"I had an outstanding experience with Superior Services Contracting. They were professional, hardworking, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Their pricing was fair, they worked quickly, and the quality of their construction cleaning exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was that they went above and beyond by helping organize the items we were keeping, which made the entire process much less stressful. It’s rare to find a company that takes that extra level of care. I would highly recommend Shannon and his son to anyone in the area looking for reliable, efficient, and affordable construction cleaning services. Thank you both for the amazing job!"

"Extremely well done. Project had flooding issues. The crew dug a drain well, regraded the yard and input a French drain system efficiently, effectively and were really easy to work with. Jimmy was clear, communicative and quick. I will definitely rely on this company again when necessary. Fantastic experience!"

"FANTASTIC !!!! Pinpoint was an absolute pleasure - I hope I have future projects that I can call Alex for. He was very precise and careful in his work and ALWAYS implemented the way I wanted even as I made changes on the fly necessitating modifications and more materials. He also understands building codes and explained clearly so that we would not run into city permit problems. He was energetic and worked quickly - achieving a tremendous amount in a short time. Alex demonstrating that he knew how to bid the project properly, was diligent, and always communicated clearly. I have had a lot of experience with contractors in the past and there is no doubt that Alex is head above shoulders better, more honest, and very importantly - RELIABLE."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.
