"I had a problem with water not draining in my back yard. David was right there, quick to respond and quick to do my project. He was on time and here when he said he would be. He did very professional work and cleaned up and put everything back together perfectly. I would definitely hire him again and give him a 5 star rating. I can't tell you how much of a headache the project was for me. David tackled it spectacularly."

"Taylor was good to work with until there was a problem. I actually hired him twice (my mistake) When I brought forward an issue I discovered he was very angry and started insulting me viciously. He went as far as threatening to come to my home and destroy the work his company performed. I am a senior citizen he is a young man. I felt threatened by his behavior and would not recommend using his services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
