Mr. Thomas was amazing. He came in and diagnosed the issues immediately Testimonial written by Eric McCants on this site.

On 7/29/2026 Mr Weebs had this to say:
DTC replaced my drainfield, an install involving multiple truckloads of dirt, grading, and installation of a dome system with a D sub box. The project was complicated by layout constraints and design issues from the environmental engineer. I appreciated that Dave worked directly with the environmental engineer to explore adjustments that would better fit the property. Dave and his team stood behind their work and were responsive in addressing issues as they came up. I would definitely use DTC again and recommend them to others.
