What happens if we hit rock during the excavation?
All site�s could present a condition known as �unforeseen site conditions� what this means is that unless you are sure that there is nothing in the ground below grade. There is a possibility that you would encounter things such as solid rock, sewer lines, gas lines, telephone lines and so on. By calling 1-800-DIG-RITE before you start your process they will come to your site and locate various underground utilities for you, this is a free service. However they cannot determine if there is rock in the ground. You should discuss these unforeseen site conditions with your contractor and discuss the cost associated with them. Your contractor should be able to furnish you with hourly rates.
