Here at AJ Hetrick Enterprises, we do a wide variety of jobs for many different customers. We've been in business since 1998 and are an owner-operated business. Some of the things we specialize in (but not limited to) are construction (including pole barns), excavation, demolition, concrete, asphalt, driveways(can be what you decide, whether it be stone, concrete or asphalt), hauling off excess materials(dirt, stone, asphalt, concrete, A.K.A anything left laying around or is a displeasure to the eye), trucking (we have hauled loads for some well-known companies before, such as Monsanto during harvest or the local dairies with wet and dry feed. We also haul water from a local spring to Ice River Springs where it is bottled and shipped to stores nationwide). Have you ever had to chose which company you wanted to do your driveway, but didn't understand what they were saying due to use of industry-specific terms? When you choose us, we simplify it so you can understand what we're talking about. Let's say that this guy (Man A) says he can do your driveway for cheaper than we(Man B) can. A majority of the time, people like Man A get cheaper materials which decrease the life expectancy of the driveway. We give you the choice whether to choose a less durable product or a very durable and trusted product. If you're planning on moving soon (sometime within the next year) and need to make things look nice, my personal advice is go for the more expensive option. It will have a longer life and will hold up to the elements better, plus, if you mention that the driveway was recently redone, it can drive the price of the house upward, therefore gaining more profit for you! Back to the subject- If you ever find yourself in need of any services provided, please contact us! If you're interested in having a pole barn built but would like more information, please visit our website, http://ajhetrickenterprises.simplesite.com/ . If you have any questions, give us a call! - Abby Hetrick :)

At NuFlow Indy, our specialty is sewer line repair utilizing trenchless methods. We help our customers save time and money, typically over 20-50% vs dig solutions (which we also do). We proudly offer military and first responder discounts as well! Trenchless sewer pipe repairs allow us to restore drain lines and sewer pipes without having to tear up your residence or commercial building. Because of this, the process offers many benefits, including: *Repairs usually take only a couple of hours. *Less-intrusive techniques mean saving landscaping, flooring, and walls in homes & businesses. *Efficient services save our customers time and money. Trenchless repairs meet industry standards and local utility standards, which are permanent. Nu Flow Indy also has specialized equipment for: *High Definition Self Leveling Camera Inspections. *Cleaning 100% of the pipe, not just poking a hole so water flows for a few more weeks. * Fixing your problem with either Dig or No Dig solutions. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a free quote!

"I was surprised to find that this company doesn't do what they say. They make a big deal about fixing pool and spa lines, but according to our messenger conversation, they don't. Why advertise you do something if you don't. Since they only have the Indy location, saying that Indy doesn't is the same as they don't. For a family-owned and operated business, they sure fall short of integrity. So maybe they should say only sewer lines and remove the false advertising on their website. There are many options for this work and think twice before hiring these guys because if they lie on their services online, I am sure they are going to lie in person. This company failed to live up to their advertised services."

Excavation services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
