We started in July of 2012 and began with one truck, a dream, and a passion for plumbing. We are still a “Mom and Pop” operation with a few service vehicles and office staff, yet we are still family owned and operated. Junior worked for very large plumbing companies and was simply tired of spending his days trying to convince people that excellent service must come with a hefty price tag. Plumbing became more about salesmanship and less about craftsmanship, so we saw a serious need to bring a family feel and great customer experiences back to the plumbing industry. Our team services every customer as though they’re walking into their own family member’s home, and our hope is that our customers all feel like a part of our family as well. Once you work with Junior’s, you will never have to call THE plumber again, you can now call YOUR plumber, at Junior’s Plumbing!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
