"I recently had the pleasure of working with North West Home Solutions, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work in restoring our basement. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to detail. They took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, offering expert advice on the best way to approach the restoration. The project was completed on time, and the crew made sure to keep everything clean and organized throughout the process. What really stood out was their commitment to ensuring everything was done right, and they didn’t cut corners."

"These are a dedicated couple of founders who really bring a lot of experience to the table even though they are young. The best part about them is they are very flexible and willing to look at many aspects of the job creatively to create a quote and a final result that the customer is happy with. I had a other companies kind of strong arming me with â this is how itâ s doneâ - and only Higher Earth were able to consider what we were looking to achieve and the price that we were hoping to achieve it and make it happen!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
