Sometimes having a backhoe is also useful for moving large items like commercial water heaters, large boilers and big pipes outside. We have different attachments for our machine like forks for lifting pallets and ways to hoist materials safely. Also it is useful for digging trenches for our under ground plumbing lines. 

Sometimes we have to remove concrete to access our plumbing lines Underground and using a backhoe is a safe way to lift concrete. 

Additionally when we open a trench or a piece of concrete we are capable of repairing and backfilling the dirt. Also the owner carries a Commercial drivers license and is able to use large dump trucks, trailers and equipment. 

What are the flags in the yard for?

Anytime a contractor or homeowner digs they should call for a mark out of utilities. After calling 811 for a mark out, the utility companies such as gas, electric, water, cable and sewer come out and locate their underground utilities. They paint the ground where the approximate locations of their utilities are underground and put in flags in the ground. The flags serve the purpose of being a mark. Calling before you dig is the law and required before starting any underground work. Finally the best part about calling before you dig is that it is of no cost to you!
