We’ve been working in North Granville since 1997. We started in logging, moved into full-time excavation in 2020, and we’ve been installing septic systems throughout Washington County ever since.
Josh is on almost every job personally. Not because we don’t trust our crew, but because your project matters and quality control starts at the top.
We know the soil conditions here. The clay that holds water. The rocky sections that need special handling. The slopes that require careful grading to prevent erosion and ensure proper drainage.
First, we assess your property. Soil composition, drainage patterns, any potential complications. We give you a realistic timeline and cost estimate before any work begins.
Next, we handle permits and coordinate with utility companies for line marking. No waiting around for someone else to show up or wondering if paperwork got filed correctly.
Then we excavate, install your tank and distribution system, and complete all the connections. Our GPS guidance technology ensures everything is placed exactly where it needs to be, to the fraction of an inch.
Finally, we coordinate inspections and make sure everything passes the first time. Your system is ready to work, and you’re ready to move forward with your project.
