"SAVE YOURSELF, so many better more ethical plumbers out there! I had a kitchen pipe clog up at a rental. Called them out, the guy seemed to work hard to get it cleared, to no avail. Wasn't aware they were charging me $382 whether they actually got it cleared or not... first sign I wasn't dealing with an ethical company. they told me they would give me a partial credit for MORE work to try jetting, but that was 50/50 whether it would work or not. What was recommended was replacing 35 feet of 1.5" pipe partially in a crawl space for $1488, as it's less than $100 in materials. Im a contractor so I know that price is way out of line, and confirmed so when two other plumbers in the area, who unfortunately couldn't get to me in my time frame said the job would be $400 to $600. In any event, all about told me they were pricing it for a full day for 2 guys. 16 man hours?? I questioned it as I know and have this job myself many times, I was just out of the area., and was told if it was less, it it took less. I spoke to Alex the owner and he told me he had all these enployees to pay for and nice trucks etc... which I get, but I dont care about...gave them the go ahead and instead of 2 guys all day, it was one guy for 7 hours. after the job was fine I questioned whether they would reduce the price since it took less men and hours, the answer was no... they did a quality job. then they billed me, for OVER the amount we even agreed to. Oh btw, I STILL have not been sent an invoice as agreed. Shady! So I texted the tech twice why it was over what we agreed with no response... So if you are down for overpriced work and a company that bills you more than you give them permission for, call.All About Plumbing!"

Looking for expert tree service in Asheville? Look no further than Newcomb Tree Service. Our team of professionals is dedicated to providing top-notch tree care and removal services. Contact us today for all your tree service needs.

"I have used Newcomb Tree Service several times in the past and have been pleased with their work. When I used them in 2017 and 2018 they did great work and gave a fair and reasonable price. I called them in March of 2022 for an estimate to take down several large pine trees and a few other small trees. The gentleman that came to my house was pleasant, but the estimate was ridiculously high. The estimate was twice what I paid them back in 2018 and that was for taking down half the amount of trees. I had another tree service company come out to give a quote and it was for half the price as Newcomb. Needless to say I went with the other company. Newcomb did great work for me years ago and I believe they would have done good work this time around, but their pricing seems to have changed. If you get an estimate from Newcomb, just make sure you are getting a few other comparison estimates."

Land clearing 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.

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

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.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.
