F.A.Q.
We’ve gathered the most common inquiries from homeowners just like you. From digging depths to permits and property care, get the answers you need before we even start.
How deep do you dig for residential trenching?
We typically dig between 18 to 36 inches deep, depending on the local code, the type of pipe, and the purpose of the trench (water, sewer, drainage, etc.).
Will my yard be damaged during the process?
We take every precaution to minimize damage. We hand-dig when needed, use protective barriers, and always clean up the area after completing the work.
How long does a trenching job usually take?
Most residential trenching jobs are completed within 1 to 2 days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer depending on soil conditions and depth.
Do I need a permit for this work?
In most cities, yes. But don’t worry—we take care of all the necessary permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
Can you trench under driveways or sidewalks?
Absolutely. We use specialized tools and techniques such as tunneling to avoid breaking up concrete or damaging hard surfaces.
