"I met Blaine and his father, Ron in December. I instantly knew they were the people I wanted to do the job. As we walked around my yard I was impressed with their knowledge and courtesy. I was particularly happy to hear they'd been in this business for 3 generations. I interviewed two other companies getting the obligatory 3 references. The difference between the 2 and Blaine was night and day. Neither of them really knew what they were doing. One, it seemed had to check with my engineer on every step. Blaine knew exactly what to do without consulting anyone (except sometimes his dad)- they were a Team! They are the experts. The job was finished sooner than expected. I've never seen people work so efficiently.. They worked in tandem with the structural engineers specifications. Although I don't think they needed his instructions. They left a very clean worksite (after excavation work!) I highly recommend this excellent company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.
