Hopefully they are. In my own research, about 40% of tree companies don't even have worker's comp insurance. That is illegal if they have any employees, and they nearly always do. Many of those call themselves insured or even "fully insured" when they in fact are not.
This guy is a good guy. He knows Insurance will sort out the money so all he is concerned about is safety. The tree guys should have known where the septic system is. It's never at the front of the house, usually side but mostly at the back. Three little pigs were right!
People in the comments think the homeowner should know they're on the septic tank didn't know anything. My new house has a septic system and I have a general idea where it's at my front yard. You hire a contractor they should do the homework that's why you pay for a professional. They screw it up it's on them now the guy gets a free septic system not his fault.
Exactly, no professional is going to take a homeowners word on something they will do the work necessary to verify for themselves whether or not the area is safe to take the truck.
@@emsamish and yet he said nothing when the operator set up with a leg on the lid? ...it is one of those things where actions mean far more than words on an estimate the dude who took the ride to the ground has a case against both parties.
In a different video the man said It was marked and they had discussed it. This happened the NEXT DAY, different crew, who wanted to start a day early to do trees in 2 yards from one set up.
As a Crane operator for 48 years, 100% of all homes that have a septic system are traced and marked. This is a rookie mistake. this mistake is easily a $350K to $400K mistake.
This is the third you tube video I have saw on this today. The operators of this crane truck are very incompetent. Obviously they failed the very basic things when setting up the trucks supporting outrigger systems. Massive failures occurred when the equipment wasn't properly set up.
@gsrailfann5025 Actually I do and I also hold a class a cdl driving license. The photos aren't that great but many mistakes were made. The first mistakes was when the driver didn't park on the street and visit with the home owners and verify where underground utilities were located. Septic tank drain lines electric lines. Outrigger support s and there were probably four with this machine need large boards under each to support the weight put on each outrigger support. Anytime this machine is set up when off of a concrete or asphalt surface extra support must be put under each contact point where contact is made with the ground. Actually boards should be placed under each out rigger to prevent damaging to the surface of asphalt or concrete. Careful pre planning will prevent the kind of major failures that happen in the video shown. Ok...!!!....
@@ronnieterry4916 cdl license is much different then the crane license. Cdl is strictly to drive the truck. You can’t just sit here and say probably. You don’t know what happened. To many variables. It’s easy to put the blame on someone when you have no clue.
$$$ LESSONS LEARNED $$$....no marking paint/tape to mark off septic tank? 4 rods driven in ground around septic tank with marking tape stretched around NO GO area?
Yeah, I would leave my house until "someone" tells me it's okay to go back in it after they just broadcast HIS ADDRESS all over the news, yeah right !!!
So, septic was marked out to all. OSHA, will determine who lacked to convey, to crane operator. Never the less, crane operator is liable for any and all damage. Crane operator is responsible for setting up crane, and any good operator knows beforehand, where his outriggers are placed in a safe manner. INSURANCE... Always get a certificate of insurance from contractors.
I worked for local #7, ironworkers. Set up dozens of cranes in downtown Boston area. Always had a city engineer on site for placing outriggers/ subway system and tunnels underground were located by engineer, as danger spots. Hell, our steel pads for each outrigger, weighed 5,000 lbs. Spend about 2 - 3 hours, just setting up crane. Also, mostly at nite, so as to block all traffic and pedestrian traffic within work zone. And we had to be packed up and gone by 5:45 am.
When i had z tree cut down i went over to my neighbor and asked her to move her car just in case, it was parked on the street near where the tree was, everything went smoothly but you never know.
He told them, it is the operators responsibility to make sure the area is safe. You can't just assume bc no one said anything that it is safe. They should have probing rods the ones plumbers use to locate sewer taps and septic systems on their truck so they can verify there is no tank where they want to operate the truck.
Who ever built that house did a damn good job!
I just commented on another video the same exact thing lol.
Yeah it's called bricks
How many beers did they drink before they parked on the roof
They SAY they are fully insured...we shall see...

A lot of tree companies disclaim all damage to septic and driveways in the contract.
When you run a crane dont you survey the area where they will be footing?
Glad know one was hurt. I would like to have heard the wife interview.
That's one way to advertise
This is what happened when you hire your brother instead of the guy. That's the expert
So the homeowner didn’t tell him he’s on top of the septic smh
In a different interview, the homeowner said that the septic system was laid out in the estimate. But a different crew showed up the day of the crane.

@@kevint1910 He probably assumed they were professionals and didn't feel the need to hover over them. He said he was inside when all this happened.

If i was a betting man i would say property owner will be at fault. When you sign for a crane set up you are responsible for ground conditions
He doesn't realize yet. No septic, no occupancy permit. He won't be living in that house for a while.

And with negligence , general liability / business insurance may not pay, it's to be seen . Not good for everyone involved .
