Fully Insured Matthew O’Donohoe is a hard working family man. In 2008, Matt started his career in the Oil and Gas industry, he worked his way up from a Green Hat Hand to Operations Manager. After spending 8 years operating and managing the North East Region, Matt’s employer closed their doors. Our family, like many others have been directly impacted by 2020. Matt always dreamed of successfully owning and operating his own business. He’d say “if I could only work this hard for myself.” It’s always been hard to walk away from a steady pay check, retirement plan and health benefits with a family to look out for... but with all that gone, what’s a better time then now to make those dreams come true! Matt is a dedicated family man who works hard for his clients!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
