excellent, especially for the price. It?s hard to find someone honest and skilled these days, but this is definitely someone I?d recommend and hire again."

"I called American Drain about a problem with my pool. They were able to help me discover the problem on my own. They clearly went over their pricing and practice. I would use them in the future but hope I won't have to!

"The job was well done. The space was very tight and required a creative way to accommodate a washer and dryer on the same wall. The contractor solved the problem and reconfigured the plumbing exactly the way it needed to be. I would definitely recommend this contractor."

"New kitchen was done over by Artisin Contractors that I would not recommend to anyone. New kitchen sink was installed by them and was not done correctly. After months of leaks and water telling them they need to get a real plumber at my house and not a carpenter to fix a plumbing problem he finally called Grade A and got me a real professional plumber. His name is Roy and very professional and knew exactly what the problem was. Roy fixed the problem. He respects your home, when he interned my home he covered his shoes. Very nice man. Thank you."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
