Professional Excavation Company Lake Vanare

What You Get With Professional Excavation

You get a site that’s ready for the next phase of your project. No surprises, no callbacks, no drainage headaches six months later.

When excavation is done right, everything else falls into place. Your foundation sits level. Water flows where it should. Your timeline stays on track. You’re not dealing with soggy basements or settling issues because someone cut corners on the site work.

That’s what proper excavation looks like – invisible when it’s working, obvious when it’s not. You want the kind that works.

Site Preparation Process

How We Handle Your Excavation Project

First, we walk your site and discuss exactly what you need. We look at access points, utilities, drainage, and any potential challenges before we bring equipment on site.

Then we handle the actual excavation work – whether that’s foundation digging, septic installation, or full site preparation. We use the right equipment for your specific job, not whatever happens to be available.

Finally, we make sure everything is graded properly and cleaned up. Your site is ready for the next contractor, or ready for you to use. No loose ends, no “we’ll come back later” situations.

Foundation Excavation Septic Systems

What's Included In Our Service

Foundation excavation that’s dug to exact specifications with proper drainage considerations. We handle everything from basement foundations to slab prep, making sure your structure has the right base to build on.

Site preparation for new construction or additions. This includes clearing, grading, and setting up proper water management so your project starts on solid ground.

Septic system installation and repair work. We dig the fields, install the tanks, and handle the backfill properly so your system works the way it should for years to come.

How long does foundation excavation typically take to complete?

Most residential foundation excavation takes 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your project. A simple basement foundation might be done in a day, while a larger foundation with complex drainage requirements could take longer. Weather and soil conditions also play a role – we can move faster in dry conditions with stable soil. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project requirements and current conditions.

What's included in your site preparation services?

Site preparation includes clearing vegetation, removing stumps and debris, rough grading to establish proper drainage, and fine grading to prepare for construction. We also handle utility line protection and access road preparation if needed. The goal is to deliver a site that’s ready for your next contractor to start work immediately. We coordinate with other trades to make sure timing works for everyone involved in your project.

Do you handle septic system repairs or just new installations?

We handle both new septic installations and repair work. For repairs, this might include replacing failed distribution boxes, fixing broken pipes, or installing new leach fields when the old system isn’t working properly. We can also pump out and inspect existing systems to determine what type of repair is needed. New installations include everything from site evaluation and permitting assistance to final inspection and system startup.

How do you handle drainage issues during excavation work?

Drainage is built into every excavation project from the start. We grade sites to direct water away from foundations and structures, install drainage tile where needed, and make sure surface water has a clear path off your property. If we encounter groundwater during digging, we have pumping equipment to handle dewatering. The key is planning for water management before we start digging, not trying to fix problems after they develop.

What size projects do you typically handle?

We work on everything from residential foundation excavation and septic installations to larger commercial site preparation projects. Our equipment can handle small backyard additions where access is tight, as well as multi-acre development sites. The key is matching the right equipment to your specific project requirements. We’re not too big for small jobs or too small for larger ones – we just use different equipment depending on what your project needs.

How far in advance should I schedule excavation work?

For most projects, 1-2 weeks advance notice works well, though this can vary based on our current schedule and the season. Spring and fall tend to be busier periods for excavation work. If you have a specific timeline for your overall project, let us know and we’ll work with you to coordinate timing with your other contractors. Emergency repairs or urgent projects can often be accommodated more quickly depending on the situation.
