Charlottesville is on public water and sewer, so the work here looks different from what we do out in the county. It's less septic and more everything else.

Old laterals under old trees

The sewer and water laterals running from the street to the house in the older neighborhoods have been in the ground a long time, under trees that have been there just as long. When one of those fails, the repair is an excavation job in a small yard between two other houses, and the part that matters is putting the yard back afterward.

We also do basement and footer excavation for builders here, foundation drainage on houses that never had any, and commercial site work and concrete flatwork.

Albemarle County septic permits

Any new septic system or drain field replacement in Albemarle County needs a permit and a soil evaluation through the Virginia Department of Health. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
