No, excavating contractors do not have to be licensed by the state. However, state licensure usually means more experience and that they are insured.

How do you use culvert?

A culvert is typically used to allow water to flow under a road, railway, or embankment, preventing flooding and erosion by maintaining proper drainage. To use a culvert, you first need to assess the area for water flow and select an appropriate size and type, such as a pipe or box culvert. Installation involves excavating a trench, placing the culvert, ensuring proper alignment and slope for drainage, and then backfilling the surrounding soil. Regular maintenance checks are also important to ensure the culvert remains clear of debris and functions effectively.

Where do you get license for home repairs?

Generally, you need to get it from your local building department--that may be a city or county one. I live in Ohio, and that is the way that we handle licensing for contractors. Some counties require licensing for specific kinds of contractors, like electrical contractors, HVAC contractors, general contractors, etc. This is how it works for Ohio, and it varies county to county, and certainly state to state. If you are in Ohio, not being licensed when you perform work could be one of many violations you have committed of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. You need to contact a lawyer in your area about advice on the Consumer Sales Practices Act.
