"H Morey construction did an amazing job at demolishing and removing my concrete side walk. He was very nice and was straight forward with his pricing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs any sort of demolition and excavating work. And im sure all of his other services are top notch also."

"I cannot speak highly enough about this company. Their work ethic, their professionalism, both their ability and their desire to complete the job to the customer's satisfaction. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the completed job was exactly how I wanted it, plus gave insight on infrastructure needed to ensure proper drainage, and integrity of the project. What I told the owner one day sums up how I feel about working with Travis, Salish Excavation & Trucking, "You make dreams come true." I could tell them what I wanted done, and they did it. In this day and age, that's a gift! I give my highest recommendation this company, and quite honestly, I think a person would be a fool not to hire them."

"I have been using them for 3 years for multiple projects and would not go to somebody else. They also built a cabin in the woods. It was built 10 miles from the road so it was like carrying all the stuff up the path. They also did the garage and remodeling of the house, mostly kitchen and a little bit of plumbing work in the bathroom. I am still using them and I would be using them for the next thing that will be coming up too."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
