Excavation Contractors in Oakmont, PA

Excavation contractors in Oakmont work on two kinds of ground. The business district sits on relatively flat land near the Allegheny River, and the main residential area rises up a slope toward the country club and the Turnpike. Plum Creek flows through the borough. Oakmont covers 1.58 square miles of land and had 6,758 residents in 2020, up 7.2 percent from 2010.

Flat lots near the river

Near the river, groundwater and floodplain rules matter more than slopes. Drainage there focuses on getting roof and yard water to the storm system.

Hillside lots

On the slope, runoff from uphill lots and streets causes many wet basements. Curtain drains, swales and downspout lines are typical fixes.

Older homes

The 2000 census counted 3,269 housing units, and many homes date to the early 1900s. Laterals, old stone foundations and drainage are routine work. The Kerr Memorial Museum house dates to 1898.

Plum Creek

Plum Creek flows through Oakmont on its way to the Allegheny River. Lots near the creek deal with high water and floodplain rules; lots above it deal with slope runoff. Drainage plans account for both.

Historic main street

The Oaks Theater opened in 1938, and the borough's older commercial district sits on the flat ground near the river. Homes up the hill date from the same era and later.

Close to the Turnpike

The Pennsylvania Turnpike runs near the top of the residential slope. Heavy truck traffic and nearby state routes are part of how we plan hauling.
