I just finished up a three-phase septic/D-box project with Davis Excavating. The first part involved pulling the lid of the septic tank, pulling a root mass, sealing the lid/tank joint and backfilling. The second part was replacement of the D-box and a portion of the manifold. This work was perfectly executed. Then came the tricky part. Significant root intrusion had occurred downstream, at the manifold/infiltrator connections. Only four of the five lines were taking effluent. We field-engineered a new connection strategy for the uppermost infiltrator run which gave us two active lines and most importantly bought time. I engineered a new connection scheme using old and new infiltrator chambers. Raul advised me on how to work with the County to modify the permit. Raul then came back to the site, excavated the old chambers, fit the new and made the manifold connections. Then backfilled and graded to landscaping standards. Outcomes like this are only possible when you are working with a top-line professional. On top of this, the pricing was very fair. Surprises from septic systems are never fun, but when you have a resource like Davis Excavating, you can tackle the problem knowing you are going to get the best result. Robert Weber, P.E. read more

Raul of Davis Excavating is the excavating contractor chosen by West Coast Concrete to prep an area in my backyard for concrete. I cannot adequately praise the quality of the work done by Raul and feel very fortunate that West Coast Concrete has such a skilled excavator that they can call upon for excavation work. In my opinion, his cost was also quite reasonable. I highly recommend Davis Excavating if you have a project that needs a highly skilled and precise excavator. Thank you Raul.

I originally wrote this review but I took it down b/c they asked me to after coming back out and fixing some things they did not do right when they installed risers on my septic tank. I never write reviews online but I am so pissed that I have to waste my time, on top of the money I spent on these people, to get these risers installed my septic tank correctly and this is a matter that should be seriously taken and I want others to know so I am re-writing this. Before anything, I highly recommend just doing it your self by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rS6vY7pVN0. If you don't want to waste the time locating and digging up the lids (most time consuming part), then have these guys or someone else dig them up for you. Then, install the risers yourself (the video above will tell you where you can order the supplies). The issues I had: 1. They don't install the yellow safety lid to catch anyone or any animal from falling into the tank if they somehow happen to un-screw and open the top riser lid even though the company , Tuf-Tite that these people bought the risers from, sells the yellow safety lid (the video above explains this). This is a very important step, especially if the original concrete lids are removed like in my case (the original concrete lids will be removed if they can't fit within the risers). 2. They don't install the 6 secure screws that go on each lid trough the top. They only install the 2 safety screws that go directly into the riser from the side and thus the lid is not 100% secured down. 3. I wasn't going to say anything and I am just going to fix the above issues myself but they installed the riser lids in the wrong position where I can't add the 6 secure screws on each lid and if I rotated the lid into the correct position so I can add the secure screws, then new holes would have to be made for the safety screws and the old ones would remain and thus gasses could leak out. HOWEVER, THEY DID COME BACK OUT AND FIXED THE POSITION OF THE LIDS AND SEALED THE OLD HOLES so I can fix the issues mentioned above. 4. Also, they ended up charging me more b/c they forget the risers and spent at least an hour, maybe 2, grabbing them. I also could have researched this prior and prevented these issues from happening so like I said, this is information for others. read more

This is my first ever review of a company. I figure if i am going to bad mouth a company to friends I should also give praise where due. I called Davis excavating they were actually able to come the same day, due to a job that got rained out. I know same day service is the exception not the norm. Raul was able to find the problem in my leach field within an hour. His wife Sarah applied for the permit to fix the problem the next day. Within a week my septic and leach field was fixed. Not only had Raul fixed it but discovered another problem and fixed that problem. Everything was done at a fair price. I would without hesitation highly recommend Davis Excavation. F.

We had flooding problems in our backyard, Raul and his guys came out, gave us a quote and scheduled the work order. They were very professional, cleaned up before they left each day. The guys doing the work were very knowledgeable, about what they were doing. Took the time to explain everything and how they were doing it. The quote they gave us, is exactly what we paid. No hidden extra fees, like some companies do. I highly recommend Raul and his guys. Will definitely, use them again, if I need work done. read more
