Our Story

Behm Enterprises, Inc. was founded by Bob Behm in 1992. With more than 35 years of experience in the excavation industry, Bob brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every job. Bob began his career in 1985, working as a laborer and operating heavy equipment for an excavation and sewer & water contractor.

In time, Bob established Behm Enterprises, Inc. and primarily focused on foundation excavation and grading for new homes and room additions. This eventually led to additional services, such as connecting sewer and water services to homes and small commercial installation work.

In 2013, Behm Enterprises, Inc. began offering trenchless sewer and water installations, allowing them to install services with minimal disruption to existing surfaces and even below the street without digging up the pavement.

As the housing market slowed in 2008, Behm Enterprises, Inc. expanded into sewer and water repair work and storm sewer drainage systems to solve flooding issues. In 2021, they purchased a hydro-jetting machine to clear blockages and debris from existing sewer lines.
