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."

We have 1-5 employees. Most of the time we don't sub-contract, and in most cases we submit a bill at the end of the job. At this time we don't offer financing. Also serving West Virginia (Other) market: ask for details.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
