So you have a broken sewage pipe or a hot / cold water leak
Now what?
JM Excavation was started as an offshoot company, tangent to an existing leak detection business in 2011 by owning founder Johnas Minshew. The combination of leak detection and years of experience in every aspect of residential or commercial plumbing excavation puts us in the unique position to accurately assess your plumbing problems.
" For most of us our home or business is the biggest investment we will make in life. Plumbing problems are inconvenient, stressful, economic burdens. As an average home owner your not equipped to understand the plumbing language describing what your problem is and how to remedy it. You just know you need it fixed correctly and quickly. For this reason its easy to become prey for unscrupulous service providers who count on you being naive so they can over charge you ."
If you receive a pricing quote on a plumbing excavation and your not sure if it is fair or what your being charged for call us for a second quote. We can explain our process in detail. If your plumber gives you a reasonable repair rate but a high excavation rate you have every right to tell him you want your own excavator to do the digging. Don't let the plumber leverage you by refusing to do the work under those conditions. Call us for a price quote on the digging and we can recommend several reputable plumbing companies that will be happy to give you a second pricing quote. Plumbing problems are costly at best, so find a company that does the best work for the best price. Trust your instincts. The old adage applies you get what you pay for. Beware of companies that give you a price to good to be true.
Exactly what are you paying for? Ask the excavator for references including recent customers. How long has the excavation company been in business? Do they carry verifiable work comp for their employees? If not, an accident could open you up to a liability claim. Does the company carry verifiable proof of insurance, in case something happens to your property. Is the company OSHA compliant with certified supervisors? Is there an English speaking person on your job site the entire time work is being performed. Can they provide you and your plumber with real time photos for your insurance and explain or update you on what is happening at any time. Is this job archived digitally for future reference with date, time, work performed, and pictures in case you need plumbing work in the future and you cant remember what the last plumber worked on. What happens if the leak is inside a structural beam or your slab? What happens to the left over dirt on a dig? Will they relocate excess dirt on your property, or haul it off as part of the price? What if existing sprinkler pipes or cables are damaged during the dig? Can they provide an engineer certificate certifying the backfill? What about roots and rocks? What happens to your plants? What happens a year from now? How does removing dirt from under the slab effect my foundation? Do they barricade and cover the work area when no one is present at the work site for safety of your family and neighbours.
Because you need to know the answers for these questions JM Excavation believes that you should understand and share in the decision making process when it comes to major plumbing excavation. JM Excavation will assist in analysing your problem, interface with your plumber and confer with you on the best options for solving your plumbing problem based on variables of time, money and convenience. The end result of this philosophy is a happy union of the plumber, the excavator, and the home owner who knows exactly what to expect and what is happening during the process.
