No. Backwell is a commercial site-work contractor, not a plumbing drain cleaner. We do not snake sewers or clear sink backups. If the problem needs excavation, grading, catch basins, asphalt, or concrete restoration, that is our lane.
Yes. Send the address, photos if you have them, and what happens when it rains. You get a free site review and a written scope with a number you can plan against. No obligation.
Local soils, local stormwater rules, local crew.
Ovid sits on the central plateau between Seneca and Cayuga lakes in Seneca County, on the narrow ridge of terrain that divides the two Finger Lakes watersheds. Soils across the village and surrounding agricultural-to-commercial parcels are predominantly Ovid silt loam - the series named for the town - along with Honeoye silt loam on the better-drained till, Lansing silt loam on the middle slopes, and Lima silt loam on the lower ground.
Drainage falls to both sides of the ridge through short, steep tributaries feeding Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake respectively. Commercial site work in Ovid regularly involves managing fragipan-restricted subsurface drainage across essentially all of the silt loam uplands, slope stability on the steeper western and eastern flanks of the ridge, and stormwater design that has to satisfy Finger Lakes watershed protection standards for either receiving lake. Shallow shale bedrock can appear on the highest ridge sections. Frost depth is moderate given the lake-moderated microclimate. Projects along Route 96 that climb toward Willard and toward Lodi routinely require rock excavation and slope stability engineering on the steeper ridge flanks.
Equipment crews mobilize across Onondaga, Oswego, Oneida, Madison, Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne, and Cortland counties.
