"We live in Utah and have owned property in Independence for years. With the overgrowth rate, we hired a person to keep it cleared. He did marvelous until ill with serious complications. Tried Angi several times to find someone to take over. After no offers, we gave up over a year ago. Recently, Independence City sent us a written overgrowth notice. Angi was tired again. Within an hour was contacted by Solid Ground Land & Excavation Services, LLC. Their representative was attentive, interested and helpful. He visited the land that day and sent a bid that evening. The bid was reasonable and we contracted this company the next day. Less than a week later, the job is done and photos provided to show "Before" and "After" conditions of the land. Excellently done! Further, this company has agreed to assist us to find a new person to do the ongoing maintenance. Could not be more pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Hap and to Angi!!"

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

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

The completion timeline for an in-ground swimming pool project typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on weather conditions, the complexity of the design, and any unexpected ground conditions encountered during excavation.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.
