How do I know if my well was dug or drilled?

• <div><p>Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. </p></div>

Q: How wide of a hole does a trencher make?

• <div><p>Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you&rsquo;d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).</p></div>

Q: Who do I call before I dig in my yard?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning to dig on your property, you&rsquo;ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won&rsquo;t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues. </p></div>

Q: Is a trenchless sewer line worth it?

• <div><p>Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner&rsquo;s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my soil is too hard?

• <div><p>Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look. </p></div>

The most horrible experience we ever went through. The problems started when they installed a driveway that was very steep. Contractors had a difficult time getting to the house and our car could not go up the driveway. We told Don Getgen our concerns and he suggested moving the driveway further...

Had what I thought was a broken hot water heater after finding standing water in 2 separate storage areas of a partially finished basement. Turns out it was drain overflow into 3 separate areas of a semi-finished basement. And it had been happening repeatedly for over a week and I didn't know...
