He came out right away and arrived a few minutes early. He took a great deal of time to go over all the details with my husband and was very thorough. We decided to put off the job due to our lawn drying up on its own and the high cost of the whole procedure, however if we do need to proceed with the replacing of the leeching fields, they will be the people to to the job.
Description of Work: They came out and gave us an estimate on investigating our leeching fields and the process in which the replacement would be.

The folks at AESI are unusually kind, responsive, patient, informative and very genuinely friendly. On a storm drain issue, Dave could've easily proposed major new work and business for himself, but instead he referred me to another contractor for a simple inexpensive clean-out/repair. We haven't had any work done by AESI yet, but based on the clear technical guidance and estimates Dave has provided, I'm looking forward to hiring him for a sewer connection in the near future. Our local health department also recommended him over others in the business.
Description of Work: Visit to provide advice with respect to storm water drainage and also septic system expansion/replacement.

We had Dave crush our old cement septic box and put in new pipes/lines and a new plastic type septic box. He was prompt, accommodating and did the work in 2 days. Had to dig up most of our backyard, he completed the work and left our backyard level and ready to be re-seeded for grass. Everything works fine and we have no complaints. We have the tank properly pumped when we are supposed to to avoid any problems as well.
Description of Work: Crushed our old cement tank, left in ground, new, larger plastic type box installed, new lines/pipes run, baffle box and distribution box/lines updated.

Dave from AEIS was very professional. He came out to my house to talk with me and discuss what we wanted to do. He provided some suggestions based on the plans for the height of the garage floor to have the driveway slope adequately towards the street for natural drainage of water. He was the second lowest of the three bids I obtained, but his attention to detail and because of his extra efforts during the bidding process gave him the edge. Everything from start to finish went very well. Dave came out and dug for the foundation, came back the next day to check on things for the foundation guys and actually ended up helping pour the footings. We were extremely happy with the price, the quality of work, and there were zero delays or surprises in completing the work he promised. We would highly recommend his company and will use them again if the opportunity presents itself.
Description of Work: AEIS excavated for a foundation of my garage, backfilled after the foundation was poured, and sloped my driveway with gravel. Dimensions: 35l x 20w garage with a 25l x 6w breezeway attaching the garage to the house. A
