## The honest read

Water lines, sewer lines and septic systems: H & M Excavating, Inc. describes itself on HomeAdvisor as providing water, sewer and septic services in the Plainville, MA area. Its website lists a service area of Plainville, Franklin, North Attleboro, Medfield, Attleboro, Bellingham and Foxborough, and the company says it has been in business 10 years.

A 2026 customer said H&M Excavating replaced the water service line at their home/farm and finished faster than they expected. A 2025 customer said Chris and Zach did excavation and road work for a home garage and helped coordinate with the concrete companies. A 2024 customer said H&M replaced an extremely old septic system.

A 2023 customer called Chris around 8:30 AM about a blocked main waterline and said he took care of permits and completed the work by mid afternoon. A 2022 customer said H&M hooked them up to town sewer, decommissioned the septic and did the work in 1 day, including clean up and adding top soil. In a 2022 review, a customer said two areas of fence had to come down for a water pipe repair and that they put it back up before leaving.

A 2021 reviewer, an architectural design professional based in New Haven, CT wrote about H and M Excavating of Plainville, MA replacing an old 3-bedroom septic system in Attleboro, MA, with the water and gas lines repositioned to make room. The 2021 reviewer said Chris made the arrangements with the gas provider, brought in his own plumber to relocate the water lines and handled the building inspections.

A 2019 customer said Chris, Zack and a third crewman arrived at 8am to replace the main sewer line to the town sewerage connection and finished, as promised, at 3pm. A 2019 customer said the H&M quote was at least 30% less than all others.

**Strengths:**
- Permits handled — a 2023 customer said Chris took care of permits
- One-day sewer hookup — a 2022 customer said the work took 1 day
- Fence put back — a 2022 customer said they put it back up before leaving
- A lower quote — a 2019 customer said it was 30% under all others
