I would recommend Charlie at Kinsel Trucking &Excavating for any of your excavating needs! They were on time, did an excellent job taking down a garage and the concrete at a property our church owns, took out a row of old shrubs like butter and left the site smoothed out and clean! All this at a very reasonable price. Good job, well done!

had this to say:
Called Oscar, explained issue that normal rooter could not break through. He called back to office and Charlie from Kinsel arrived within an hour or so of initial call and immediately went to work cleaning out a root blocked main line ~75 feet from house to septic. Explained everything asked, came back with excavator and went at it from other direction, coordinating with camera. Honestly the line is probably as clear as the day it was put in ~70 years ago. The high pressure water jetter is the ONLY way to go, IMHO....Coordinated pump out service with Fulton County Septic and made sure everything level as when he started after installing risers to make "next time" easier. (minus the missing grass of course. 😂 ). Price was in line with expectations for the job.Highly recommend.
