"New septic system installed in 2015 for a elderly woman. Wanted system to be up to code. Over 20,000.00. Pumped tank out, said it was a 1,000 gallon tank. In estimate of work to be done said 1,000 gallon tank. They hired an engineer for a plan that said 1,000 gallon tank. Go to sell it this year and find out it is not up to code-not a 1,000 gallon tank. Call multiple times and went in person to discuss problem. Never able to speak with the owner. Would not admit responsibility or rectify problem. Would not return calls. Sent an email that they would correct the problem for an additional 5,000.00."

We have a 3 man maintenance crew, (2) 3 man construction crews. 90% of our man power have been with the company 8 years or more. We strive to maintain a high level of quality control and will continue to do so! We don't charge for estimating and consultation. We are hands on therefore subcontractors are not needed in most scenarios. We feed from repeated and referred work. Word of mouth is 95% of our business and would like it to remain that way. We are never too busy to take a customers call .

"GTM was amazing to work with. GTM worked on a large project recreating our home's front steps and walkway. George and his entire staff were professional, diligent and a true pleasure to work with. They worked diligently and expeditiously. George was very responsive and communicated well as the project evolved. He always made sure everything was done to perfection. We would highly recommend using GTM for any hardscaping or landscaping projects."

With decades of experience in waterproofing and masonry, the Salvo team, provides excellent work at a fair price. From top to bottom our company understands the value of your home and we work together with targeted solutions for the most difficult problems. Integrity is our core value and the driving force of how we do business.

"update as of 6/1/2019: The waterproofing contractor via phone and a letter to express his apologizes for not following up on my issues from the install. He came out immediately to assess the situation and within a week sent a crew out to make the necessary repairs. I believe they went above and beyond in fixing all areas of the waterproofing system that may have caused the failure and flooding. Despite the very delayed response (almost a year later). Paul Salvo Jr. did stand behind his work and make it right. Given my interaction with him, I believe the lack of follow up was an anomaly and I would at this time be comfortable recommending him for service. I purchased my home in July of 2018 from a general contractor who performed a complete rehab of the entire home. As part of the project, Paul Salvo Jr was hired to complete the basement waterproofing. The very day we moved in, there was a heavy rain and the "system" failed as we had water in multiple areas throughout the basement. I contacted the seller and he provided me with Paul Salvo Jr's cell number. I spoke with Paul and he recalled the install and asked that I send him my address and he would schedule a time to come out and assess. That was the last I spoke with him, after multiple texts and phone calls it appears, contrary to what he states on his website, they do not "believe in the time honored tradition of standing behind their work". I much prefer to write positive reviews, however it is also important to share my experience. If you are looking for a waterproofing contractor and you come across Paul Salvo Jr, I suggest you keep looking as assurance of a dry basement is too important to not have someone who is committed to the work they perform. I will also provide an update with pictures."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
