"they came up to give me an estimate and once we agreed on the estimate we setup a time for the next day to fix the busted pipe and change the valve due to being so close to the busted area of the pipe. they showed up on time and after the fix they made sure the pipe was not leaking. they were professional, courteous, punctal and reasonably priced. I recommend them to anyone and will definitely call on them again if needed to."

"Requested a quote and Paul called back in a short period of time. We scheduled a visit to view the property and he showed up on time. We agreed on a fair price for ongoing maintenance and a date to start. Since I was changing landscapers I needed a grass cut before our start date. Paul worked it into his schedule and did a great job. Looking forward to our ongoing relationship!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
