They called me back right away. Came to look at the property the same day and provided a quote the following morning. They were very pleasant and helpful. We had to delay the project due to an illness in the family, but hope to work with them soon.

The septic tank had already been pumped this summer, but it was giving us trouble. The provider came and turned some paper loose that had gotten wedged. No pumping was necessary, even though we had a lot o rain this summer. The pumping by him, back in July, cost $350, which was kind of steep.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
