"Tyler was key to my project, I live in Houston TX I could not find another contractor that was as sympathetic to my unit situation. He showed up on time and did the excavation work. He also is an excellent operator. Very much looking forward to doing more business with him."

"The work was done beautifully. It took longer than expected because they had to install new insulation and plywood to this older home before they could do the siding, but they were more than capable of doing that. Sometimes the whole crew was not there on certain days, but Andre and John continued the hard work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Treat sewage backups, failing septic systems, and bowing retaining walls as immediate emergencies that require urgent excavating to protect your health and property. Active foundation leaks during Durango monsoons also demand instant action. You can delay minor regrading or driveway repairs, but schedule these projects between May and October. Late spring and early fall offer the best soil conditions, avoiding the frozen winter ground and heavy summer rains.

Helpful?

Monitor your property during Durango's summer monsoons and spring snowmelt. If you spot pooling water or foundation seepage, schedule excavating to correct the drainage. Watch for cracked driveways or sticking doors, as expansive clay soils cause significant shifting. Additionally, recurring spring frost heaving indicates underground pipes sit above the 36-inch frost line. Address these issues promptly to protect your home from ongoing seasonal water damage.

Helpful?

Correctly completed excavating in CO always includes closed municipal permits and documented utility locate tickets. The finished grading must slope away from your foundation, visibly directing water outward during rain events. Contractors must use properly compacted backfill to prevent future yard depressions in expansive clay soils. For rural properties, septic system installations require official environmental health sign-offs and appropriately sized drain fields to meet strict state regulations.

Helpful?

Consistent water pooling near your foundation during Durango monsoons creates severe hydrostatic pressure against your walls. Small yard depressions signal failing septic components or collapsed drainage pipes. Diagonal cracks in concrete driveways indicate sub-surface clay soil movement that threatens your foundation. Furthermore, bowing retaining walls or sudden sewage odors point to failing infrastructure. Hire a professional for excavating immediately when you spot these warning signs to prevent massive structural failures.

Helpful?

During the first fifteen years, new homes in CO require minor regrading to fix uneven soil settlement. As properties reach forty years old, aging sewer lines and private septic systems demand excavating for necessary replacements. For older homes, expect to install French drains or repair foundation walls damaged by decades of freeze-thaw cycles. Properties near recent wildfire burn scars face accelerated erosion, requiring upgraded drainage systems to handle increased runoff.
