"Communication with B and K / Hoffman Excavating was excellent from the beginning. The contact person was Jeremy- he was focused, friendly and professional as I explained the project and my goals for completing it. The discussion was straightforward and constructive- then the agreed scope of the project was clearly listed in the contract. That transparency was unlike other contracts presented to us in our search for a professional. Many of those were so vague that we couldn't sign them. Jeremy worked with all groups needing to issue permits for the work to be done, including the HOA for the gated community where the project would be done. Once the physical work started, they remained in daily contact, supplying pictures and videos since we couldn't be there to see progress. Changes were only made after we both understood and agreed. Upon completion, the workers did a FaceTime video so I was comfortable submitting final payment, I don't have a single complaint! I would hire them again."

"We needed it done quickly. Brock drove from Buckannon area to Bridgeport area on a Saturday morning. He drove his excavator 2/10the of a mile up a narrow drive that was solid ice. He got the job done, site cleaned up and his price was very reasonable. I would recommend him without hesitation. Integrity and responsive to our needs. Good outfit."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prioritize drainage grading and french drain installation to protect your home from Morgantown's hilly terrain and moisture-retaining clay soils. Consider foundation perimeter excavation to inspect and waterproof older basements. Always arrange a sewer lateral inspection to check aging infrastructure. Contact West Virginia 811 before starting any project to mark utility lines and keep your property safe during all excavating tasks.

Helpful?

Persistent water in your basement or a soggy yard indicates you need excavating for exterior drainage or a french drain. Sinking driveways and leaning retaining walls signal underground erosion or soil pressure buildup that surface repairs cannot fix. Always hire a professional to perform a camera inspection for slow drains. Remember to contact WV 811 before starting any digging on your property.

Helpful?

Proper excavating creates dry basements by directing hillside water flow away from your foundation. Grading steep lots provides level, usable yard space and significantly reduces landslide risks in the Appalachian foothills. Upgrading aging sewer lines prevents sewage backups in older Morgantown neighborhoods. Regrading your site also manages stormwater effectively, which protects your property from localized flooding near the Monongahela River.

Helpful?

Schedule an annual spring drainage inspection to clear sediment buildup after heavy rains and snowmelt. Monitor graded soil, drainage pipes, and retaining walls for shifting or cracking after harsh WV freeze-thaw cycles. Maintain erosion control measures like seeding and silt fencing on sloped areas. Check your sump pumps regularly and inspect trenches for intrusive tree roots to ensure your excavating improvements function perfectly.

Helpful?

General contractors handle site grading and land clearing for sloped lots across Morgantown. Foundation contractors specialize in digging around older homes for waterproofing. Utility contractors manage water, sewer, and gas line trenches. For properties in rural Monongalia County, septic system contractors manage waste systems. Geotechnical engineers and erosion control specialists assess landslide risks and manage stormwater runoff before excavating begins in West Virginia.
