We are extremely pleased to have hired Alley Excavating, and feel luck to have found them. When installing a septic system, it's important to hire an experienced team, and a company with integrity, since most of the components are hidden underground. Do yourself a favor and get a long term, problem-free quality system from Alley Excavating. We were extremely pleased that they fixed many otherwise unknown problems with our system as they worked thru all of the problems. During the system replacement, we found 2 tanks that were not located where the design showed they were; a non-compliant (failed) drain-field, and many other problems. Alley was NOT the cheapest bid; as a matter of fact, they were slightly higher than all other bids. But you definitely get what you paid for, and there were no "surprises" during the work increasing the cost. They were upfront when describing the potential problems that we were likely to find, especially since we found that the design paperwork submitted with the old system in 1973 did NOT MATCH the installed design! They made many changes and improvements to the system design, which definitely would NOT have been done by the other contractors. For example: >>They installed a top quality tank with a "alarmed" filter- this tank was pressure tested before installation, not offered by other contractors. Both alarms were installed in the cabin's basement, not on the tanks, as offered by other contractors. >>They installed insulated pipe at twice the required diameter >>They moved the 2250 gallon tank to a better location allowing a gravity system; much more reliable in the long run >>They repaired and sealed the access manhole on the existing tank, and installed an upgraded pump on the lift tank-- much better than required, but also much more reliable (pay 10% more, get 50% better reliability) >>The components they installed in the drain field were top notch; I attended the county's onsite inspection of this installation, and noted a lot of compliments from the county health department chief regarding the quality of their work >>They completely re-landscaped all of the property damaged during the excavation, and removed a number of old stumps, greatly improving the look of the property (we did pay to have some new topsoil brought in) >>They hired a top quality electrician who fixed a number of code violations and design faults not identified by other contractors >>They removed a hidden underground tank that should have crushed in 1973 (!) to ensure the safety of my grand-children I am not associated in any way with Alley Excavating but will recommend their work to anyone at anytime.
Description of Work: Alley Excavating was hired to replace the septic system at our recently purchased lakeside cabin near Annandale. They system had been condemned prior to our purchase and the elderly sellers had no accurate information regarding the design of the 40+ year old system, and pretty much everything they thought they knew was wrong.
