At Land Level Excavating, we get asked a lot of the same questions — so we’ve laid them out here. Whether you’re planning a project or fixing a serious water issue, here are the answers you need — fast, clear, and straight from the source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the best way to fix a drainage issue in my yard?
A: Grading and a custom drain system. We install French drains, swales, catch basins, and yard re-sloping to stop water pooling fast and permanently.
Q: How do I know if I need waterproofing?
A: Signs include basement leaks, musty smells, wall cracks, or mold. We install weeping tile, membrane, and sump tie-ins to keep basements dry for good.
Q: What’s the difference between storm drains and sanitary lines?
A: Storm drains carry rainwater. Sanitary lines carry wastewater. We install, repair, and replace both to prevent backups and water damage.
Q: Do you handle grading for sheds or garages?
A: Yes — we use laser grading for perfect pad prep. Clean slope, proper base, and no guesswork.
Q: How much does it cost to replace a sewer line?
A: In Essex County, it usually runs between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on depth, access, and length. We’ll give you a firm quote upfront.
Q: Can you install a sump pump and drainage system?
A: Yes. We tie in interior or exterior weeping systems to sump pumps, redirect water, and make sure your basement stays dry.
What kind of demolition do you offer?
A: We safely demo houses, barns, garages, greenhouses, silos, and more. Full cleanup and disposal included.
Q: Do you install fire pits or concrete pads?
A: We sure do. Custom fire pits, natural or block-style, and solid concrete pads for sheds, garages, patios, and hot tubs.

A: Most jobs take 1 to 3 days. We’re efficient, clean, and don’t leave a mess behind.
