- Dan Spaulding2/13/2020I am new to the area and read the previous reviews about fees for digging. I will be honest and say that it had me a little concerned to begin with and I called and spoke with several members of the J&J team prior to them arriving at the new home that I was purchasing. It is true that they do not want to give you a price over the phone for the digging fees and I can honestly understand this due to J&J not being able to see the conditions and not wanting to have an upset customer. With that said Sheldon arrived at the site and probed for the septic and it was deeper than 1 ft. One tank lid was approx 18" the other was 24". He disclosed the additional cost to dig and I asked if I could quickly dig it myself while he assembled his gear. He had no issue with this as long as it didn't slow him down. While digging Sheldon was chatting and found out that he was prior military and we are a military family as well. He couldn't stand to watch me work alone and picked up an extra shovel and helped me finish the hole. I could not believe how generous he was and how professional he was. I would hope J&J keeps this young man gainfully employed and I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend this company to my family and friends.read moreread less
