"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"Top notch land and lot clearing did a great job clearing my lots. They were very prompt in reaching out when I did an online inquiry. They had someone out to do an estimate the next day. I was able to book the job and they had equipment out with in the next two days to do the job. They were very reasonable with pricing that I was actually surprised. The two gentlemen that came out and did the work were very professional and seemed very experienced. I would recommend them to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Basement waterproofing systems and footing drains frequently require excavating due to intense hydrostatic pressure from moisture-retaining clay soils. Many older Medina properties also feature aging water and sewer laterals that fail from tree root intrusion. Additionally, homes built on former agricultural land feature legacy clay tile drainage networks that collapse over time, requiring full perimeter digging to restore proper yard runoff and protect structures.

Helpful?

Keep temporary insulating covers ready to protect open trenches from severe winter freezing. Because Medina experiences heavy rainfall and poor clay drainage, you must have a sump pump on site to manage standing water. Stockpile compactable granular fill, like gravel, for structural backfill, as native clay soil is unsuitable. Always maintain silt fencing to control erosion and keep all approved utility and permit documentation nearby.

Helpful?

A major mistake is digging without securing required local permits or contacting utility protection services two days beforehand. Homeowners also err by excavating during the late winter or spring thaw when OH clay soils become highly unstable. Overlooking the 32- to 40-inch frost depth causes severe frost heave damage. Finally, ignoring existing agricultural tile drainage systems leads to flooded yards and unstable foundation bases.

Helpful?

Your property is an excellent candidate for excavating if it sits in a low-lying area with poor natural drainage. Homes built before 1980 in Medina consistently require exterior waterproofing updates due to outdated construction methods. Visible efflorescence on basement walls, persistent yard flooding well into summer, and mature trees growing near aging sewer lines all confirm that your property needs subsurface drainage improvements.

Helpful?

Watch for uneven settlement or severe cracking in concrete driveways and patios, which points to improperly compacted backfill. Standing water in your yard after a heavy OH rainstorm indicates failed grading or collapsed agricultural drain lines. Inside the home, sticking doors, bowing foundation walls, and basement water infiltration show that previous exterior waterproofing or foundation work failed and requires immediate professional correction.
