Frequently Asked Questions
What is directional boring used for?
Directional boring installs utility lines underground without disturbing your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It's perfect for sewer lines, water pipes, and electrical conduits.How long does sewer line installation take?
Most residential sewer line installations take 1-2 days depending on distance and soil conditions. We'll assess your property and provide a timeline estimate beforehand.What drainage problems can you fix?
We install French drains, trench drains, catch basins, and downspout systems to solve standing water, basement flooding, and yard drainage issues effectively.Do you prepare sites for concrete?
Yes, we handle complete site preparation including excavation, grading, and compaction for driveways, concrete pads, and foundation work to ensure proper drainage.How deep can you drill directionally?
Our directional drilling equipment can reach depths and distances suitable for most residential and commercial utility installations while avoiding existing underground infrastructure.Why choose excavation over trenching?
Directional drilling preserves existing landscaping, driveways, and structures while trenching requires surface disruption. Both methods work depending on your project's specific needs.What affects excavation project costs?
Project costs depend on soil conditions, depth requirements, distance, existing utilities, and site accessibility. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation.Can you work around existing utilities?
Absolutely. We locate existing utilities before starting any excavation work and use directional boring techniques to safely navigate around pipes, cables, and other infrastructure.When should I install drainage systems?
Install drainage systems when you notice standing water, basement moisture, or erosion problems. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions for most drainage installation projects.Do you service areas outside Monticello?
