"We had such a horrible time trying to find a solution to our finished basement taking on water a second time just after we redid our floors. After several estimates from people offering very outrageous solutions and prices, High Tech Concrete & Excavation reached out to us. We took a chance and were not disappointed in the slightest! Jimmy was great - good communication, fantastic and quick work, and VERY reasonable pricing which both my husband and I greatly appreciated. He was very honest with his estimate and actually cared to look at all points that were affected in the house instead of just outside. He even took time during their work to show me issues they found with our foundation and offered to fix them while he was here. It's been 3 months and absolutely no water has found its way into our finished basement We'll definitely be keeping their card and calling them back in the springtime to finish our driveway and for any other work we may need. You wont be disappointed!"

"Tim was quick to stop by to take a look at our property and within one day we had an estimate. We accepted it and within just a few days the work was completed. Tim is the foreman and was courteous, answered his phone every time I called and was lovely to work with. I would definitely use this company again in any future landscaping projects we need done."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
