"I called John and left a voicemail and he got back to me immediately. He double checked that I needed a cesspool certification and not an inspection which would have been more invasive and costly, and once confirmed, scheduled them to come out that weekend. The man who performed the certification was right on time and was very quick but professional and thorough. Everything was seamless, and for something requested by the bank so last minute, we were grateful to get it completed so quickly."

"Lied to me about my oil tank leaking and then when confronted about it, it was made to seem like it was no big deal that there was a leak. They did not run through any of the information with me at the end, just sign here and sign here. I left a google review informing they left debris behind, the owner or a representative responded that it was my debris, so I guess that means I am responsible for it, which is fine. However, that would have been nice to know beforehand, and when I asked the gentleman who was here doing the work about the debris he basically shrugs his shoulder and says I dont know. Beyond all that, the workmanship appears to be good so far."

"I was very happy with the work they did abandoning my below ground oil tank and installing a new above ground tank. They were able to save my plants located near the abandoned tank as well!"

"I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a pool excavation done in my backyard! From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. Steven was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. Steve and his team took great care to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and completed the project on time. The excavation itself was impressive—everything was done with precision, and the site was left clean and tidy afterward. It’s amazing to see how much more space I have now, and I’m already making plans for how I’ll transform the area. Whether it’s for a new landscape, outdoor seating, or just more room to enjoy my backyard, I feel like the possibilities are endless. If you’re considering pool excavation or any type of excavation job I highly recommend high idle excavation It’s a game changer for your outdoor space, and I’m so glad I took the leap!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Wantagh, NY

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.
