Services & Process

H&R's excavation capabilities are central to their septic work, giving them the equipment to properly open, access, and backfill septic system components without damaging surrounding hardscape or landscaping. Their masonry and concrete skills come into play when tank lids, risers, or access components need repair or replacement. On the septic side, they handle system installations, inspections, and drain field work. Property owners dealing with both paving and septic needs can coordinate both projects with a single contractor, reducing scheduling headaches.

Service Area

H&R Paving And Excavation works throughout the West Kingston area and broader South County, including South Kingstown, Narragansett, Richmond, and Charlestown. Their location in the heart of South County puts them close to both coastal properties and the more inland rural areas of Washington County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair pavement or concrete that was disturbed during septic work?
Yes, contractors like H&R who handle both excavation and masonry can restore driveways, walkways, or concrete surfaces disturbed during septic repairs. This saves you from hiring a second contractor just for the surface restoration.
Are there special septic rules for properties near South County ponds or the coast?
Yes, Rhode Island DEM enforces stricter setback and treatment requirements for systems near coastal features, freshwater ponds, and wetlands. Properties in South Kingstown and surrounding towns often fall into these protected zones.
How deep is a typical septic tank buried in Rhode Island?
Most tanks are buried one to three feet below grade, though depth varies based on the property and original installation. A contractor with proper excavation equipment can locate and safely access tanks at any typical depth.
What is a septic riser and do I need one?
A riser is a vertical pipe that extends from the tank lid up to ground level, making future pumping and inspections much easier. If your tank requires digging each time it's serviced, installing a riser can save money on future service calls.
How do I maintain my septic system near the University of Rhode Island area?
Properties near URI often deal with higher occupancy levels, especially rentals, which means tanks fill faster than average. More frequent pumping, typically every two to three years, helps prevent overloading the system.
What causes a drain field to fail?
The most common causes are solids overflowing from an overfull tank into the drain field, root intrusion from nearby trees, soil compaction from heavy vehicles or equipment driving over the field, and simply age. Keeping up with tank pumping is the best way to extend drain field life.
