I have always specialized in service but have much experience in all aspects of plumbing. We do commercial and residential new installation and repair as well as gas work and underground service (water, sewer, gas) repair or replace. We also do kitchen & bath remodeling. ***Currently our website is under construction***

"I cannot begin to say how amazing this company is. I was recommended this company on Facebook. I called and was told I would have a technician at my house at 9am. The technicians was prompt and ready to go. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He assisted and gave me suggestions for my project and did the work I asked him to do. He was definitely a life saver helping me out with my water tank. The service I thought was going to cost a ton of money was Penny's compared to their competitors. This company will now be my one and only plumbing resource. Thank you McLean Plumbing you freaking ROCK!!"

Family owned and operated Business. We do land clearing and forestry work for commercial, residential, farmland, hunting leases and clearing around ponds, retention ponds, railroad, bush hogging etc. Our heavy duty forestry equipment mulches all the underbrush and small trees. We also supply, move and deliver decorative boulders. Some topping 14000 pounds! Check us out on FaceBook at CURRY OUTDOORS INC. to view our videos of our equipment. Also Google us. We do NOT offer excavating services. While we own equipment that can do these, we stick to what we do best. Please DON'T select us if you need grading, leveling, dirt work, trenching, culvert. Home Advisior has limited categories to put contractors in. The excavating and site work is the best they have to put us in. We only clear properties of trees and underbrush. If you have any questions before you select us please call 937-790-0058 to see if we can help.

"They did much more then landscaping. They cleaned out my woods and yard, plus much more. They were wonderful and did much more then I could of imagined. I would recommend them to anybody. Great work ethic, hard workers and extremely professional."

"My 450 ft long driveway badly needed to be regraded and needed a solution to the 2-3 seasonal springs that drained and washed and created deep ruts all winter and spring. TSS came and really studied the problems of the driveway, figured out a great multiple pipe drainage solution, regraded, dug out a boulder that was slowly working its way to the surface, installed the pipes. They used larger gravel around the pipes and a thick layer of gravel and dust over everything. Then rolled/compacted it all with a 3 ton roller. All of this in one day. They were very easy to work with, really listened to all of the unique issues the driveway has, carefully dug out peonies that were in the way of one pipe's end. They did a wonderful job and I'm hoping I can hire them to clear a couple of difficult hillsides befor winter too. First time in years that I can ask people to my house and not explain how to get up the driveway! "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

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.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you.
