"ALERT: I BELIEVE THIS COMPANY IS AFTER INSURANCE DOLLARS AND WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT CORRECTING THE REAL ISSUE. Drain King Plumbing in Pompano Beach came to my house to provide me with an estimate because the land next to the side of my home felt like a sinkhole was forming. Steven McKeehan, owner of Drain King Plumbing, diagnosed me with a leak. He stated that it probably would be an insurable claim. I was clear with him that not everything is an insurable claim and try to prevent an insurance claim. After my comment he ran a “test” on my indoor plumbing and asked my husband and I to leave the room, my kitchen and laundry room ended up flooded and I was forced to call in a restoration company. He called in his recommendation, Restoration 1, because it was 6PM in the evening and he told me it had to be taken care of now (I will do a review for them because their business practices are horrible too). Steven sent me a quote for $50,000 and wanted the 25% deposit of $12,500. His quote was written expressly for an insurance claim. The bill was 97% access and egress which insurance companies are obligated to pay. We didn’t sign his quote because we got a second inspection and estimate. It turns out that Steven misdiagnosed the issue for my house because I don't have an indoor leak (we had one minor leak on the outside plumbing), but a terrible backfill issue underneath our home which isn’t an insurable claim. In addition, if I had Steve do his work and ignored the real issue, my house may have gone underground. After the fact, Steven did try to claim that his manager did the quote and it should have been $23,500. I don’t believe him because he is the one who called and asked for the deposit. If he really believed it shouldn’t have been $50,000, then why did he ask for a 25% deposit at the cost of $12,500. A business man should know that $12,500 is 25% of $50,000 not $23,500. By the way, the reason we contacted this company was because a good friend of our family works for the company and is Steven’s girlfriend."

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.

If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:

  • Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.

  • Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.

A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.

Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
