"Jarred and his crew tore down and rebuilt a deck 3 times the original size. Our house is a 2-story house that sets on a hill, which meant the crew had to carry all of their equipment, lumber, decking materials, and tools down 13 steps to reach the work area. It was a challenging project from the start. Jarred and his crew were friendly, respectful, and easy to work with throughout the project. Jarred listened to what we wanted and was responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. One thing that stood out was their willingness to tackle a difficult worksite without complaint and delivered a finished product that looks great and functions exactly as we needed it to. We are satisfied with the final result and are enjoying our new deck. Thank you Jarred and crew, for the effort you put into this project."

They took the time to clearly explain the scope of work, outline the timeline, and answer every question we had about protecting our foundation long-term. Communication was prompt and transparent throughout the entire process."

"We had a lot that was in bad shape with mobile home delivery service. I did not have a yard it was one trench after another all around the home. I hired Jeff and his crew to fix our lot. He leveled the lot and re sloped the steep bank so we could mow it our self and not have to hire somebody to mow it for us. They also built a ramp for the front door and for the out building. They did more for us then we though was in our budget. Jeff is a true professional, courteous, and easy to work with. When he was done my wife took one look at the yard and just broke out in tears because now she had a lot that she could have her flower garden. I forget to mention he sowed grass seed and covered it with straw. Did he go beyond our expectation? YES! Will we hire him again? There is no question we would. I can not say enough good about Jeff and David."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

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.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
