"Jerry and Brian have done my snow removal for several years now. They are always on top of everything. They arrive early, clear all snow and disturb no grass or plantings. Just perfectly clean parking and driving areas. Great people to work with!"

"This was a BIG interior demo job. Joe came out to assess the work that needed to be done, and I was immediately impressed with his professionalism and intelligence. Even though the bid came in higher than we thought it would be, I was so certain that he would do a careful job of removing what needed to go while protecting what was to stay, that I decided it was worth it to take his bid. I am VERY thankful that I did.
The guys went above and beyond to protect the furniture and bookshelves that were staying, and when they were finished taking out the very, very large bathroom (all details listed above) the place was clean as a whistle--right down to the studs. The amount of dust in the rest of the house was minimal as they put up a double layer of plastic (with a zipper pass-through) to keep the dust contained in the room that was being renovated. The professionalism and care that was demonstrated put this company among one of the best I have hired for work in my house. Since this is my fourth major renovation project, I have some experience with this. :-)
It was especially nice that they had trucks to immediately haul out the debris and we didn't have to live with a large dumpster in front of our house for the three days that the demo took (or longer, depending on when the dumpster people would have made time to pick up the dumpster!) Super convenient, neat and clean.
Junk Relief is a gem. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, and will absolutely call Joe if I decide to embark on another reno in my home.

"Cleaned out the main sewer even though it didn't need cleaning. What was supposed be cleaned was the catch basin. Crew came over could not open the lid, told me that it would be up to me to open it. Then they would com back. You would think that they would how all the tools and no how to open any and all catch basin. They never called me back or followed up with me. I will never ever use them again. Very disappointed."

FAQs for excavation projects in Mooseheart, IL

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.
