Here is an example of a "double cleanout." It's important to have a double cleanout on your sewerline, if you ever have plumbing issues, you can have it inspected both, towards the house, and away from the house. They are really simple to install, especially if you already have it dug out. Today we fixed a leaking, rusted out valve, on a natural spring.

It was a little tricky considering there isn't a way to shut the system off to replace the valve. Abraham Lincoln once said "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." We spend allot of time behind the scenes planning and preparing, before we even get to the job so we can work as efficiently as possible once we arrive, benefiting both the cust.

This is a water leak we fixed over the weekend. This was about 4 ft. Deep and quite an unusual transition from a 3/4" poly pipe made for sprinklers, to a 1 1/4" PVC Pipe. But we made the repair and no more problems for this happy customer. This is what to expect to see when we replace your sewer line out in the road to your house.

This is why you shouldn't plant trees near a septic system. The nearest tree was 60 ft. Away from this junction box, tree roots find the path of least resistance. And they love water! So if you have a leechfield full of free draining gravel, and a steady daily dose of water everyday, thats great!. for your trees.

We had been calling around to a few places to have our septic system completely replaced and either had miscommunication or no communication with other companies. I called Skylar after finding his business on Google, and I'm glad I did. He answered right away and was very knowledgeable and helpful. After we sent him info of our property, he had a very reasonable quote for us within 20 minutes. Very professional and great communication. We scheduled to have it done a couple weeks later. They did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier. I highly recommend John Rae Excavation. Skylar is a great guy

Skyler at John Rae Excavation showed up early, worked hard, and was very professional. He gave me clear answers to the questions I had and did an awesome job.
On top of that when I called in to the county to get someone out to inspect the septic system before they covered it all up he had already been in touch with them and worked it out.
John Rae Excavation has I high review from me and I would feel good recommending them to anyone.

JohnRae Excavation was excellent to work with. We had leech field issues and he came out and let us know what he could do for us.
Our leech field is working and we couldn’t be happier with the work that he did. He went over and above of what we expected.
Thanks John Rae!

We hired these folks to put some water hydrants in our yard and a French drain for our dog kennel. We didn’t have a perfect plan and were winging it and they came out and gave us great quotes gave us better ideas how to do it or save us money and have been absolutely phenomenal to work with! Can’t recommend them enough. They went above and beyond with our project!!

I had a leak along our water line at my trailer. Skylar bid the job at a very reasonable price and committed to a day that he could fix the leak and make other upgrades to valves and existing pipe. He showed up on the committed day, made all repairs. then went above and beyond to make sure we was happy with his work. Skylar and his crew were pleasant to work with and got the job done as promised at the promised price. I will use John Rae Excavation again if needed.

Skylar and his company is very wonderful and amazing to work with. They did exactly what we wanted to have done with moving some plumbing and water. He was quick with his response and getting us a quote for the job. He was wonderful with working out the best time to get the job done and a timely manner. Him and his employees are very professional, kind, and all around this is a very great company to work with.

I am so glad that I was able to find Skyler to do my landscaping job. He is a man of his word, he did what he said he would do and he did a great job. I’ve never seen anybody with so much skill on the backhoe. I highly recommend him for any trenching, digging or Boulder moving jobs. He’ll “dig you out”, and, “he’s got you covered“!!!

Skylar and son repaired the main water line into our house. He quickly responded to our request for service with a quote and made the repair the next day. His company is very professional and responsive to customer needs. I would recommend John Rae Excavation to anyone looking for a first class excavator and a great customer experience.
