Foundation Excavation
Foundation excavation is the first job on any new home, addition or garage. We dig the hole to the depth on your plans, keep the floor of the excavation level and flat, and set aside topsoil for the finish grade. The excavation work is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Waterproofing Excavation
Waterproofing excavation means digging down the outside of your basement wall so a leak can be fixed from the outside, where the water gets in. We dig to the footing, expose the wall and replace the weeping tile, then backfill with clear stone. Every excavation is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer line replacement means digging out the old pipe that carries wastewater from your house to the City sewer and laying a new one. In Windsor that pipe belongs to the homeowner all the way to the main. We dig, lay new pipe on a stone bed at the right slope and restore the ground. The excavation is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Water Line Replacement
Water line replacement means digging out the pipe that brings drinking water from the City's water stop at your property line into your house, and laying a new one. We dig the trench, lay new pipe below the frost line and make the connection ready for the plumber. We carry full insurance on every excavation.
How it works and what it costs -
Weeping Tile Replacement
Weeping tile replacement means digging down beside your foundation to the footing, taking out the old drain pipe and laying new perforated pipe in clear stone. The new weeping tile carries water away before it can build up against the basement wall. All of this excavation work is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
French Drain Installation
A French drain is a trench filled with clear stone and perforated pipe that carries water away from a wet area of the yard. We dig the trench at a steady slope, line it with filter fabric, lay the pipe in stone and finish the top with stone or sod. Our drain excavation work is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Lot Grading And Site Prep
Lot grading means shaping the ground so rain and snowmelt run away from your foundation. We cut down high spots, fill low spots and slope the soil away from the walls with a laser level, then finish it ready for sod or seed. Our lot grading and excavation work is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Trenching
Trenching is digging a long, narrow trench to bury a line, such as hydro to a garage, a gas line to a barbecue or heater, a water line to a barn or irrigation across a lawn. We do the trenching to the depth the line needs, keep it straight and backfill it neatly. Every trenching and excavation job is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Driveway Excavation
Driveway excavation means digging out an old driveway, or a new one, down past the soft soil, and building a packed gravel base for asphalt, concrete or pavers. A good base keeps a driveway from cracking, sinking or heaving. All driveway excavation is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Lot Clearing
Lot clearing means removing brush, small trees, stumps, old fences and debris so a piece of land is ready to build on or use. We clear the area with a machine, haul away what you do not want and leave the ground rough-graded. Our lot clearing and excavation work is fully insured.
How it works and what it costs -
Demolition And Concrete Removal
Demolition means taking down an old structure and hauling it away, and a careful demolition protects the yard around it. Our demolition work covers detached garages, sheds, decks, pools and old concrete slabs, driveways and walkways, and we clean up the site and leave the ground ready for what comes next. Every demolition job is fully insured, and so is the excavation that follows it.
