How they compare with the other picks
Short answer: Most excavation calls out here are really septic calls, and the soil decides the price: clay and a high water table push a property to a raised bed or a tertiary system, which is the difference between the low and high end of the table below. Ken H Brown has an address inside the village but publishes nothing itself, so phone to confirm scope. Ottawa Septic Systems is licensed, insured, WSIB covered and an OOWA member. Dave Wright has operated out of Kars since 1970 and carries the widest range of equipment.

A comparison of the three businesses this site would call first, on facts each publishes about itself — not a ranking of every excavation contractor serving K4M, and not a rating. "What sets them apart" is our opinion, formed from the criteria we publish. No business has paid for a place in this table, and payment would not change it. Confirm licence and insurance directly before you hire.
