Description of Work: We had to have an extension put on to our septic because the previous owner didn't have the septic to code. Marshall was very professional, made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way, and went above and beyond in helping us solve that issue as well as some that popped up during the installation. We are so pleased we are using him again for a new house we are building. We would absolutely recommend him!

Marshall and his helper gave us some options and talked to us about the pros and cons of each. They finished the job and were extremely professional and kind. I would definitely recommend this company.

He was wonderful. He came over and was telling me what he thought I needed to do. He said he’d be able to do it and gave me other names as well so that I could get comparative estimates. This was such a major job, he said to go get estimates. I was so impressed that he did that. He even talked to the people at the state to see if they would adjust what I needed to do so that it wouldn’t cost me as much money. He called before he showed up and came when he was supposed to.
Description of Work: He came over and performed an excavation service that involved my septic tank.

We were very pleased with our contractor's punctuality. He set up an appointment to give us a free estimate and he was very prompt. Mr. Graves was very knowledgeable about our septic issues. He spent a great deal of time with us explaining to us what needed to be done. We felt very confident that he would do a great job for us. We discussed it and decided to use Graves Excavating Septic. He put us on the schedule and arrived exactly when he said he would. Our tank needed to be pumped, and he arranged that as well. We were able to have our system repaired. Mr. Graves located the system and determined that only our first line was full. We had enough system left to last us for many years-he just had to make it accessible. Everything is working wonderfully. He was very careful and did not leave a mess. We will be telling our friends to call him. Expertise and great service is very important to us. We could not be happier!
Description of Work: Graves Excavating Septic arranged to have our septic tank pumped. Then he repaired our system by using our existing system. We did not have to add additional drain field. All work was completed in one day and we were flushing happily by the end of the day. All problems were fixed and he did not leave a mess behind:).

When they arrived, we lifted the lid and the water was no longer standing in the riser. Mr. Graves recommended I not have any work done at this time and just keep an eye on it and to call him if it plugs up again. He did not charge me anything.
Description of Work: My drains were draining slowly, so I had the septic tank pumped. When Kington Sewer removed the lid, water was standing inside the riser and they told me I would need my field drain repaired. They recommended Marshall Graves and provided a phone number. Kington pumped the tank. After that, the plumbing drained better, but I contacted Marshall Graves and was told it would cost between $1000 to $2000 to repair the drain field.

We paid for the service of this company, and they never finished the work. We were not able to get a hold of them again, and I am very dissatisfied with this company. I can not believe how untrustworthy they were. I can not comment on the work besides what was done which was about only half of the yard and honestly it wasn't bad. I just can't get over the fact that they ripped us off.
Description of Work: We had this company level the yard for us with their bob cat. It was about a quarter of an acre of land that needed to be worked.
