Most people never expect to need an excavation contractor. Then one day the water stops working, a sewer line fails, or someone tells them they need to dig up their property.\n\nThat's where Kronos comes in.\n\nNobody should have to become an underground plumbing expert overnight just to make the right decision. Every project starts with a clear explanation of what's happening, why it needs to be fixed, and the options available before any work begins.\n\nThe best contractors don't just solve problems they make sure you understand them. That knowledge helps you make confident decisions today and avoid costly mistakes tomorrow.\n\nUnderground plumbing isn't just about repairing pipes beneath your property. It's about helping you navigate one of the most disruptive and expensive repairs a home or business can face with clarity, and workmanship you can trust.

"We had a messy curly willow
that was too close to the house for me to cut. Eddy were quick to
come out and give us a quote I could not refuse. They said they would
try to get us in before the weekend (4 days away) and they were at the
house a day later. They were safe, quick and cleaned up very well. Even
after they got into their truck to leave - the truck stopped, one of the
guys hopped out and ran out into the lawn to pick up a few missed
chips. I HIGHLY recommend this business!

"Once we hired Kentstruction to do our job, Kent told us he would start in 4 weeks and that's exactly when they came. The job was done quickly and efficiently. Kent and his brother Eban were so helpful when it came to making decisions on products and designs. They were always timely and professional and the work they did was excellent. We will hire them again for our next home improvement,."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
