We specialize in septic systems, class 1 & 2. We do perc test, septic repairs, new installs, diagnosing problem systems. We are also a Norweco Singular Green dealer of HAU/ATU's. I also do some excavating, foundations, grading, water & electric lines, driveways, clearing, and well pump/pressure tank installs. But Septic work is my bread and butter so I pick and choose the other work based off how busy I am otherwise. I don't mind doing whole lot packages for home prep as bundling is better pricing for my clients and more steady work on my end. I do not pump septic tanks.

"I was measuring the distance of a neighbor's septic system from my property line to make sure it was compliant with WV Health Department Code, and these guys were dropping f bombs, calling me a clown, and saying I was "b*******" about a couple inches, even though I didn't say anything to them. They were cursing around my kids and very unprofessional."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
