"They will change the contract, promise a refund and never send it. They also will not respond to inquiries. Promised call backs that never happen. Promised call from manager, never received. We had the work done in May and they are still keeping my money as of August. If they change the work order do not pay the full amount unless you get a new contract. I made the mistake of trusting them."

"MAC Group did a wonderful job fixing our hill slip and installing a large block retaining wall in front of our home. The work crew Salem, Brandon, Jeremy and Ricky did a great job and were very courteous, diligent, and professional during this project. Even the neighbors walking by commented how courteous the work crew was. Even though this was the first time this team had installed a large block retaining wall, they did an excellent job completing the work and ensuring the excavation, drainage, installation, backfill, and final grading were completed per the Geotechnical Engineers design. The foreman Jacob even moved a couple of small trees for us at the beginning of the project which is much appreciated! We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend MAC Group to anyone considering them for their next project! Thanks again for all your help! David "

"The owner did an excellent job of assessing the problem and developed a solution that would permanently fix the problem, not just "cover it up" in the short term. The amount of work required was extensive, being both inside and out, They paid a great deal of time and effort to assure the work was done right. He also consulted with me every step of the way to assure things were done to my satisfaction (ie. color selection, landscaping options, material selection). The cost was fair for the work that needed to be done, and if you consider the high quality of the work, the price was very reasonable. I was offered options to modify the cost along the way. This was one of best experiences I have ever had with a contractor that had to do significant work."

"My Mother-in law called James and he told her he knew what the issue was. She was told that if they did not do any work, there would be no charge, she is 67 and lives alone. The odor in the house was bad enough to burn your eyes and make your throat sore after 30 minutes. Valley Plumbing showed up on time, came into the house and said they could not smell anything, one of them said he was sick and could not smell anything anyway. They took a flashlight and looked down the drain in the bathtub and sink, said they were full of water and there could not be any gas escaping from them. Both of them then went around the outside of the house and said they could not find anything. Before they left, the one that said he was sick brought paperwork to her and said there was a service call fee. She explained that she had been told that if they did not do any work, there would be no charge. He asked her to sign stating that they had been there and had not done any damage. A few days later, she gets a bill in the mail stating that she had refused to pay the bill and they had her signature in the space marked total due. It also stated that she had 30 days to pay or they would turn it over to collections. That the Guys have to be paid for the travel time. I tried to call the owner of Valley Plumbing and left a message for him to call me, he never did. After no response from the owner, I posted a negative review on Valley Plumbing's Facebook Page. I was there for this entire time with her and it was terrible to see. After they left, I called another company, they showed up and fixed the issue in five minutes. It was a vent for the bathtub and sink. Today, My mother-in-law received a hateful and threatening phone call from Barbra Arnold with MacCorkle and Lavender Law Firm telling her that if I did not remove the post they were going to sue. I called Barbra Arnold back and she had the same attitude with me. I hung up on her. WOULD NOT recommend Valley Plumbing for any kind of service. The misled my elderly Mother-in-law and threaten you with collections and lawsuits when your not satisfied with their work, or lack thereof in her case."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

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. 

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
