"First class all the way! Professional, highly competent and fair. Will recommend John to anyone I know. I had a well leak and a prior firm came out and gave me an outrageous quote for a solution that would not have addressed the problem. I reached out to Conex to do excavation to better assess the problem and not only did he get out quickly to do the excavation he was also able to diagnose and fix the issue at a lower cost."

"The owner showed up on time for the estimate. As he looked over the property he made recommendations as to what he thought needed work and described the extent of the restorations he would perform. He seemed very knowledgeable and answered questions. He then went back to his truck and returned in a short while with an estimate. I thought the estimate was reasonable considering that he estimated 3 days of work with 2 men. He was available immediately (perhaps this was not a good sign). The work was performed while I was at my job - not a good idea. The first day: I came home to find that front steps had been prepped for re-pointing and half of the walkway was excavated. The workers did not cover the area so we had to go out in a rain storm and tarp the area so it would not erode. No work the next day due to weather. On the 2nd and final day of work, I returned home and it appeared that the work was done. As I looked over the job, I was not at all satisfied with the quality of the work on the back walkway. They had decided to only replace 5 feet instead of 10 (which alone was not a problem but I paid for 10 feet; I assumed there would be a reasonable price adjustment - wrong again...). I immediately called the owner to find out if he had even seen the job - he had not! I asked him to come over to see the work. The walk does not really look right. They did not re-set the stones as they were and, in fact, actually took a stone from a side patio which left a big hole in the side patio. We found one of the original stones from the walkway - which should have been re-used - thrown over in the wooded area of the backyard. The width of the walk does not match the rest and the layout of the stones is very amateurish. Mr. DiFatta tried to tell me that the job was great and that his "best" crew had done the work. I asked for a price reduction due to the fact that not all the work was done that he said he would do and because the work was not well done. After much discussion he did agree to a very small price reduction. I do appreciate the information he provided regarding masonry preservation but I would not use this company again."

"As a new homeowner, I have had so many contractors try to get the best of me when they see I still have a lot to learn.  I met with 4 or 5 other plumbers before John Harris, and it felt like a fresh breeze had come through. 
Super friendly when I first called in the morning, he offered to meet with at my house to take a look around that very same day in the evening.  He even did some research of his own volition, calling the city to find out where the city sewer line measurements were in my back alley since I told him I had a main sewer line issue.  He came prepared and happy to explain exactly what he would do to replace the sewer line, which was something I really appreciated. 
Anytime I contacted John, he responded literally within a couple of minutes.  He came by in person to sign a contract for the job, which he wrote up in detail to the terms we had discussed.  On top of all that, he moved up the date of the job sooner when I told him the sewage back-up had gotten worse unexpectedly.  On the day of the job John and his company showed up on time and completely prepared for work.  They somehow broke up my concrete sidewalk, excavated the old cast iron sewer pipe and laid new PVC pipe across my entire backyard in just 6 hours (I thought it would take all day)!  They cleaned up after the new pipe was buried, and they were as careful as possible while moving around large pieces of concrete.  They made sure to show me how the water was flowing through, and I felt so relieved and confident the sewage would now be leaving my house without any issues.
BOTTOMLINE: John Harris is a rare find in a sea of tradesmen who either don't know or care about what they are doing.  He takes pride in doing good work.  He is intelligent and caring, and won't rip you off.  Calling him for any plumbing job will be something you wish you had done sooner!

"From start to finish, Mr Heil and his team provided cost-effective, timely and exceptional service. Every aspect of the our project scope of work was attended to, with care and diligence, including contracting, permitting, excavation, interior plumbing, and landscaping. Clean up of the worksite was done very day w/in the house and in the front yard. Our family was very appreciative of the quick timeline as we were in process of transitioning between homes. I would highly recommend Heil plumbing, for small and large plumbing projects.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
