## The honest read

Nick's Septic and Excavation installs and repairs septic systems and does excavation work, and its website lists a service area that runs from Monroe and Shelton to Milford and West Haven.

A customer whose septic pipe broke called Nick around 7 AM; one of his guys arrived at 1 PM, and by 2 the pipe was repaired. A customer whose land was very wet said Nick laid out the options and completed a new septic system in a week. A Shelton customer said Nick and his team dug test holes, Nick drew up a detailed plan and installed the system, and later cleared a large area of roots, stumps and brush and hauled it away.

The work goes beyond septic tanks. A customer thanked the company for tackling sink holes in a driveway and yard, a job that also meant moving a large shed, replacing a failing retaining wall, repaving the end of the driveway and installing a new footing drain. A customer with water in the basement after snow melt and heavy rain said Nick and his team found a clogged footing drain, rerouted the pipe and finished in half a day.

A 2025 customer said Nick installed a new French drainage system for a flooding basement. In 2025, a customer whose septic tank top collapsed said Nick came right over and took care of the failed system.

**Strengths:**
- A new septic system — a customer said it was completed in a week
- Same-day pipe repair — a customer said the broken pipe was fixed by 2 PM
- Footing drain fix — a customer said the job took half a day
