Company History

The business grew out of hands-on trade experience. George Russell began operating heavy equipment at 17 and kept building skills through union and non-union work. Over 38 years, small jobs led to steady contracts with public utilities, plumbing crews, and local builders. That background shaped a firm that works on septic systems, grease trap tanks, water services, and site prep for buildings.

Leadership

Owner-operator George Russell runs field operations and estimates. His decades of experience in excavation and plumbing guide daily work decisions. George keeps a visible local presence and stays involved in project planning, which helps customers get clear answers and realistic timelines.
