Plan the work around the property.

Site conditions shape an excavation project. Spencer’s excavation and grading services include underground pipe access, sewer-line replacement, grading, and site preparation. You can also discuss access around foundations and drainage-related site work.

Before a project proceeds, the team needs to review the location, access for equipment, the proposed depth and area of work, and how the site will be left afterward. Ask which restoration tasks are included in the written scope and which may need separate arrangements.

For damaged sewer or water lines, inspection findings help determine whether open excavation is required or a less invasive method may be suitable. For grading and other site work, call to discuss your project and confirm the available service.

Workmanship we stand behind.

Our lifetime workmanship warranty is our commitment to the quality of our work. Workmanship coverage concerns how the work was done; it is different from a manufacturer’s equipment or parts warranty. We explain the written terms that apply to your proposed work.

Know what is covered before you choose. Coverage depends on the equipment, installation, and type of work. Ask us about covered parts and labor, exclusions, and any inspection or maintenance requirements. We review the applicable terms with your proposal.

We were overdue for serving our gas boiler and I had already someone come out to clean it who indicated that the system would likely need to be replaced bc the carbon monoxide level was higher than the normal range. I reached out Spencer Home Services (the owner himself also called to check in bc I’d mentioned the high levels when I’d booked the apt). Their tech Pasquale, aka Pat, was amazing, he shared the same concern about the numbers from the previous inspection though unlike the other company’s tech, he did a comprehensive diagnostic and found that the exhaust was full of debris which was casing it to not function correctly. He cleaned everything out and checked the levels again, all in normal range. We have a new HVAC company as of today. We appreciate the timelines and the honesty, thank you Pasquale and Spencer!

There is a leak that needed diagnosed. Molly came out promptly, removed material that necessary to find the source of the leak. She showed where the leak was, cleaned up well and was ve t y pleasant. She then provided a written estimate of the cost to repair the problem.

Excavation questions, answered

What kinds of excavation work can I discuss with Spencer?

The existing excavation service covers sewer-line access and replacement, grading, site preparation, and foundation-related access. Call with the location and a description of the work so the team can confirm the scope.

Does every damaged sewer line need excavation?

No. Pipe condition and access determine the options. A line may be suitable for a trenchless approach, while other damage requires excavation and replacement.

What affects the cost of excavation?

The area and depth of work, site access, existing underground conditions, the repair itself, and restoration requirements all affect the scope. We discuss the proposed work before you approve it.

How will my yard be left afterward?

Ask the team to describe backfill, grading, and restoration in the written proposal. The included work depends on the project; do not assume every surface finish is part of the same scope.

Can you give me a timeline before work starts?

The team can discuss the expected sequence after reviewing the site and scope. Weather, access, inspections, and conditions found on site can affect the schedule.

Is excavation available in my town?

Use the map to review Spencer’s general service area, then call to confirm excavation availability and site access for your particular project. The map does not create an excavation booking or guarantee availability.
