Excavation Contractors in Scott Township, PA

Excavation contractors in Scott Township work in a compact suburb of about 4 square miles bordering the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of East Carnegie and Banksville. A short segment of Chartiers Creek separates Scott from Rosslyn Farms. The 2020 census counted 17,649 residents, up 3.7 percent from 2010, after a 1970 peak of 21,856.

Density and access

In 2010 Scott had about 4,281 people per square mile, and the 2000 census counted 8,163 housing units. Small lots and close neighbors mean compact equipment, careful truck staging and attention to shared slopes and walls.

Aging homes

The population peak in 1970 tells you when much of the housing was built. Those homes are now old enough for lateral replacement, foundation drainage and new patios or garages.

Close quarters

With around 4,300 people per square mile, most Scott lots are small and closely spaced, often on slopes. We use mini excavators, keep spoil off neighbors' property and plan truck staging so streets stay open.

Chartiers Creek edge

The township's northwest edge along Chartiers Creek has low ground with floodplain limits. Higher neighborhoods drain toward the creek and toward the city's Banksville area. Drainage designs consider where your water ends up.

Retaining walls

Many Scott homes have block or stone walls holding back slopes in the yard. When one fails, we excavate behind it, add drainage stone and pipe, and backfill for the new wall.

Postwar housing

The township's 1970 peak of nearly 22,000 residents reflects how much housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s. Laterals and drainage from that period are due for replacement.
