Where does the dirt go?

Upon request, we conduct proper disposal of all unwanted debris, soil, and other excavated materials. We take contaminated dirt to special facilities for incineration and often use uncontaminated topsoil to cover landfills and other sites.

How do you know how to avoid utilities underground?

We do thorough research prior to excavating near utilities such as wiring and pipes. In most cases, the underground utilities are the responsibility of the utility companies themselves. We will contact the companies so they can mark the location of the lines for ourselves and the property owner.
