Excavation Contractors in Penn Hills, PA

Excavation contractors in Penn Hills work across 19 square miles of land and 24 neighborhoods, including Blackridge, Churchill Valley, Lincoln Park, North Bessemer and Verona Hilltop. The municipality peaked at 62,886 residents in 1970 and had 41,059 in 2020. With 20,355 housing units counted in 2010, there is a large stock of older homes needing laterals, drainage and repairs.

Creeks on the borders

Plum Creek flows through the municipality, forms the border with Plum Borough and empties into the Allegheny River. Thompson Run begins near Linton Middle School, forms the border with Monroeville and flows toward the Monongahela. Lots near either creek can have high groundwater and floodplain rules.

Older homes, fewer people

A population drop of about a third since 1970 means some vacant or aging houses, and some owners choosing to tear down detached garages, sheds or entire structures. We handle demolition, hauling and site restoration.

Roads

I-376 runs through the southernmost part, and PA 791 (Rodi Road) connects Frankstown Road with I-376. Those state routes carry heavy traffic that affects hauling schedules.

Neighborhood variety

Penn Hills' 24 neighborhoods include older areas close to Verona and the Allegheny River and newer subdivisions farther out. Churchill Valley lots tend to be larger and wooded; Lincoln Park and North Bessemer have smaller, older homes. The work changes accordingly, from laterals and teardowns to clearing and grading.

Slopes toward the creeks

Land falls toward Plum Creek in the north and Thompson Run in the south. Runoff concentrates in those valleys during storms. Drainage plans aim to slow and spread water on your lot rather than sending a concentrated flow downhill.
