Thank you for your interest in Merritt's Excavation and our services. I got my start when I was knee high learning the business from my father. I will work with you 1-1 and have over 14 years of experience on over 250 projects to offer to your patronage and design. Our focus is excavating with grading, stone gravel, exterior drain & pipe replacement, driveway work, house footings, and grading work. I specialize in waterproofing basements and will take those projects on a case by case basis. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and I am born and raised here in West Virginia with lots of contacts for your to consult with if needed. I look forward to planning work on your home and do free estimates on any jobs on any projects with agreement or deposit!

"We had a leak in our half basement when it would rain and we have been dealing with it for years. We looked all over trying to find someone to help for a reasonable price, but all I got was people gouging the prices and giving me ridiculous quotes. Bradley reached out to me mere moments after I signed up for Angi to find a specialist and he came down to take a look at my situation that very same day. He lives more than an hour away but he came anyway. He gave me the lowest quote and scheduled me up for less than a week to get started and took him only two days to finish. The work is immaculate. I will definitely be using his services in the future and anyone else would be a fool not to do the same. Thank you so much for your help."

FAQs for excavation projects in Chesapeake, OH

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
