    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.

    I would not recommend Strictly Septic for home septic inspections. He showed up two hours late to…read moreour appointment. We had already left because we live far away and had a small time window. He did the inspection without us there. The septic had a problem, but instead of failing it and letting us know, he made a deal with the homeowner to fix it for them. When we tried to call him, he did not answer for days. When he finally did, he was rude and said since we were not paying him anymore, he did not need to answer us. He never gave us the inspection report. The work he did on the septic was poor. He used cheap (rock-filled) soil. We had to spend another $1,000 to fix it. Save yourself the stress and do not use them for septic inspections.

    Chuck Sweed came out to our home on an emergency call. While installing the new septic, he…read morediscovered a deep sink hole. Rather than back filling the sink hole with rock and making sure the ground was stable, he backfilled it with dirt which collapsed at the first big rain. He placed the Dbox at the edge of the sink hole, with the distribution pipe going across the sink hole. When the ground gave way, the system cracked and broke. When contacted, Chuck claimed this was not his responsibility. When I harrassed him enough, he came out and said the hole was not big deal, the system was fine and he'd fill it, which he never did. Got bids from two other companies both of whom said he failed to backfill the sinkhole properly before installing the system and that the pipes and dbox cracked. We paid the new company to do it right. Chuck Sweed is dishonest, does not stand by his work nor does he care about the customer. Avoid this company like the plague!
