Excavation Contractors in Hampton Township, PA

Excavation contractors in Hampton Township work on a 16-square-mile North Hills township with 18,470 residents in 2020. Hampton was created in 1861 from parts of McCandless, Indiana and West Deer townships. Its largest jumps in population came in the 1920s (93.8 percent) and 1940s (81.5 percent). Growth has slowed to under 1 percent in the last decade, which means most of our work improves existing homes.

Larger households

The 2000 census counted 6,627 housing units and an average household size of 2.76, larger than many nearby towns. Families add pools, patios, play areas and garages, and the grading and drainage that goes with them.

Oak Hill Farms and Route 8

John McCaslin acquired the land known as Oak Hill Farms in 1794, near today's junction of Route 8 and Mt. Royal Boulevard. Route 8 is a state route; driveway and drainage changes on it need PennDOT approval.

Typical lots

Hampton's neighborhoods are mostly single-family homes on suburban lots, many built in the postwar decades. Typical requests are in-ground pools, patios with grading around them, garage pads, and drainage for homes where water has started to reach the basement.

Bordering townships

Hampton borders Richland, West Deer, Indiana, Shaler and McCandless townships. Many lots near the borders drain into neighboring municipalities, so drainage outlets are planned with both sets of rules in mind.

Older laterals

Homes built in the 1940s and 1950s growth period often have laterals of clay or early materials that roots have damaged. Replacement starts with a camera inspection and ends with a trench from the house to the connection.
