Focus on excavating and other civil work such as septics, patios, driveways, clearing, digging basements etc. Will look at any project though.

"The product in and of itself is excellent. The salesperson was well-informed and did a great presentation, offering a very reasonable price. I was thrilled. The workers were professional and polite. However, when they arrived, they had not reviewed how the pipes were to be installed for proper drainage. I sometimes have to jump into work early if I'm needed. I let them know I might have to leave while they were working, and might not be able to supervise their work. I had to leave early, told them the details, and left. I did not come home to what I had requested. I spoke with the dispatch person (the owner's wife), and was told in no uncertain terms that I was stuck with it the way it was because I had "signed off" on the job. I had to stop payment on the check, and reached out to the owner. He informed me that I was being "unreasonable" to ask that the work be done properly, questioned my sanity, and told me I needed help as I had "mental problems". He threatened to send me to collections, and I informed him that I was happy to pay, and simply needed two drainpipes to be put behind the fence instead of in front of the fence. Again, I was told I was "unreasonable", and that the workers were not required to read the specifications for the job, that it was my responsibility to communicate that to them (news to me). He stated he would come in about two weeks, even though it was a "long drive". I thought about the lack of customer service and realized that I really did not want to deal any further with this company, and paid them. My conclusion: great product, good workmanship, but communication with the home office was very angry and drama-ridden (not to mention being told that I was mentally unstable). I think I expected more from them in terms of communication than they are able to give. If you do use them, be very specific about placement, and be sure to stay until the installation is complete. It is a five-star installation and product, which is what the two stars are for. It's a zero in terms of customer service."

Free home inspections, financing available. (5 yrs Int. Free). Veteran Owned and operated. We specialize in basement waterproofing, foundation repair and crawl space encapsulation.
"Lacks integrity, dishonest and untrustworthy Do yourself a favor and call another company. My experience with this company was very poor. Went through a difficult situation throughout a job. They turned their back, didn’t take ownership and deflected blame. I took this company to court and was compensated. I’ve heard from other dissatisfied customer’s this isn’t the first time nor the last … You reap what you sow. If you choose to do business with this company protect yourself, do not sign their hold harmless and do not trust their word. This company states it’s built on integrity, honesty and trust. Just because it’s a veteran owned company doesn’t mean they inherently have these traits. I’d argue if a veteran has to highlight that, they are the opposite of what they say."

The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.
Plumbers will typically take one to two hours to install a new drain pipe, but that timeline can vary based on the area’s accessibility, the drain length, and the type of drain line. Replacing an easily accessible p-trap under a sink could take as little as a half an hour, while replacing a larger section of drain line behind the wall could take as long as three to four hours. When hiring a plumber for your specific installation, ask them to provide an estimated timeline to get a more accurate assessment.
You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
