"We hired this person to do several jobs around our house including tree removal/debris clean up, roof repair from tree damage, and rebuild a fence from tree damage all after Hurricane Helene destroyed our property. He agreed to all the work and a price. The roof looked horrible. It was wavy, uneven, and just shotty work all around. He took several months to complete it and would often say he was coming on a specific day but never show up. My husband told him multiple times we needed this work done timely. Once he started working on the fence (the last thing to do and after 7 months!!), he failed to show up yet again. Wouldn't answer my husbands calls and texts or even my calls and texts. Disappointed in the lack of communication and intergrity of him. To leave a family hanging in such a difficult time shows the true character of him and his business. For that, I would never recommend him for any job big or small. I wish I didn't even have to leave 1 star. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.
