The fact is earth retention systems require a lot of knowledge – this is why hiring the right contractor in Dallas TX is so important.
Children may be fine digging a hole in the backyard for fun. They usually get tired and give up before they do any substantial damage. Of course, just by bad luck they may hit the automatic sprinkler system and get excited as a small amount of water drains from all the pipework into their hole so they can make mud pies.
Of course, from their point of view, there is no reason to tell anyone. And surprise…the next time the sprinkler system comes on you could lose hundreds of gallons of water, turn your lawn into a swampy mess, and maybe even cause significant damage to your neighbors’ or your property…
Lack of planning, or ignorance of existing conditions, can cause no end of troubles for a contractor who doesn’t know what they’re doing. There is a reason, for example, why (according to OSHA) no trench may be deeper than 5 feet without reinforcement. It may look safe, feel safe—and yet be completely dangerous—in ways the eye cannot discern. The rule is there to protect workers from collapse.
This is the very same reason that good contractors obtain permits, read surveys, and locate all of the buried infrastructures before they start digging, boring, drilling, or blasting. Accidents are costly, especially if injuries occur, but even if it is “only” property damage, the reparations cost more than materials and money. They cost time, and that can throw schedules into chaos doubling, tripling, or quadrupling expenses! This is no business for amateurs; you deserve professionals!
Worse yet, sub-contractors often have only a limited window for your job. If you’re not ready to go, they will still bill for their time while standing idle. They may even run out of time for your project, and be obliged to move on to fulfill another contract. That means leaving you without a skill, which then needs to be replaced, costing you more time and money.
