"We called so many plumbers and one “professional” company showed up and didn’t even bring exploratory tools. We found Adkins and they showed up with an excavator and shovels ready to find the problem in this frigid cold. They gave us a quote and started working at 4pm and stayed until 8pm to find the source of the sewer leak. They gave us a plan to fix it and a full price to which we agreed and they left for the evening to get parts and return the next day to finish the job. Couldn’t ask for a better group of guys. They were fully committed to fixing the problem and they even listened to us when we told them where and what we thought it might be. (If you’re a homeowner you know how that usually goes) They were a pleasure to work with on this repair and we will be calling them back to tackle a few more building projects. I might also add they didn’t try to gouge us and charge us for a complete sewer pipe install, like the big plumbing company tried to do."

Rodney Salmons 1 review a month ago Replaced all water lines underneath my house and did a very good job. Cleaned up good the guys was very respectful and was fast at it. Excellent work. 1 Susan Richards 2 reviews This company was amazing. Jarred went above and beyond to find my drainage problems. He and his crew had their work cut out for them with dealing with replacing decades old plumbing and unclogging and cleaning out my sewer line. Required lots of digging and crawling under the house and they didn't hesitate. Took a job that most would have drug out for days and got it done in a day and half. The crew worked nonstop to get the job done. No unnecessary items to jack up the price which shows they take honor and pride in their work. Jarred kept me informed every step of the way. When they left they left everything in great shape. This company is worth the money and I will most definitely use them in the future. Very polite, respectful and hard working. Susan Richards"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
