I recently had a sewer scope done on my new home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! We had some complicated pipes, but the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was inspected thoroughly. They explained everything clearly, provided helpful suggestions, and gave me the peace of mind I needed during the home-buying process. On top of that, they were super friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone purchasing a home!

I was told that I had a complicated sewer repair/replacement at my home. After contacting several contractors with either no call backs or outrageous prices I contacted Sewer Kings. the gentleman Mark came out to my home the same day and explained the issue he found and the best way to correct the problem/old root bound system. He gave me a very good quote much lower than I got from others. He and his crew showed up the next day, early I might add which is unheard if these days and replaced the whole system connected, removing any issues, very respectful of my landscaping, neat, and very professional. I didn’t have to do any cleaning after they left. Mark and his crew did an outstanding job and we couldn’t be happier with the work they did. Glad to write a positive review for Sewer Kings

FAQs

Excavation FAQs

Excavation begins with site inspection, surveying, and obtaining permits. After clearing vegetation and debris, benchmarks and reference points are set. Excavation then proceeds using heavy machinery to remove soil to approved depths while managing loose soil and ensuring site stability with protective measures like dewatering wells and drainage systems.
Before entering an excavation, it is essential to inspect the site for hazards such as unstable soil, nearby utilities, and proper shoring or bracing. Workers should ensure the excavation is properly sloped or supported to prevent collapses and adhere to safety protocols including wearing personal protective equipment and having a safety plan in place.
The best excavation method depends on the project size, soil type, and purpose, commonly including trenching, digging, dredging, or site development. Mechanical excavation with heavy equipment is favored for large-scale projects due to efficiency, while hand excavation suits smaller, more precise jobs.
Excavation duration varies with project size and complexity but generally ranges from days to weeks. Large commercial sites with extensive soil removal or difficult conditions take longer, while smaller residential projects may complete excavation within a few days.
Hazards include soil collapses, falling loads, underground utility strikes, water accumulation, and hazardous atmospheres. These risks can lead to worker injury or death if safety measures like shoring, monitoring, and proper training are not followed.
Common excavation equipment includes excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, skid steers, trenchers, and hand tools like shovels and picks. The choice depends on soil type, project scale, and excavation depth.
The first step is site inspection and survey to assess soil composition, locate underground utilities, and establish reference lines. Obtaining necessary permits and clearing the site of vegetation and debris follows before excavation begins.
Minimum depth varies by context, but foundations typically require excavations at least 40 cm for main walls and 20 cm for partition walls, with deeper trenches needed for basements or infrastructure. Safety regulations may also specify minimum depths for safe shoring.
Incorrect excavation can cause soil instability leading to collapses, structural failures, damage to underground utilities, environmental harm, and delays or cost overruns. Poor planning or safety oversight may result in injuries or legal liabilities.
