Q: Do chipmunk holes have two entrances?

• <div><p>Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping. </p></div>

Q: How do you locate an underground downspout?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How deep are septic lines buried?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deep-is-septic-tank.htm">depth of a septic tank&rsquo;s</a> drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn&rsquo;t shift much. </p></div>

Q: How long does it generally take to prepare and clear a building site?

• <div><p>Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.</p></div>

Q: Can I use metal detectors to find my sewer line?

• <div><p>No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.</p></div>
