"I would definitely recommend Defeat Contracting to anyone looking for a fast fair construction project. I had them close in my carport and I could not be happier. The results are just what I had envisioned, and it was done in about three and a half days. We had to rethink some of the project and Remington took the changes to heart and we ended up with a beautiful outcome. Their work ethic was impressive, working hard each day and then leaving the site in great shape. Thank You Rem"

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!! What a great company. They did everything promised plus more. They showed up on time and actually finished about a day early. The quality of the work is excellent. The whole crew was very concerned about getting the job done to our satisfaction. The estimate covered everything, no add ons or surprises. I've worked with contractors for over 40 years and this has got to be one of the best I've worked with."

"Tanner did a great job clearing our land of blackberries and piling all the downed trees up, leveling the soil and making our property so much more accessible and usable! He was very nice and polite and understood exactly what we wanted. We will hire him again for the next phase of our project!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
