"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."

"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!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
