Excavation & Underground Utilities in Franklin Borough, NJ

In Franklin Borough, a lot of our work is drainage and grading
Franklin Borough sits in the Wallkill River side of Sussex County, where the water table runs high and low ground floods after a hard rain. Towns along this watershed have a long, documented history of flooding. That is why a good chunk of what we do here is drainage and grading.
When a yard will not drain, a basement keeps taking water, or a lot floods every spring, that is our wheelhouse: French drains, regrading, swales, and moving water away from the house for good. That is a big part of what we do here, but it is far from the only thing. We still handle sewer and water lines, septic, grading, driveways, and emergency digs across town.

Sussex County is lake country and rolling farmland, and plenty of homes out here run on well and septic with older service lines. This is our own backyard, so we know the rocky ground, the frost depth, and the lake-community setups better than most.
In a built-up borough like Franklin Borough, most of our work is sewer and water lines, underground utilities, and excavation in tighter spots. Whether it is an emergency sewer or water line dig-out, a septic system, a lot that will not drain, or a new driveway, we bring our own equipment and an operator who knows the ground in this part of Sussex County. We show up when we say we will, and we leave your property graded and clean.
