"My experience with Rock Excavating was great! I had met with two Contractors previously for an estimate and they never even called me back. I met with Rock Landscaping and he assured me He could help me with my earthquake damaged hill that my house sits on as well as my driveway that was allowing water from the street to pool up against my foundation. The owner gave me updates on the progress of the job and didn't waste a minute getting in and saving my home from falling off the side of a forty foot hill! Re-sloped my driveway too, so now my foundation is not taking on a ton of water. The owner sensed the urgency in my Contractor needs and jumped right into action. I highly recommend Rock Landscaping!"

"Alaska Foundation Technologies (AFT) excavated the entire 20" wall down to and including the footing partially with a small excavator but mostly by hand.  The soil removed was relocated to another area on my property.  They removed the crushed Egress Box, the old covering on the exterior wall (Tar Paper which had been Hot Mopped), power washed the All Weather Wood sheeting, installed Bituthain mastic over the sheeting, rebuilt the Egress Box to code and attached it to the foundation walls.  In addition they installed 2" Foam Board to the entire wall (which was not part of their initial design).  They then installed  a  4" perforated drain pipe the length of the 20' wall and continued approximately another 30' with a solid drain pipe where it reached  "daylight".  They back filled the area excavated with 2" minus drain rock.  All construction materials were removed to my satisfaction, the lawn damage was minimal.  On the interior of the Bedroom, they repaired 3 studs.  I removed the sheetrock, installed new R-21 insulation installed replacement sheetrock on the interior wall (I had agreed to do this before hand to keep the cost down a little bit).
This contractor was prompt, punctual, completed the work ahead of schedule, and provided me with a written agreement on scope of work and cost before the work was started.  The also Warranted their materials and workmanship for five years."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
