Frequently Asked
Foundation Digging FAQs
How deep can you excavate?
We routinely excavate residential basements and commercial footings to spec. Deeper work is coordinated with your project engineer.
Do you remove the spoil?
Yes. Our Peterbilt dump truck hauls to a permitted disposal site or stockpiles on-site for reuse.
What if you hit rock?
We stop, call you with options and added cost before doing anything, then bring the right tool (hydraulic breaker or ripper) so the project keeps moving.
