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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
