"RK Boswell and Septic and Excavating is an awesome company. The only reason we did not hire them is because we did not have a septic pump we have an electric pump. We are new to living in a rural area and was not sure what we had. They came out, look over our system and told us exactly what we could do at no cost. Their customer service is awesome. If someone does this for us without securing a contract, I think you can trust them with the septic projects that you have."
"After having some pretty bad rains in the Baltimore area and my tenants informing me that the basement was leaking i searched out a few different companies and found MJ Home Services they have incredible reviews everywhere. Melissa was great and so were the guys that did the work. They sent me pictures over throughout the entire process and everything was done through email which made it so much easier for me. So far so good there's no leaking and my tenants are extremely happy . I would definitely hire MJ Home Services again."

"If you need to replace your underground oil tank, then you're freaking out about the expense and possible catastrophic complications. So do yourself a favor and call Willard. This wonderful family company makes everything easy.
Our very positive experience started with the initial visit by Josh. Then company owner Billy Willard answered all our many questions. Considering the options, we decided to purchase a Roth tank. Not just more compact than other brands, it also has a 30-year warranty. Willard is the only company in Virginia certified to install Roths.
Our work was scheduled quickly. Willard called Miss Utility and also our county -- we didn't have to do a thing. The Roth tank fit neatly into our garage and Billy and his crew took great care with every detail of its complicated installation. The removal of our underground tank went really well too, even though the tank turned out to be quite deep. Frank and Josh worked very carefully to expose but not damage the old tank, and to transfer oil into the new tank. Then the old tank was prepared so the residual oil could be pumped for recycling. We hadn't even realized this step would take place, because Willard had made all the arrangements. Next the tank was lifted and soil samples were taken. Then, using a truckload of fill Willard supplied as well as the excavated soil, the enormous hole was filled, carefully graded and sown with grass seed.
You can imagine how many heavy vehicles were in motion to accomplish all this, yet there was not the slightest damage to our fence, landscaping, driveway or house.
Meanwhile, Tim was connecting the new Roth tank to our furnace, working with ingenuity around the maze of ducting. pipes and wires in our basement. He wasn't satisfied until he was sure the connection was perfect.
We thought the entire crew was awesome, and that opinion was validated when the county fire inspector approved everything they'd done. The Willards and Josh Delaney were not just expert, they were really friendly and considerate. It was a pleasure to have them around, They turned what had been a huge nightmare into a perfectly executed solution. "
"Hired them in April 2019 to level and reseal patio pavers with polymeric sand. Job looked okay at first, but shortly several voids starting showing in the sand and some pavers started to settle, which is not unusual or unexpected. Sent them pictures at their request and they said they would return and repair the problem areas. I marked the voids and uneven areas with tape to make it easy for them to locate the voids. I also asked that they call to schedule the repair so that I could be there. After over 2 months of inquiries and waiting, someone showed up when we weren't home and did the repairs. Some additional voids have since appeared. If they had come when I was home as requested, I would have simply asked for them to leave a little poly sand so I could fix an additional settling without having to bother them."
"They responded quickly and fixed the pipe. The work was fine but a little expensive. My only reservation was price, but it has been a while, so I don't feel I can answer other questions about the company with a lot of confidence."
"They are super easy to deal with and very responsive when setting up the projects. They do great work at great rates! Will definitely continue to use them and will recommend them to others! "
"Mr. Lee was easy to work with. He knew exactly what was needed to get the job done after looking at what he was working with. I needed to have a new shower drain and 2 inch PVC pipe installed after I removed the previous 15 year old leaking drain. I knew the next steps needed to be done by a professional. Glad to have found him and his expertise. I would definitely recommend this service."
"Kelly was very responsive and fixed the problem right away. I have a rental property, and Kelly was able to perform the work without me being there. Kelly sent me photos of what they found in the drain, and they emailed me the work order & invoice. I will use them again in the future if I have a plumbing need!"
"I found Waterproofing Inc. on Angie's List. The estimate was quick and easy. The crew came over a week later. They arrived at 8:15am and finished the job at 5:00pm. They worked hard and fast. This was dirty hot work and the never slowed down, amazing!"

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.
We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.
Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
