Excavation & Septic Services You Can Rely On in Perry County and Beyond

At Spohn Excavating Inc., we help homeowners, farmers, and builders across southeast and central Ohio tackle the kind of projects that start from the ground up. From digging a new basement or pond to installing a dependable septic system, our team is focused on one thing: doing the work right, safely, and with respect for your property.

Based in Junction City in Perry County, we serve communities across Perry, Muskingum, Licking, Morgan, Athens, Hocking, Fairfield, Meigs, Pickaway, and the southeast corner of Franklin County. Whether you need a simple trench dug or a full site prepared for a new home or commercial building, you can count on our experience, equipment, and steady approach to get the job done.

Family-owned and operated since 1998, Spohn Excavating Inc. was built by owner and operator Tom Spohn, who grew up working on the farm and learning how to move earth the right way. Today, Tom and his crews bring that same work ethic to every job site.

Local Excavation Services

Excavation is more than just moving dirt. Done well, it sets up every part of your project to go smoothly in the future. Poor excavation can create headaches like drainage problems, shifting foundations, or access issues for years to come. That is why our crews treat each job with the same care, whether it is a small residential project or a large commercial site.

At Spohn Excavating Inc., we provide a full range of excavation services, including:

  • Commercial & Residential excavation and reconstruction

  • Basement excavation for new homes and additions

  • Swimming pool excavation

  • Small and large pond excavation

  • Site development for homes, shops, barns, and commercial buildings

  • Grading and lot clearing

  • Related sewer line work and sewer repairs

  • Drainage systems and French drains that help protect the system and your yard

  • Full site preparation for new construction

  • Trenching and utilities trenching

  • Dozer works for reshaping and smoothing the ground

Our crews operate modern excavators, dozers, backhoes, loaders, and trucks that are maintained and ready for demanding work. With two experienced crews that can operate separately or combine into one larger team, we are equipped to handle tight residential lots, farm projects, and larger commercial sites with the same level of care and precision.

When you contact us, we look at your site, talk through your goals, and help you understand what will be required. Proper planning at the excavation stage can save you time and frustration later in the build.

Septic System Services

A septic system is not something you want to guess about. It needs to be sized correctly, set at the right depth, installed in suitable soil, and built according to local regulations. That is where our experience really matters.

Spohn Excavating Inc. offers complete septic system services, including:

  • Septic tank and system excavation and installation

  • Traditional septic systems

  • Aerobic septic systems

  • Plastic and poly septic tanks

  • Concrete septic tanks

  • Drain field installation and drain field replacement

We handle the excavation work as well as the coordination needed to install a system that will serve your property for years. From gravity systems to more advanced aerobic units, our team understands how to match the design to the site conditions.

If you are replacing a failed system, we can assess what went wrong and design a replacement that improves performance and reliability. If you are building a new home, we work with you and your other contractors so the septic system is installed at the right time and in the right place, with proper access and slope.

Our goal is simple: a septic system that works quietly in the background so you can focus on living your life.

Demolition, Land Clearing, and Site Development

In addition to excavation and septic work, we provide a range of services that help you transform a piece of ground into a usable homesite, farmstead, or commercial property.

Our additional services include:

  • Demolition of smaller sheds, barns, mobile homes, and single-family homes

  • Demolition of larger structures, such as strip malls and commercial buildings

  • Land clearing and brush removal

  • Bulldozing for shaping lots, lanes, and embankments

  • Removal and hauling of debris and unsuitable material

Site development often involves multiple steps. We can clear the land, manage demolition, rough in driveways, shape building pads, dig basements, install ponds, and prepare the site for utilities and septic. Having one contractor handle all of these phases keeps your project organized and reduces miscommunication between different crews.
