  • How long does a typical driveway paving project take?

    Depending on the size and complexity, most residential projects are completed in one to two days. This includes preparation, installation, and allowing the asphalt time to settle properly.

  • How soon can I park on my new driveway after paving?

    We would recommend a minimum of four days after paving installation before parking or driving on your new surface. Doing this ensures the asphalt has had time to solidify and settle for optimal integrity and preventing potential damage.

  • What is the expected lifespan of a new asphalt driveway?

    A well-maintained asphalt driveway can last 15-20 years with our premium products and installation services.

  • Can paving be done during winter months?

    Winter is not an ideal time for paving, but it can be done in certain emergency circumstances.

  • What is the recommended thickness for an asphalt driveway?

    We would recommend an average of 3-3 1/2 inches of product thickness. This could vary depending on specific job requirements and local regulations.

  • What are common signs of a sewer line problem?

    Some of the common signs would be:

    • Multiple slow drains
    • Toilets and drains gurgling
    • Foul odors in drains or yard
    • Sunken or wet spots in the lawn
    • Sewage backups
    • Patches of grass that are unexpectedly lush
  • Do you offer emergency sewer line repair services?

    We are happy to offer 24/7 emergency services for sewer line issues so we can prevent property damage and health issues.

  • Can tree roots really damage sewer lines?

    Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage. Roots infiltrate cracks or joints in pipes, and over time cause large issues.

  • Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repairs?

    Typically, most standard policies do not cover sewer repairs. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if you have additional coverage that would.

  • How can I prevent future sewer line problems?

    Here are some great tips to prevent future issues:


    • Regular inspections from a professional
    • Avoid using non-biodegradable items in toilets and drains
    • Be cautious when planting trees near sewer lines
    • Address minor proplems immediately
    • Use an enzyme-based drain cleaner occasionally
