Customers say: Quick response

"Paul and crew were fantastic. He came out several times to quote the work and to rework the quote to better fit in our budget. We had an existing deck extended and a ramp added, a new garage stairway built and a new deck built for our front entry. Our big focus for this project was improving access from the house to the outdoors for both my handicap husband and our aging arthritic dogs. He’s a busy guy (because he is good) therefore we had to wait awhile for the project to begin but it was worth the wait. They showed up on time every day until the project was completed. He asked for design clarification when necessary and changed coarse without complaint when changes needed to be made. Honest, trustworthy and talented. The quality of his (and crews) work was top notch. Paul takes pride in the quality of the materials used and his workmanship which shows in the end result. The deck in the front is a beautiful extension of our home that not only “classed up” the entry but extended our livable space in this home. Both my husband and I have many decades of home improvement under our belt and can say with confidence that Paul is a fantastic resource for any project you maybe considering. Very pleased."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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.
