"Karp Excavating did a super job clearing some land for us. Installed a driveway and leveled a pad site for a pole barn. They were timely and professional. We were very happy with the work. The barn started and I needed stone. I called and with in 1 hour I had two triaxle loads of stone. Zoe the dog was also there. She is the project manager. Haha"

"Chris was not only professional and timely, but answered all my questions before during and after finishing the work at my home. Left little to no mess. Quote was fair, after project completed I was over the moon with the price for the project. Hired him for Demo work. Ended up hiring him for one more job while he had the time. I would recommend Lone Pine Landscapes if you want communication, professionalism and a job well done!"

"We hired Dave to remove some ballast and dirt from a staged testing area we had set up to test switch machines here at Amtrak. They arrived on time and completed the job ahead of schedule despite some unforeseen obstacles. Highly recommend."

"Mr. Joe Cerra provided clear explanations of what our project options were and several creative suggestions. When the plan was agreed on he worked diligently to complete the work in a timely fashion in spite of inclement winter weather. Outstanding craftsmanship, Joe's repair left our chimney better than it was when originally built! On time & on budget! Great job!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
