"They were professional and efficient. They drained and removed the tank, drained and capped fuel lines where they went into walls, and removed exterior pipes and patched the holes. Their price was lower than the other company I called."

"I found Waterproofing Inc. on Angie's List. The estimate was quick and easy. The crew came over a week later. They arrived at 8:15am and finished the job at 5:00pm. They worked hard and fast. This was dirty hot work and the never slowed down, amazing!"

"It was awesome. First of all, he measured the space and I thought his price was really reasonable for the work we wanted done.  Then, he noticed some moisture issues and pointed them out to me. He told me that he wouldn't feel comfortable placing drywall in the basement if we didn't parge it first, and then he recommended a company to do that as well.  We aren't quite ready to completely rip up the basement exterior walls quite yet, but when we are, I will be calling on Suncrest builders again.

I contacted them and set a date for them to come over and review the jobs required.  He arrived on time, prepared to take measurements etc. and then told me what I would need to provide them and what the final costs should be since it was over the hours purchased from Angies.  We set a date and time for them to do the work.

they arrived on time and went right to work. 

ISince I am a DYIer i knew what it would take to do the job and what they needed to do so that it was done correctly.

All of the work they did met or exceeded my expectations.  The plasterwork, which I do not do well, was done extremely well and you could tell that he takes pride in his work.

We were very pleased with the work and would rehire.

FAQs for excavation projects in Boyce, VA

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
