After one of our clients told us her ground felt "bouncy," we did some digging, literally. What we found surprised us all. It was a leach field made out of old tires - over 100 of them! We removed the tires, and created a proper and updated leach field. We also finished our client's project - a raised planting bed. This 17' x 21' planting bed gives our client enough room to plant her fruits, veggies and herbs, complete with drainage and a roof!

Yet another example of why you NEED an outside inspector/consultant to monitor your construction project - someone who isn't motivated by the financial reward of a quick and cheap completion. This void in the block should have been filled with concrete because it's a support for a door opening. The builder added the reinforcing steel (rebar), but never filled the cell. Now we have to break holes in every block cell in the whole house that is supposed to be grouted solid to verify it was done correctly. We can help ensure these kind of problems don't occur on your project. WhatsApp 8782 8820

PVC shouldn't have a belly. Pressurized water lines are under constant stress and can fatigue over time. This line had swollen and burst, leaving the owner's pump running for several hours before being discovered. A thorough inspection and some preventive maintenance could have stopped this problem before it happened, saving damage to the pump and a costly, emergency repair. Call is for your inspection today!
