"The work was beyond expectations, not only was the grading work and drainage lines done to blend in with the overall yard. He removed and disposed of 2 tree stumps that were not in the scope of work but in the area of grading."

"The two representatives that arrived from Mr. Rooter were on time and very professional (even wore boot covers inside the house!). We talked about the work I needed done and they worked up a quote.  The price was below what I expected so I of course asked them to go ahead and start.

My previous set of gas logs has been installed by someone who did not know the codes so of course it was impossible for me to change them out without turning off the gas to the house.  A shut off should be installed within five feet of any appliance.  The representatives from Mr. Rooter shutoff the gas to the house and proceeded to correctly install the shut off and flexible extension for my gas logs as well as installing a shut off for my water heater.

The representatives from Mr. Rooter even helped install the gas logs (which they don't do).  They went above and beyond the call of duty.  Plus they even answered every question my kids threw at them.  I would HIGHLY recommend them."

"I liked everything, he is a volunteer fire fighter like myself. Don showed up and did the work, he made my project happen. Don adapted even though I changed my mind multiple times he worked right through it and made it work. Don was always there when he said he would be."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
