That's quite a landscaping challenge. I'm impressed with your team's ability to adapt to the situation and find solutions to the septic system problem. It's a testament to your expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, talk about a strike of bad luck for the homeowner, i can only imagine that complete septic system install price! Especially when not expected, then the tree?? Awesome work as usual tho, enjoying the content.
In my county they are literally 'no permit', in that modern OSSF usually require aerators so all old systems are out-of-date & discontinued. Most need aeration tanks & new sewage disposal areas to meet modern standards.
Good stuff and great video, always waiting for your stuff to pop up in my feed. Are you still working full time or have you made the switch? I'm up in Vermont, a lot of driveway and ditching work these last few years with the heavy rain.
Nice job, just a thought, if you get any other jobs around a septic tank and leach field. Could you flush some food or pond coloring down the toilet, see if it pops anywhere.
I do all my jobs as full bids. I find it easier and more fair to both the client and I as we both know what the final price is (assuming no change orders or surprises) and lets me be efficient without losing money by working fewer hours.
Makes me wonder if you arrived to a work site and start doing work and they find out their septic is broke. (prior break) that showed itself with you working. Whos at fault how would you approach that or prevent it
I imagine it depends on how it broke. In this case, there was no damage caused by me and it was clear to the septic guy that the system had been in failure for a long time due to signs left in the field (black bacteria on the stone)
I own a landscape business in the southern nh area. If you don’t mind me asking what quarry you went to, I’m looking for options on where to take material
Hi not watched your video before but would it not have been better to have started at the other end of the court the at least you would have have firm ground still to get across the court but good job 😊
At 9 minutes you are scraping the asphalt away from the slope - making it a more difficult job to remove. That was a stupid move. You should have scraped towards the slope where you will be using the removal vehicles.
something tells me they didn't get a permit to cover their leech field. i bet when they put it in. someone said the government cant tell me what to do. and it seems it would have been for their benefit. now how long have their family been playing in sewage in their back yard.
@@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC so the first owners did it. and didn't tell the new owners, but what i said was true about the first owners, so buyers beware, they should have checked everything had a permit. so legally they could sue the last owners. to pay for fixing this system,
@@MrGarycharters Yup! I was really concerned I had broken something during export, but luckily for me (unlucky for homeowners), it was broken to begin with!
That is so disgusting & should be a lesson for you. Always order the OSSF Site-Plan. Modern OSSFs use aerators to treat the effluent so that sogginess you found is surfactants from untreated sewage. Note that with a modern aerated OSSF the effluent is still 2-3% contaminated with possible pathogens. In my State OSSFs require 'comprehensive drainage plans' with properties having less than 2% slope requiring 'controlled drainage'.
Not his fault, the system had been failing for years, the house had stood empty before the new homeowner so they didn´t know either, since noone used the house-water. You would have known this if you had listen to the video.
@@henriklarsson5221 I think the first thing you should see is the Sewage Disposal Area's site plan. If your customer is not on city sewage & doesn't know where the sewage is then I wouldn't play in it.

Man tough break for this homeowner between the septic failure and the tree falling lol
Thanks for the show !
Another great video, thank you!
Thanks!

Always get a septic inspection when buying a house.

@32:56 Did they use like 48 bags of redi-mix or something? My God, that pole wasn't going anywhere for another 300 years. LOL
I was most surprised by that too. When I saw that footing come out of the ground I was like Damn!
That’s a cute house

Thanks! This is still part time for me, but tempting to go full time!

Excavation contractor in Colorado here… quick question. Is this job t&m or hard bid?
I do all my jobs as full bids. I find it easier and more fair to both the client and I as we both know what the final price is (assuming no change orders or surprises) and lets me be efficient without losing money by working fewer hours.

@@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC Ya id be worried theyd try to place blame on the dirt movers since its easier and cheaper then paying for it themselves.

@ ahhh ok that’s right in my area! Thank you!
Why would someone want to save half a tennis court?
@@autiger621 they were saving it to use it for pickle ball for their kids
Hi not watched your video before but would it not have been better to have started at the other end of the court the at least you would have have firm ground still to get across the court but good job 😊
The ground under the court was firm, it was the ground just outside of it that wasn't. Wouldn't have made much of a difference unfortunately.

This family had just moved in the beginning of this year, a few months prior to filming.

At 12:17 you hit the pipe.
At least it wasn't your fault
@@MrGarycharters Yup! I was really concerned I had broken something during export, but luckily for me (unlucky for homeowners), it was broken to begin with!
It was the assfault
28:40 I see a river of poop water
