the "NO SEE UM" Contractor Scam! PULLED & Released w/NEW UPDATES

What happens here

Continue the excavation process with detailed hand-digging around the well casing. This is critical because private utility lines (like those for a well) are not located by public services. Carefully use shovels to feel for buried pipes and electrical wires to prevent accidental damage. The video emphasizes the need for extra caution due to the 'no see 'em scam' where contractors might claim to do work that is unverifiable underground.

Goal: Safely locate and expose all buried utilities around the well casing.

Tools and materials

  • Mini Excavator Bobcat 325 — Removing larger volumes of soil once sensitive areas are cleared
  • Shovels — Careful manual excavation

there's two things happening here one is i'm digging very slowly and cautiously because i'm feeling for any resistance as i'm pulling back on the excavator bucket if i hit a wire or if i hit a pipe i can actually feel that resistance go through the machine and i can instantly stop what i'm doing the second thing that's happening here is i've got a hand dig i can't locate those utilities because a public utility locator does not locate private utilities and the piping from a well into a structure is not a public utility it's private so there's no way for me to possibly locate this other than just being extra cautious as i'm doing the dig [Music] my first question is are you looking for gold anyways i forgot to mention that on these wells now i mean i'm not joe well guy or anything but no there's pipe i don't know how deep you are but they put the pipe down the middle and there's a motor on it that pushes that's where you get your pressures so i don't understand your pressure tank i don't either i don't get it either okay that's why i got the well guy coming out here this afternoon i'm gonna all right guys i'm gonna jump in here because in the original video i pulled down because there was a mistake where one of the local contractors up in the sturgeon lake area was actually being blamed for the one that did this work when actually nothing could be further from the truth my goal with these videos is to enter is to educate you guys while i also entertain you guys and the last thing i want to do is have that come at the expense of some company that has nothing to do with what happened in this video what occurred in this video occurred approximately 10 years ago and the contractor that did it i attempt to track down and he stopped returning my phone calls and then pretty much just disappeared off the map trust me guys if i could locate this guy and name him i would i just don't want some local company being hurt by this video i really want you guys to be able every time you watch one of my videos to be able to pull some kind of some kind of useful information out of them that will help benefit you in some way but not while i bore you to death so i try to make interesting videos that always give you a little bit of a take away but not at someone's expense second thing i want to clear up is that central uh pressure tank being buried right next to the well casing the reason for that is i have two houses on the property and anytime you typically would have a…
