"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"

"Dave was hired to excavate under an existing cottage and install a basement/foundation. Additionally he built a patio and stairs down a steep grade. Dave did an excellent job and we are pleased with the final product. He encountered obstacles along the way that other contractors would have thrown in the towel, but he worked through these and delivered. The final work has received great comments from neighbors and friends."

They arrived in a couple hours to repair the broken pipe. Since then they are working on other projects. They very hardworking, professional, always respond in a timely manner and reasonable with pricing. We have been fortunate to have found them. Trust is everything."

"I ended up contacting the previous contractor per their suggestion due to existing warranty on pump. I will use them if I don’t get the original company to fix the problem correctly. Sometimes the best fix is the advice from a skilled contractor."

"The worker Miguel who came is an extremely pleasant, hard-working person
who was outstanding.  Move the truck because you're too close to the
shrubs?  No problem.  Have questions?  Ask away.  He was knowledgeable,
kind, and top-notch.  Arrived exactly when scheduled.
This
company purchased the old B & R Nauman septic service--an excellent
company.  I can see they have continued the tradition of excellent
service and FAIR prices.  I highly recommend them and will call them
again in a heartbeat.

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
