"This was the most money we have ever paid anyone to do anything...ever. The Sheridans had our trust throughout the entire process. They gave an affordable quote and did awesome work. They cleaned up during each stage of the project and always communicated well with me about timing and issues that came up. Our garage dimensions were awkward and not a perfect rectangle by any means - these guys had to craft a kit of workarounds for irregular shapes and curves. Todd and Luke are good human beings with positive attitudes, and care about their integrity and their work. I hope to use them in the future."

"I hired Greg to excavate and waterproof our new 8' tall finished basement. A different contractor did the concrete work. Greg assumed responsibility of all work after the concrete was cured. He said he would acquire and install drainage pipe and fabric around the footings. He said he would apply tar for waterproofing. And he coordinated acquiring stone and sand for back-fill. However, after he back-filled the foundation, I brought to his attention that he didn't apply the waterproofing tar. When I first asked him about not doing the waterproofing tar, he said he called his "guy" to do it and expressed frustration that it didn't get done. A couple days later he changed his message and said I never asked for waterproofing to be done. Then he changed his message again and said he gave me the phone number to his "guy" for me to call and coordinate the waterproofing. In the end, he was certain it was my fault for not coordinating with his "guy" to do the waterproofing. By all accounts, waterproofing is essential because our home is on a lake and has water issues that need to be mitigated. He wanted to charge us for the additional work to re-excavate even though he didn't get it right the first time. We shared harsh words and now I have a foundation that will leak like cheesecloth. It was quite fascinating how many excuses he surmised for why it didn't get done; none of which included that perhaps he made a mistake. I was quite pleased with his work until he blamed me for not doing that one particular thing. Seriously, dude? It was my fault? I understand that mistakes happen, I wish he were mature enough to take responsibility. Don't hire children to do a man's job."

Excavation services FAQs
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
