Welcome to Crackology, where we specialize in providing expert foundation repair and waterproofing services for homeowners who need reliable solutions to protect their most valuable asset – their home. With years of experience in the industry, Crackology is committed to delivering high-quality, long-lasting repairs, and top-tier waterproofing solutions. We pride ourselves on being the trusted partner you can rely on when your home is facing foundation issues, moisture problems, or structural concerns.

 At Crackology, we don’t just fix foundations; we restore your peace of mind. Foundation issues are more than just repairs—they’re a matter of safety and security. Our mission is simple: to provide dependable, long-lasting foundation repairs and waterproofing solutions that protect what matters most, your home.

"I landed upon Crackology at the right time and I was very thankful for it. I had been working with a previous concrete company for wellnover 6 months. Not only did this company consume a lot of my time, money was wasted and the job was left incomplete. I was left trying to figure out how my excavation and foundation was going to to be completed before the winter kicked in placing my unfinished basement at risk of shifting and potentially more costs! They also offered financing as an option even though I did not need it. Crackology was able to not only fix what the previous concrete company left incomplete but gave an expected time of completion with a breakdown of expected costs. Very thorough with assessing what I desired for my basement (excavation, new beams, waterproof barrier), they did not leave me wondering when the job would be complete, and most importantly, kept me in the loop alongside each step of completion. I highly recommend them if you need concrete work and foundation work completed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.
