The Challenges

This project was a very complex situation. Prior to my work, the property shared a well with a neighbor and there was a dispute. The owner of this property called us to install a new well on his property (due to the slope of the mountainous terrain, required excavating a pad for the driller to be able to setup his machine), tie into the line coming through the foundation, cap and drain the line running down to the neighbor’s well and then repair the driveway, leaving the well-pad for future development (instead of putting it back to native).

The Challenges

Customer wanted to do as much of their own work as possible!

Customer requested we add road base to interior of home foundation and grade/level for a monolithic slab/foundation pour.
