If you’re having septic work done at your home or building a new house, don’t cut corners when it comes to your sewer lines. Especially in high-traffic areas, using thin-wall pipe can lead to major problems down the road.

This thin-wall pipe was installed as the sewer main, and as you can see, it simply didn’t hold up to the job. The right materials and proper installation matter when you’re putting something underground that you expect to last for decades.

Do it right the first time — saving a few dollars up front isn’t worth paying for the repairs later.

🚨 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WATER HAS NOWHERE TO GO! 🚨

A client reached out to us Friday afternoon after the storms last week caused a major foundation failure.

Large amounts of water, improper backfill, and no drainage created a tremendous amount of hydrostatic pressure against the basement wall and eventually, the pressure won.

We immediately stepped in and temporarily secured the home with jack posts and heavy beams to stabilize the structure.

Now the real work begins. 💪

We’re laying up a brand-new 51-foot basement wall, corner to corner, to properly rebuild the failed section. The exterior brick will also be reworked once the foundation work is complete.

This is going to be a big project, but we’re looking forward to bringing this home back to where it needs to be.

📸 I’ll be posting progress pictures throughout the project, so follow along and watch this transformation from start to finish! Allen Kiefer

Knocked out a couple driveway entrances for a client. We also opened up a small field and some trails. These entrances were installed to help gain access to multiple parcels of ground getting ready to hit the market soon in hocking hills.

Not sure what these tools are or what kind of dump truck this is we’re running today but not sure I like it 🤣. Gotta go back to our roots every now and then 💪🏼

🚧 Another sewer problem solved! 🚧

Our customer had been dealing with a backed-up sewer line for quite some time. After multiple attempts to clear the blockage using drain snakes and roto-rooter services, the issue still wasn't resolved.

We stepped in and installed a brand-new sewer line from the home to the sewer main. Since the existing sewer tap was no longer usable, we also installed a new sewer tap to ensure everything was connected properly and built to last.

If you're dealing with recurring sewer backups or drainage issues, don't keep fighting the same problem. Give us a call—we'd be happy to help get things flowing again! 💪

Cleaned up an over grown field and cut trails for easy access around 7 parcels of property that will be hitting the market soon. Installed 4 new driveway entrances and over 1500’ of conduit through the woods for AEP to supply power to each parcel.

Pond Restoration Project Complete ✅

This pond had become overgrown and was experiencing a leak in the dam. We excavated and removed the old failing spillway, installed a keyway, packed in new material, and installed a new 12" double-wall culvert to ensure proper water control.

We also reshaped the pond banks, grading the washed-out and steep areas into a safer, mowable slope. To help maintain water levels, we reworked the pond elevation and installed a layer of clay around the entire pond up to the new waterline.

To finish the project, we treated the lily pads with an aquatic herbicide and added pond dye to improve appearance and help control future vegetation growth.

The result is a cleaner, healthier pond with improved water retention, better accessibility, and a fresh new look.

📞 If your pond needs repair, restoration, excavation, or grading work, give us a call. We'd be happy to help.

Put the new semi & dump trailer to work today hauling stone. Also installed a concrete block barrier for a great client to keep semi trucks from running off the edge of the concrete and crushing a new 6” French drain.
