"Best Co. is "The Best". My husband and I relocated to ME after renting our house for ten years. Oh my, work, work and more work. I was overwhelmed. I started with my first project, Trees. In came, Warren Howard ,owner of Best & Co. Mr. Howard responded instantaneously to our request for an estimate. He was very professional and knowledgeable. After consulting with several services (3), we selected Best & Co. for knowledge, reasonable costs and a great understanding of our goals. The employees are hard workers and take pride in their workmanship. No corners cut! We discovered thru our tree project, that Best & Co. provided many other services. We hired Mr. Howard & Co. to do: 1) excavation work in our back yard (remove pool, grading, rebuild shape of yard), 2) regrade our driveway, 3) electrical work in house, 4) plumbing, 5) remove and rebuild front porch of house, 6) rebuild stairs in house, 7) repair outside house structure ; and, 8) paint the house. Mr. Howard and his employees are very disciplined ,take pride in their job and accommodating working with their clients. We have been very pleased with their work and results. 5 ??? Mr. Howard and his employees have made our transition to Maine much easier. Thank you, Robyn and Chris"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've hired Pete Boutillier's Junk Removal Company for multiple projects, and every experience has been excellent. Pete is professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He shows up when he says he will, works hard, and always gets the job done efficiently. What really sets Pete apart is his ability to tackle challenging jobs. No job seems too big or complicated, and he's an excellent problem solver who doesn't need constant direction. He's a true self-starter who takes initiative and finds solutions when unexpected issues arise. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking, affordable, and easy to work with, we highly recommend Pete and his team. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
