"Excellent service! A general contractor we had working for us tried to fix our wobbly toilet but couldn't, and suspected we would need to have a new sewer line flange installed at an estimated cost of $1,200 or more. He suggested we call a plumber to arrange that. We called Pacific Crest fully expecting to pay that much, and Nick came out to look at it. He said if we really wanted to, he would do the expensive flange replacement, but suggested he could try a combination of a new wax ring and shims. His solution worked, and only cost $375, rather than the much larger amount we were expecting. We also had Nick look at our kitchen sink that was draining slowly and asked him if he could snake it out. He said he could do that, but suggested we first just try some Drano and let it sit overnight. That did the trick. So once again, Nick saved us some money. I’m sure there are a lot of other plumbers out that that would have just automatically done the expensive jobs we didn’t necessarily need, but Nick made sure to give us some options and explain the pros and cons of each. We highly recommend Pacific Crest!"

"Quality Calvary Construction did a fantastic job I was very pleased with every aspect of their work. When they came across something that wasn't included in the bid they came to me and explained exactly what needed to be done and what it would cost me. I really appreciated their integrity.

FAQs for excavation projects in Welches, OR

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.
