Dynamis is a Greek word associated with the synonyms: power, capability, and potentiality. We believe this term is integral to the way we serve our customers. Our problem solving and execution bring efficiencies that empower our customers to reach their goals. We have been in business since 1998 serving the commercial environmental, petroleum, and waste-water sectors. We have an extensive background in excavation. We are now taking that experience, service, and knowledge that our commercial clients have come to expect from us and expanding into residential/small business excavation.

"We are so pleased with our project of a new driveway. The guys did an awesome job creating a new driveway to connect to the original driveway; cut down numerous trees; hauled in many truck loads of gravel for the 1 mile driveway. Yisrael and Jade kept us informed the entire time on the project and even sent us pictures. We could not have asked for anything more and the quality of work was exceptional! This was a huge project. We will use them again in the near future for more work."

"The company was prompt to respond to my original request for service. I thought that I would just need to have the septic tank emptied. I was told that the field lines needed to be replaced, and that possibly the septic tank would also have to be replaced. They did the work soon after the request. The quality of their work was very low. Here are the problems 1. They did not return the yard to previous state as promised. The original work including reseeding was completed in early March 2019. a month later I called and told them that the grass had not grown and that the area where they had worked was uneven. They then said that this was normal and they would come back and refill in the area. 2. When they refilled in the area they dug up several rocks. They removed some of them and placed them along my fence, near my garden area and other places they did not belong. They did a terrible job of leveling and filling in the area. It was almost worst than when they started. 3. I called several times and talked to Roger. He kept saying that he would come and take a look and get the problem taken care of. Finally he sent another person to report to him what the job looked like. I never heard back from Roger, so I called and left a message. Finally after several calls he returned my call and said that he would come on Thursday around 10:00 AM. He never showed up. I have also tried to get to talk to Jeff about the situation and the office assistant never gave the message to Jeff, or he does not care about the quality of work that his people perform. 4. There was another job that Roger had given me a quote on when he was originally working on the Septic system. He gave me a quoted offer and I said that would be fine. He said he would return next week to do the job and never showed up. 5. The last time I called Roger I told him that the septic tank area near the house had a leak and smelled terrible. He told me that this was normal. He never came to inspect. (I have checked and this is not normal despite what he thinks.) 6. It is going to cost me approximately another $1,200 to get my yard into decent shape thanks to the poor quality of their work. 6.In addition, the man who mows our yard hit a large exposed rock and it broke the mower blade. he has a large, commercial type mower, and had to pay to have the blade replaced. He now refuses to mow that part of the yard because of the rocks which were left on the surface.8.On the second attempt to complete their job they removed my raised garden, and raspberry plants which were in in a different area than the line fields."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic system can fail for various reasons, and most commonly, excessive water use or sudden surges in wastewater can overwhelm the system's capacity. Neglecting regular maintenance, like tank pumping and inspections, can also lead to clogs, leaks, and eventual breakdowns. Other issues that lead to failure include age-related wear and tear, root infiltration, improper disposal of non-biodegradable materials or chemicals into the system, unsuitable soil conditions, physical damage, and even environmental factors like flooding or soil erosion.

A septic tank riser features a base ring that you need to install flush to the opening of the septic tank. After thoroughly cleaning the opening of the tank, fit the base ring over the opening and use a butyl sealant rope to create an airtight seal with the tank’s rim. Cut the riser rings to the appropriate height and stack them on the base ring. Then, install the riser lid. This task might be taken on by an experienced DIYer, but you should always call a septic tank professional if you are unsure of your skills.

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.

Regular checks of pressure tanks, testing water quality, and cleaning intake screens.

Expect to take at least a day to drill your own well by hand. For a 500-foot well, this could take even longer, depending on the makeup of the soil and the terrain you are drilling through. Other factors include your physical strength and overall fitness level and the weather conditions you’re working in.
