At Excavation Contractors LLC, we have been on the frontlines helping homeowners take back control of their properties—but the weather has made it tough for everyone. With jobs delayed due to rain and the ground needing 2–3 days to dry out before we can safely work, we have been playing catch-up for weeks. And every time we get close, another storm rolls in.
How Record Rainfall Impacts Your Property
This year’s historic rainfall hasn’t just been inconvenient—it has been destructive:
Why Now Is the Time to Take Action
We are getting a lot of calls from homeowners only after the damage becomes serious. But right now is the best time to evaluate and plan—even if the work can’t happen immediately.
Here is what we are doing with customers:
- Reviewing videos and photos taken during storms
- Mapping water flow and identifying problem areas
- Creating custom drainage and grading plans
- Getting folks on the schedule so they are first up when the weather breaks
Simple Fixes That Make a Big Difference
You don’t always need an expensive fix—some of the most effective solutions are:
What You Can Do Right Now
- Take a video during or after the rain
- Walk your yard—look for soft spots, erosion, or pooling water
- Check if water is draining away from your foundation
- Send us what you’re seeing—we’ll help you make a plan
We are Here—Even When the Ground is Too Wet to Work
We are backed up right now—but we are still taking on new projects and getting homeowners lined up. Once it is dry, we are hitting the ground hard to catch up. Serving Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill & surrounding areas
