After rereading I get your issue with well guys drilling in such a way septic could drain down. I see that problem now. Guess licensing doesn't matter much if they still do the work like that.



I do business in 5 states. In MD, you must be licensed.
In my field, you are either licensed through the home remodeling association or work with a well driller's license. In the test given by the state to get your license, NOT ONE SINGLE QUESTION is asked about the trade. Not one! The questions all pertain to regulations, payroll & taxes. So you really don't have to know how to do what you do, you just need to have enough money to get the license & know where to send the taxes & how much to send. So much for licensing...

Inspectors??? They have their heads so far up their ass, they're looking out their eyes a 2nd time. (but I think they're licensed to do that)
