Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Outstanding Service and Incredible Workmanship! I can't say enough good things about H&M Services! Hector and his crew went above and beyond to help me after a storm left my livestock without a fence. While other companies ignored my calls or acted like my situation wasn’t important, Hector made me feel heard and valued from the very start. Even with their packed schedule, they worked me in and got the job done quickly, saving my animals’ freedom and my peace of mind. The team arrived early, worked tirelessly without taking breaks, and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Their dedication, professionalism, and hard work were truly impressive. Every single person was polite, respectful, and focused on getting the job done right. Hector took the time to answer all my questions, big or small, and made sure I was completely satisfied. If you're looking for a fence company that genuinely cares about their customers and delivers top-quality work, look no further. Highly recommended!"

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

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. 

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much.
