Pittsburgh Excavation is owned by two civil engineers. According to their website, they offer the…read morefollowing services: excavation, pools, concrete, French drains, retaining walls, demolition, tree removal, and repairing landslides. In April, I contacted Pittsburgh Excavation to ask if they could provide an estimate for French drains for my back and side yards. Within several minutes--fast!--Bryan responded to my email. Bryan explained that my current HydroBlox drains do not work well in clay soil, so he recommended traditional French drains. A few days later, Bryan visited my house to provide an in-person estimate. He was very thorough and polite in answering my questions. I appreciated his recommendations about the number, width, depth, and location of drains in my yard. After another few days, Bryan emailed me a written estimate, and he answered my additional questions via email. In the end, I decided to hire a different company that had slightly different ideas and a slightly lower price. I, however, wanted to write a review for Pittsburgh Excavation to thank them for their prompt and friendly communication and their brainstorming for solutions for my problems. If you are seeking any of the services that they offer, then I recommend that you contact them for an estimate.

I originally posted the following review about a month ago. After I posted it, I was contacted by…read morethe company begging me to remove my review and they would work with me to solve my problem. Against my better judgement, as well as Yelp itself telling me I should not remove the review, I went ahead and removed it. Well, no solution to my problem was ever presented and the issue(s) listed below still remain. No matter what happens from this point forward, I will not remove this review again! Below is my original review. I've thought long and hard about writing this review. This winter I had my main drain clog about 2 days before the big snowfall, during that vicious cold snap we had. Once the snow was finished and my crawl space was able to be accessed, I called Kaleb as I'm also a veteran. He came and tried to snake it, to no avail. He also commented that my crawl space was the cleanest he has seen. After not getting the main line opened with a snake, he said the only option is to "hydrojet" my line and that would free up any clog I had. He also said that he would knock off the $100 I paid for the snake from the $550 charge for the hydrojet. Well, the hydrojet didn't work and, in fact, made matters worse as all that water (and everything that was in my pipes) went all over my crawl space, which now has a terrible odor. He made no attempt to clean up the mess he made and it cost me a total of $550 to not have the problem solved and my house smell like shit! I'm sorry, but I expected more from one veteran to another. I guess now that the weather is getting nice, I'll have to pressure wash my crawl space myself. Not an easy task, being a couple months shy of 74 and not in the best of health! In short, I hate to say this about a fellow vet, but I do not recommend this company!

Holten came out and I explained what was going on with the basement bathroom. We walked around talking about different way to figure out what was causing the smell and he "I'm going to just walk around and check things out" within 1 minute he yelled out "found it". Under the sink in the bathroom and vent check valve was missing. The contractor plumber never installed it when the house was built 2 years ago. He said he could fix it right now and gave a very reasonable price. I said go ahead and within 30 minutes he had fixed a problem I had been dealing with for the last two years. He was very knowledgeable and even found a pipe that was not glued when he was installing the valve and fixed that as well I would highly recommend this business for their expertise and value for what they do. I added them in my phone as the first business to call for my plumbing needs.
