Septic Solutions and Services Inc is a family owned and operated. We are a septic system installation and servicing business. Anything from new installations to repairing your old system if it is repairable. We are continuing a 4 decade tradition of installing the best septic system you could have. WE ARE THE STANDARD TO WHICH ALL OTHERS ARE COMPARED.

"Tim Bragg and his company Septic Solutions of Adrian, WV was hired in 2007 to excavate a basement for a new home, install a septic tank, connect a water supply line to the house, and install an underground PVC drainage system to carry rain water away from the foundation. A problem was discovered in July 2019 that an important PVC connection had never been glued together and had pulled apart. This allowed rain water to accumulate next to the foundation and septic tank. I contacted Mr. Bragg and his response was that they would correct it some time in August. I also sent him pictures of the separated connection that was found underground. Unfortunately, that was the first and last communication with Mr. Bragg as he no longer took my phone calls or returned phone calls or texts. The lack of response is totally unprofessional and not trustworthy. If you don't want to fix it, can't fix it, or don't want to take responsibility for the mistake, then speak up. Don't hide behind voicemail."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

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.

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.
