They most certainly lived up to their advertising as a family-owned business that treats clients like family! Very professional, knowlegeable, understanding and flexible. Noteworthy commendation to William for his outstanding and ongoing assistance throughout the process. It was a truly a team effort. Thanks to Matt, Aaron, Caleb and the entire Wharff Excavating Team!

They done all this by hand, all super nice they inform and you call you. We had a service here last year, this guy come out , he knew what to do we did not have to worry. I was so hyper and my husband said to calm down.

They got with me to set up appointment pretty quick. They came out and explained was needed to be done for the couple cracks in my basement wall. They had on their masks and they took off shoes. They walked me through what they would do, I understood it. ( I did a little previous research) They sent me quote same day. Owner was explaining and another person took pictures. I called next day to set up date to complete work, they added me to the next week's calendar. They sent email a couple days later with an exact day and time. The person came out and completed the work. He seemed to be thorough. I also called back to ask a couple questions and someone called me right back. So far, I think they are a good company to use and if needed I would use again.

Very well. The crew was in and out in one day. This was back in Nov-Dec 2020. I'm submitting my review just now because I had not had an opportunity to determine whether it solved the problem until today, with the ground thawing and 8-10" of snow having melted. All signs are good . . . no water in the basement, not even any water emptying into my sump pump from the outside. And I can see that the water is draining out to our sloped front yard now, as expected. Nicely done, Wharff!

From start to finish, my experience with Wharff was outstanding. The quoting process was very easy and the costs were detailed. They over-communicated throughout the entire process and the crew of workers that were in and outside my home were as good as they get. Explained what they were doing, listened and worked very hard. We looked around at other companies but so very glad we went with Wharff. Highly recommended!

very well. They arrived on time, completed the work in 3 days, were polite and courteous. It rained last night and our basement did not get wet.
Description of Work
Water was getting into our basement, so we had Wharff Excavating install a drain pipe from the back yard to the street. They had to dig through our concrete driveway to install the pipe. They also changed the grade of the back yard so the water would flow through the drain pipe instead of our basement

Excellent experience in all ways. Matt's crew removed the old concrete, excavated down to solid ground, backfilled with crushed stone, and installed a new concrete slab. From estimate to completion, the work took less than a week, with the right equipment and a good team. The new drive is much better quality and the work was done per the estimate. I would definitely hire Wharff Excavating again.

Matt and William were quite thorough, surveying the inside and outside perimeter of my home, taking notes and explaining in detail the work that needed to be completed. Wharff was the most thorough of the businesses I contacted and clearly knew their stuff. Their proposal was comprehensive and reasonable. The workers arrived on time daily and each evening William gave me a call with an update of the day and what would happen next. When a problem arose with the unit not receiving power, they came out in a timely manner and resolved the matter. My only lament as they did not leave me the instruction booklet for the sump pump.

After reviewing listings on Angie's list and having a basement under water that another restoration company couldn't fix, I called Matt Wharf. He came out to review my situation and very quickly observed what needed to be done. The company provided a written estimate a day later and after approval, they were able to get the work going sooner than expected. Although the job was in the 5-figure range, they brought out 7-8 workers for four days to dig to the basement footers, retreat the walls with waterproofing and plastic sheeting, put in a double-wall perimeter drain surrounded by gravel, dig trenches along three walls in an interior room, and then add drainage tile to the sump pump. They reset the sump pit height and resurfaced the area where they dug the trenches with concrete. They installed hard-walled PVC piping to extend the drainage from 5 downspouts and buried the pipe underground so they'd drain into a ravine. The guys worked hard and long with heavy and muddy soil, cleaned up after themselves and regraded the backyard so water would stay away form the house. All-in-all the price was very fair given the extent of work they did.

They immediately assessed the problem and identified how to correct it. Thorough and professional job. Finished the area to return to landscape design. I had an estimate from another company and that proposal was completely wrong for my problem.

Wharff Excavating did a wonderful job. They came in almost $3000 cheaper than the first company I got a quote from and they did good work. Their customer service was excellent. I was incredibly nervous about such a major/expensive repair, but Lisa walked me through every step of the way by email. She answered all of my questions and made the changes I needed to the contract. They operate on good faith and make sure everything is put right in the end. They communicated clearly, charged fairly, and made every effort to do right by me. I would absolutely use them again and have recommended them to one neighbor already.

Wharff caused major damage to our irrigation system and instead of telling us at the time, chose to hide the issue by burying their mistakes underground. They told us that they had accidentally cut some of the electrical lines in the irrigation system and agreed to pay for that repair. Unfortunately, they failed to inform us that they had damaged hard lines (water pipes) as well. Now our irrigation system has major problems and we're looking at a $1000+ repair bill. Had they simply been honest with us at the time and pointed our their damage, we could have had it repaired by our irrigation company for a fraction of the cost. Now we have to dig up the yard and fix all of Wharff's mistakes. Accidents happen and the damage isn't the issue, it's the fact that Wharff didn't tell us about what they had done and now we're paying the price.

Unfortunately, there was an issue with the irrigation electrical lines, which we offered to have repaired, even though it clearly states in our contract that we are not responsible for private lines, such as irrigation and that the customer needs to make sure the lines get marked. Mr. [Member Name Removed] chose to have his own company do the repair and we agreed to have the amount he was charged deducted from the balance of what was owed to Wharff Excavating. That cost to repair was $875 and it was deducted from what Mr. [Member Name Removed] owed. Our crew did not hit any hard lines or water pipes or cause any other damage to his irrigation system. We take every precaution when working at someone's home to make sure there is no damage and if there is a mishap, we take responsibility. Mr. [Member Name Removed] contacted our office just yesterday regarding this and was told that it would be a day or so before we would have an answer regarding this situation but instead of waiting for the office to contact him back, he chose to put a bad review on Angie's List.12/10/2018

I'm so glad that I hired Wharff Excavating for this project. The crew was very prompt,worked hard and efficiently. My outside sump pump pipe broke, it was an old clay pipe so they replaced it with updated piping and moved it to correct the problem of water pooling in my yard. I am very satisfied with their work and will absolutely use them in the future!

I would like to thank you, Matt, and Wharff Excavating for your outstanding job in identifying and fixing my sump pump line, pump, and drainage hookup problem. Futhermore, your very speedy response to my call for help was greatly appreciated by me! Your plumbing and excavating teams were so polite, attentive to my concerns, experienced, and professional! Finally, your cost structure was most affordable. You can be sure I will rate you as Outstanding on Angie's List, and will be very glad to recommend Wharff Excavating.
