Garrison2 Sinkhole Repair

Allen Fetzer, Fetzer Brothers Excavating, called 7/26/06 morning, and a meeting was arranged at 1:00 that same day. He signed a contract and began work immediately. Everything went well for the first few minutes until he accidentally tore out the water line and electrical line from Brunsell's well. Fetzer was able to repair both lines and water in the excavated hole probably allowed more compaction than would have otherwise occurred. There was solid grout along the west edge of the trench, so the mined workings were pretty close. Fetzer said he will haul some topsoil in and rake and seed the area. I spoke with Sylvin Brunsell, the homeowner, and he was satisfied with the work and sorry it caused such a hassle.
