Hukill's is an excavation contractor serving Medford and the Rogue Valley, across Jackson and Josephine Counties. We dig trenches for water and sewer lines and other underground utilities, and we prepare sites for septic tanks. Asphalt cutting and general demolition are part of the work too. Our excavators and backhoes do the digging, and our dump trucks haul away what comes out.
Many excavation jobs start with plumbing, such as a broken sewer line or a new water line. Our plumbers and our excavation crews work for the same company, so one call covers both. That is how a sewer line replacement runs with us. On an open-trench job, our crews dig and backfill the trench, and our plumbers replace the pipe.
Tell us about the clog, leak, septic tank, water damage or remodel and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Many of our excavation services start with a trench. Some trenches carry a new line, and some open the ground over a broken one. When a line runs under a paved drive or a parking lot, we cut the asphalt and remove it first.
Septic site preparation is the dig before a new tank or system goes in. For a new system in Jackson or Josephine County, a DEQ specialist first checks soil test pits on the property. We prepare the site and set the tank, and we replace old tanks too. Pumping and repairs on a working system fall under our septic services.
Directional drilling runs a line under a driveway or a lawn without an open trench. It fits a water line or a utility line that has to cross pavement. On open-trench work, the job ends with backfill and site restoration.
Oregon law says anyone planning to dig must notify the Oregon Utility Notification Center first. The notice goes in at least two business days ahead, and no more than 10. The center takes requests through 811, and we coordinate that locate on our jobs.
Each utility then marks its own buried lines. Every mark gets a tolerance zone of 24 inches on each side. The center's homeowner guide says to keep power equipment out of that zone.
Some digs also need a permit. In Oregon, new or replaced underground water and sewer pipe needs a plumbing permit. In Medford, work in a city street also takes a Public Works right-of-way permit. Your city or county answers the rest for your address, and we point you to the right office.
The ground changes across the valley, and so does the dig. Federal soil surveys describe Jackson County clays that crack open each summer and close up in winter. Wet clay is heavy and sticky in the bucket, and dry clay digs hard.
White City sits on the Agate Desert, north of Medford. Federal soil maps show nearly all its ground as Agate and Winlo soils over a hardpan, a cemented layer. That layer lies 20 to 30 inches down in Agate soils and closer to the surface in the low spots. It digs much harder than the soil above it.
NOAA's 30-year averages put Medford at about 18 inches of rain a year. About two thirds of it falls from November through March. The most common soil in Grants Pass has a water table 1 to 3 feet down from November to June. We plan each dig around the soil and the season.

Got our water heater changed out this evening and the whole process was smooth. From setting up an appointment, communication, and the service. Marcos our technician that installed the water heater was great and made sure we got everything we needed in a timely manner. Recommend hukills to anyone looking for a quick or detailed repair!
Brandon and Colton did an outstanding job fixing our clogged sinks. They arrived within three hours of our call, were professional and courteous, and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. They explained everything clearly and left the work area clean when they were finished. We really appreciated their prompt response and excellent service. I highly recommend Hukill's to anyone looking for reliable, efficient plumbers.
After we had our septic tank pumped by Tristan this morning and then Brandon,Kayden and "G" the excavator operator came out to do an septic line investigation. I was very appreciative of them explaining and answering all my questions. I would definitely request them to help us again. Thank you all for all your hard work.
