A few days before Christmas, I noticed a small fountain in our front yard. A friend highly recommended Micah, so I called immediately. They advised me how to determine whether it was our sprinkler system or the main water line to the house. When we determined it was the main water line, they...

As far as the actual pool goes, we could not be happier. We got exactly what we wanted and in a relatively short amount of time. Now the bad part. I have an "L" shaped driveway that runs from the street to the back of my house. The first 30 feet of the driveway was poured two years ago. The...

During the insurance investigative process for a foundation claim, Accu-Find identified a number of leaks in the sewer line underneath my foundation. These were so extensive, that insurance agreed to cover access/egress to replace and repipe the sewer line, which was the most extensive and...

Once the work was agreed upon it was a couple of days before James could get an excavation crew to come dig the tunnel under the house. He said they contract with another company for the excavating but that they have a desired crew they like to work with. Those men were hard workers and...

ARS was provided through my American Home Shield Home Warranty. I informed ARS that the leak was located in the crawl space beneath my house. I spoke with the technician beforehand and informed him that I have a pier and beam foundation. When the technician arrived, he tried to inspect the...

"Please read to the end of this review I had a water leak coming through my foundation in my garage.

They arrived next day at 9:30am, completed all the work as promised by 3pm to an excellent standard, a very professional service. I give your staff a 5 star rating on the service I received. However the only negative comment is the price, I thought the price charged to be very excessive see break down Locate Leak $465.40 Access Panel (Cut into sheet rock 2 times) $679.48 Run single loop of 60ft of nylon hot water pipe $4413.53. Taking in account $200 for raw materials, correct me if I am wrong and 30 minutes for lunch break, a total of 5 hours. The labor rate works out to be $1071.68 per hour for 1 plumber and 1 laborer. This I believe to be unacceptable labor rate I have requested a justification but as yet I have not had a reply"

FAQs for excavation projects in Melissa, TX
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
