"job was done in a timely manner, however was not done in a professional workman like manner, Which the contract states it would be done. When the estimator came he explained what would be done to eliminate water issue. When we asked how does water get removed outside and how they would undermine stairs and walls he simple stated the installers will go over that with you when they come. The installers said they would be channeling under the step and walls, which are only 2 1/2 inch walls. The last step was also a simple channel as well. More time consuming perhaps, when you charge $3000.00 more than another contractor, homeowners are believing they are getting a professional job! They cut her stair runner instead of peeling it back so it could be glued back down. she needs replace whole runner now and company could care less including there estimator! sheetrock replacement also more expensive because took a hammer to the walls instead of saw zall,nice straight lines! also have photos."

Family owned and operated since 1975. John DiMeglio founded the business on the premise that service and integrity is a vital component, especially when operating in an industry such as waste. He began modestly with only a few pieces of equipment. Immediately, his business grew on the thrust of hard work. John may no longer be with us, but he handed his work ethic and successful business model to his sons; Paul and Mark.

"Grossly unprofessional and unethical. Do not even think about using this company for septic service. Caught them red handed on an overcharge and instead of admitting their "mistake" they doubled down and claimed it was all our fault. Owner was extremely rude and obnoxious and told me to contact his attorney. So when I asked for his attorney's number, he just continued to yell and then hung up the phone."

Choose our company for honest, reliable, quality service – and we'll guarantee you've made the best choice. Best Choice Plumbing & Heating was honored by Philadelphia Magazine in 2009 as the Best Plumber in Philadelphia. 20+ employees. Open 7 days a week 24 hours a day - we have evening appointments. Service all parts of Philadelphia and South Jersey. Rated #1 in the city by Philly Mag (8/09) Registered with the Better Business Bureau.

"Worst Choice Plumbing doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Avoid at ALL costs. Our adjacent neighbors hired them to fix a leaky pipe, which required them to dig up our sidewalk. Well they never compacted the dirt or set up any water prevention measures while the dirt needed to settle and the sidewalk collapsed on itself as a result, causing CATASTROPHIC flooding in our basement AND their client’s basement. The FIRE DEPARTMENT had to come out and shore up the hole to prevent any further collapse. We called L&I and when Worst Choice caught wind, they immediately sent a crew to actually add the preventative measures they should have added to begin with. Too little too late. The concrete company they contracted with to finally pave over the trench even admitted to us their work was not industry standard. They refuse to admit liability despite being in violation of multiple standards. Do not hire unless you want to be out a minimum of $30k! 0/5 stars!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
