Excavation in Johnson City: questions

How much does excavation cost in Johnson City?

Excavation in Johnson City is quoted by the job or the machine day, not off a price list. A small residential dig commonly lands between $1,500 and $5,000; what moves it is access, how far the spoil has to travel, whether you hit rock, and what the TN permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 8 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Which Johnson City contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Johnson City listing carries septic installation. That is installers, not tank pumpers: we drop the pump-and-haul outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. Septic work is permitted and usually needs a perc test before anyone digs, so start that conversation well before you want the machine on site.

Which excavation contractor in Johnson City is rated highest?

Kraken Junk Removal is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Johnson City list, at 5.0 stars from 194 Google reviews. Of the 8 contractors working Johnson City, 5 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.7).
