Get matched with top excavation pros in Merrifield, VA

"Mario Alvarez knows his stuff! He acquired a flooring sample from a discrete location, shipped it off for testing immediately, and we received a prompt response. His company provided all the promised documentation we needed and now our flooring project is moving forward. We appreciate the peace of mind for a good value. Thanks, Mario, for taking care of us!"

"There was some confusion with respect to the address where the repair work was to be completed. As a result, the excavating team arrived at my primary residence well ahead of the scheduled time, and Miss Utility had marked out my property by mistake. I contacted Rachel at DB's to let them know there was a problem, and that hopefully they would still be able to complete the work at the correct address that day. Within 35 to 40 minutes, the problem had been resolved and the crew was on-site at the rental property and starting the work. Thankfully, the pipe was not quite as deep as previously thought so excavation was much easier and the work was completed quickly and efficiently. DB's reduced the cost for the work from the original estimate as some of the issues they had estimated and planned for did not materialize. Shane and his crew were very professional and knowledgeable, and they left the yard in excellent condition where the excavation had been done. While their price was a bit higher than I had expected, their responsiveness and professionalism were much appreciated and I would consider using them again for my plumbing needs."

"Great job! We had one company back out on us and when we inquired at Home Advisor Old Dominion came to the top. Within 15 minutes I had a proposal from Andrew, and after checking references we were set to go. The crew arrived on time, prepared to remove the tank, and like "magic" it was gone. They kept the area clean and neat. ODE did a marvelous job and I would recommend them."

"The work was performed professionally and below budget! The worker was very clean and left the site the way he found it. Definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"We are very happy with the end result. They even brought fresh sod to cover the area next to the walkway that had to be excavated a bit wider then its actual width."

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."

"A&E looked at my site, and suggested no excavation was needed. I appreciate their honest assessment."

"The job went great. Professional outfit. Willard seems to have a great relationship with the DEQ which makes cleaning up environmental issues go much easier.
