"I was not impressed with this companyâ s work at all. They didnâ t do what they said they were going to do and rushed through the project. We have two cracks in our foundation that we needed repaired and all they did was dig up around the foundation and slap some tar on it. I was told they were going to put stone against the foundation so it would drain right down to the perimeter drain and they didnâ t do it. They just put the clay back. Then the crack in the front they didnâ t dig down deep enough and didnâ t repair from the outside like they said they would. Again they just slapped some tar on it. When they put the material back they didnâ t tamp it as they went back up, so it kept settling and cracking. They took weeks to come back and put grass seed down. The top soil they charged me for they never even got they used stuff I had left over from a different project (which wasnâ t enough). And when I called to complain that they didnâ t tamp it, they had a guy come tamp it. He literally tamped it for 5 mins and spent the rest of the time leaning against the tamp playing on his phone. My step father had to come with his own tamp and it dropped another 5ish inches after he tamped it. And to top it all off the crack in the front still leaks. They didnâ t do anything I asked and didnâ t want to come back to fix/finish anything. I would not recommend them especially for what they call â smallâ jobs. They might of had a lot going on and bit off more then they could chew when they did our project, but they certainly didnâ t make it right either. I was told they would come back and fix the crack in the front and they never did."

FAQs for excavation projects in Fairfield, VT
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.
