"Adkins Plumbing & Contracting LLC went above and beyond with extreme professionalism and extraordinarily time management! My home needed complete water main line replacement and sewer replacement both to city connections, along with complete replacement of all piping inside! Along with this, my house was sagging inward, main beams compromised, Jarred had the whole project completed in less than a week! Other contractors in the area couldnt start for more than 2 weeks, this amazing crew got all my issues completed with clear communication throughout the whole process! Phenomenal doesnt even begin to describe this man and his crew! If you need anything for your home, contact Jarred at Adkins Plumbing and you know you will be in professional and caring hands!! Thank you Jarred, you literally turned a nightmare into my dream home!! This man and his crew seriously delivers! Top notch work and professionalism is hard to come by these days, both are ingrained within this man!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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 joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
