Who is responsible for construction dust?

• <div><p>Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-eliminate-drywall-dust.htm">Eliminating drywall dust</a> is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.</p></div>

Q: How deep are septic lines buried?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deep-is-septic-tank.htm">depth of a septic tank&rsquo;s</a> drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn&rsquo;t shift much. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to dig footers for a deck?

• <div><p>You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.</p></div>

Q: How deep are sewer lines buried?

• <div><p>This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are. </p></div>

Q: How big is too big of a tree to transplant?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.</p></div>
