"Originally we had thought there would be no excavation, just a concrete floor. When we probed the possibility of an excavation that would involve removing about 1800 cubic feet of dirt, Greg Mitchell said that they had not done a job this large and he had to think it through. He came to our house and we discussed multiple ways of removing the dirt, considering time, cost-effectiveness, and keeping the house clean. Greg was quite easy to talk to. One of the options discussed was a conveyor belt through a window-well, another was dump trucks in the back yard, but ultimately the solution that made the most sense was to dig down outside the front of the house, cut a temporary hole in the foundation, shovel the dirt onto a conveyor belt that would extend from the crawl space and connect with a second conveyor belt that took the dirt into a dumpster. Once the job started, it was realized that this was not fast enough and multiple conveyor belts inside the crawl space were utilized so that dirt would only have to be handled once. Some of the dirt was too hard to excavate using hand shovels, so power chisels were used. Removing the dirt was over the half the cost of the entire operation. The workers seemed to take pride in their work. Greg was prepared to do a spray fire-proofing but we decided to do wallboard. We also added the steel trowel finish. We feel that he handled this and other slight changes nicely as the job progressed, and the final cost to us was very fair."

FAQs for excavation projects in Wheeler, IN

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.
