It holds 4.8 stars from 16 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the BBB. A 2022 customer who had been waiting months for another company's quote on replacing a leaching field said Dave came out, inspected the system, found a few things that could use tweaking and told them there was no need to replace the leaching field after all. That 2022 customer also said he took the time to explain the system. A 2022 customer described David as prompt and professional and said he is an engineer. A 2025 customer wrote of quick and knowledgeable service. A 2024 customer gave one star, saying the company took half up front, started the job, ran into rock underground and then wanted more money to bring in equipment, although the contract stated he would supply all the equipment, materials and labor. That 2024 customer said the matter had been in litigation for over 3 years.
