Residential excavation is often a critical component of larger projects, whether you're installing new utility lines, addressing drainage issues, preparing for a new addition, or dealing with foundation problems. Our team has the expertise to complete excavation work safely and efficiently while minimizing disruption to your property and daily life.
One of our primary excavation services involves digging for utility line installations and repairs. This includes excavation for water line installation and replacement, sewer line access and repair, gas line installation, electrical conduit burial, and septic system access. We work closely with plumbers, electricians, and other trades to ensure that excavation work is coordinated properly and completed to exact specifications.
Our operators understand the importance of precision when excavating around existing utility lines. We use modern locating equipment and follow all safety protocols to prevent damage to underground utilities. When working on your property, we dig carefully and methodically, ensuring that trenches are properly sized and graded for the utilities being installed.
If you're planning a home addition, new construction, or basement waterproofing, proper excavation is essential. Our foundation and basement excavation services include site preparation for new additions, basement excavation for new construction, foundation repair access, French drain installation, and foundation waterproofing preparation. We work with builders and contractors to ensure that excavation work meets engineering specifications and building codes.
Western Pennsylvania's soil conditions and terrain can present unique challenges for foundation work. Our experienced operators understand local conditions and know how to handle everything from clay soil to rocky terrain, ensuring that your foundation excavation is done correctly.
Proper drainage is essential for protecting your home's foundation and preventing water damage. Our drainage and grading services include yard grading to improve drainage, French drain installation, swale creation for water management, downspout drainage solutions, and erosion control measures. We assess your property's drainage needs and develop solutions that effectively manage water flow, protecting your home and landscape.
Many homes in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas were built on hillsides or in areas with challenging drainage. We specialize in creating effective drainage solutions that work with your property's natural topography while protecting structures and landscaping from water damage.
Excavation isn't just for utilities and foundations. We also provide excavation services for landscape and hardscape projects, including retaining wall installation, patio and walkway preparation, pond excavation, landscape feature installation, and driveway preparation. Our operators work with precision to create the proper base and grade for outdoor living spaces and landscape features.
Whether you're installing a new patio, building a retaining wall, or creating an outdoor living area, proper excavation and site preparation are crucial for long-term success. We ensure that all excavation work is done to proper specifications, providing a solid foundation for your landscape investment.
We follow a systematic approach to every excavation project. First, we conduct a thorough site assessment to understand the scope of work and identify any potential challenges. We coordinate with utility companies to mark underground lines and obtain necessary permits. Before excavation begins, we discuss access routes, work areas, and how we'll protect your property.
During excavation, our operators work methodically to achieve the required depth and dimensions while managing excavated material properly. We maintain clear communication throughout the project, keeping you informed of progress and any discoveries that might affect the work. Upon completion, we ensure proper backfilling, compaction, and grading, leaving your property clean and ready for the next phase of your project.
