    Blackrock did a full drainage job for a friend who lives in Newburgh. This is what the lawn looks like when he cuts it. The foundation still has water all around after digging down several feet. The PVC pipes that Doug installed DO NOT drain away from the house as expected. The water comes back towards the house because Doug didn't pitch the pipes properly. Doug refuses to come back and correct his faulty work. He is obviously an amateur when it comes to installation of drain pipes. I would suggest avoiding Blackrock and Doug like he has the plague...I would give Zero Stars if Yelp allowed me to apply that rating to his lousy work ethic

    This is finish grade from Blackrock. This is supposedly my yard graded to a swale

    Scott charged $600 for a septic inspection. In person he was friendly and he did a good job snaking…read morea camera in and showing a live video of a problem the main sewer pipe had, and after he opened up the septic tank and took a look he told us the tank was generally okay. He said he would send more details in a full report, and we'd receive it 2 days later. 2 days later came and went. I had to call him 5x before he finally picked up 3 days later. Later that night he sent me a 7 sentence report with a doodle of the property, and said he'd send more once he figure out an issue with his software. I made the mistake of paying him before he sent over the full report, because it's been more than 2 weeks since he sent me his doodle and I never heard from him again - though I've sent him multiple emails, texts, and Facebook messages since. Since I didn't have enough details about the septic, I hired someone else to do another inspection. They charged $50 less, gave us many more important details about the system in person, and provided us with an 11 page in-depth report on the same day of inspection. They also texted me back right away whenever I had a question. It was like night and day dealing with these two different companies. It's possible Orange County Septic Services is the right company for certain jobs, but I can't recommend them for septic inspections.

    On Thursday night I noticed that whenever I ran the water that it was popping up through the yard…read moreat the outflow of my septic tank. Came with a lovely smell as well. I pretty well knew my leechfield was probably shot. The next morning I called three places to get some rough estimates and timelines as to when they could come out to do the work. Orange County Septic Services came in below the other estimates and was able to get out there the very next day. Sold! After they had dug the system up they showed me why I was having the problem, outflow pipe full of roots, and then explained how they were going to fix everything. Did all the work and tested before they filled it all back in. Ended up knocking out the whole job in a couple of hours. Great experience from start to finish.

    This company did an OUTSTANDING job, assessing and repairing my drainage needs. I had basement…read moreflooding after rains, due to the water level buildup around my house. Bill Jacobs did not try to "upsell me" over the phone, telling me possible solutions that were less complicated than I anticipated. He assessed the issue, evaluated the drainage piping issues and suggested least expensive solutions first, with further review once accessing the drain pipes. He communicated extremely well around appointment times, during the project, even showing pictures to explain how the progress was going. He made improvements over what the builder failed to do, burying gutter downspouts and connecting all drainpipes around the house. His crew unfortunately cut my underground electric dog fence, which was my fault as I forgot to indicate the lines. They told me what they had done and fixed it themselves the next day. After the job was completed, they cleaned up the site perfectly and threw down hay until grass regrows. Bob then took me around the house explaining all that he did, and answered all of my questions. Bob Jacobs is a man of his word, is honest, communicative and shows pride in his work. He correctly assessed what needed to be done, as the area flooded weeks later and my basement is dry!! Thanks Bob!

    If you need excavator and/or skid steer work done, Bill is the gentleman to call. I hired him to…read moreregrade a yard, replant bushes and finish a gravel drive among other things. He's willing to do what you'd like or steer you in a better direction. I've been in construction for over 20 years and it's harder and harder to find people who do good work and care about that work. Honestly, I have a hard time having other people do anything construction related for me because there's some much poor work done by so many people. Bill and his crew are among the few who I'd hire again and again. You aren't going to find better and his pricing is very fair. If you hire someone else you will find you've overpaid for less quality, trust me. Have Jacob Enterprises do the work!
