"And today, 12/2/21 I had the pleasure of one of the most magnanimous, generous, and kind individuals I have ever met, fix a plumbing issue (bathroom sink would not drain)...his name is ANTHONY GARCIA. He spent a significant amount of time to assure the job was done properly and helped me in a way I cannot even begin to express. A soul with a big HEART and highly skilled, courteous, respectful, and very professional. I think that Strongbuilt must vet all their employees, to make sure that they are not only the best in the business but also the most resplendent as well. John, the owner...is beyond illustrious himself...Folks...this is the company you want for all your home needs. JoAnne Ellis"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Utilizing Angie's list to find Coles Excavating was extremely helpful to find a reliable and knowledgeable Contractor. I obtained 3 bids as recommended. Robert Cole answered all my questions and immediately made an appointment to look at our septic tank that needed to be replaced. He recommended a septic tank that was available at Home Depot and we were able to purchase using my military discount saving additional cost. Robert gave us a fair and competative price. He completed the installation and did a good job restoring the desert landscape. From beginning to end Robert communicated with us to ensure we knew each stage of the project. We can highly recommend Robert and his sons for excavation and septic tank installation."

"Dan C. arrived on time and, despite an immovable shelf over the tank, diagnosed the problem. Although he barely had room to reach into the tank, he was able to replace the original gasket, which had all but disintegrated. Problem solved. Dan explained everything he was doing, and despite having to struggle to install the gasket, was patient and affable throughout. Would definitely hire again."

"They have been coming out to my house for 20 years. They are a good company. They are prompt, professional, and clean up after themselves. Their price is okay, but worth it. They are knowledgeable. It took them about five hours. It was complicated because the lid fell apart and they had to bring it up from the septic tank, which was ugly. They cleaned up completely."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

The average lifespan of a deep well pump is between 15 and 25 years, after which you’ll have to replace it. Several factors can affect the lifespan of a well pump, such as the quality of the unit. Proper maintenance and repair can also help extend your well pump’s lifespan as well as keep adequate water flow and pressure throughout your home.

Schedule annual inspections, test water pressure, and protect the pump from freezing temperatures.

Depending on local conditions, a deep well may be a better choice than a shallow well. Deeper well depth accesses groundwater that has been naturally filtered through many layers of soil and rock. This reduces surface contaminants and may offer cleaner water, but deep wells cost more money to build and maintain. The water may be harder and have higher radioactivity, too. 

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.
