"Mr..Dapper has done a lot of work for us. He remodeled our bathroom to accommodate my husband who suffered from numerous strokes, making it accessible with the walker or wheelchair. He’s also painted the entire inside of my house. He also we built my back deck with a metal roof. Also chuck down several large trees out of my front yard and also laid all new flooring throughout the house. Bobbie is a very respectable polite gentleman honest as a day is long has done wonderful work within my home and I highly recommend them to everybody.

"Highly recommend! They were quick, fairly priced, Mark is super knowledgeable and genuine. His son Samuel ran downspouts underground and did some excavation to fix some grading in our backyard where there wasn't good drainage. Our new construction home is one step closer to looking finished! We want them to come back and do our final grading!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As your home ages, your excavating needs change based on the construction era. Pre-1950 properties require sewer lateral replacements due to failing clay pipes. Mid-century homes in OH need foundation waterproofing as original tar coatings deteriorate in the clay soil. Newer builds mostly require groundwork for utility extensions or pool installations. Address these aging materials promptly to protect your foundation from water damage.

Helpful?

You will find several types of local professionals handling excavating based on your exact project. General contractors manage site preparation, basement digging, and utility trenching. Sewer and water line specialists handle lateral replacements and storm connections. Foundation experts focus on waterproofing and footing repairs. Environmental remediation crews manage contaminated soil and underground storage tank removal for older Columbus properties with industrial histories.

Helpful?

Proper excavating requires careful backfilling in layers using imported granular fill to prevent future ground settlement. The contractor must restore the surface grade to direct water safely away from your foundation, which is crucial in Columbus clay soils. Inspect the site to ensure lawn areas are fully restored and no standing water remains. For sewer projects, request a final camera inspection video for your records.

Helpful?

Gather your current property survey to identify lot boundaries and utility easements before scheduling excavating services. Document the location of any private utilities, such as irrigation systems or exterior lighting conduits. Take clear photographs of your current surface grade, drainage patterns, and nearby mature trees. Review local OH flood maps and secure written approval from your homeowners association prior to breaking ground.

Helpful?

To see if your property will complicate excavating, check your local flood zone status and review historical maps for old utility routes. Columbus features expansive clay soils that shift with moisture and retain water, requiring special dewatering equipment. Older neighborhoods also have narrow lots that limit equipment access. Always contact the state dig service to locate hidden utility lines before starting any groundwork.
