"The project was far more involved than just septic repair. Our house was built in the fifties and had serious drainage and grey water problems as well. Darin was able to make the repairs, grade the yard and install new drainage lines for the gutters as well as replace the old pipes and clean out the septic system. It was a huge project that required a wide range of skills including digging new lines, tree removal, plus excavation and grading. We were very pleased with the work and the results. It was also great watching the dynamics with Tripp and Rider his two sons who were both hard working, followed directions well and always hustled. We have since hired DTR for other projects including more grey water lines and grading of our cabin , building a boat ramp at the creek at our campsite and then building an entire addition including a ll aspects of building a retaining wall and construction of our commercial kitchen including everything from electrical and plumbing to interior walls using FRP panels on the walls and ceiling which is a difficult project to do correctly as it has no nails or screws and is done with adhesive. All projects have been extraordinarily well done and we have been very happy with the work and the follow up afterwards. Each of these projects deserves its own review. I think the best review is when you hire them again. Highly recommended"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.
