If you’re planning construction or renovations on your property, chances are you need some excavating work done first. Excavation allows you to clear and level land or dig down to lay the groundwork for new structures. Here are some of the most common reasons to hire an excavating company.

Why You May Need a Professional Excavator

1. Clearing Property

If you have a piece of undeveloped land, you will need to clear away trees and plants and level uneven ground before you can build. Heavy excavating equipment makes this process fast and simple.

2. Foundation Pouring

Once you’ve cleared and leveled your property, you’ll need to dig down below ground level to make a space for your foundation. You’ll need to do the same if you’re adding a concrete driveway, patio, or path to a new or existing construction.

3. Foundation Repair

Over time, even a material as strong as concrete can sustain damage from the shifting and settling of soil and the movement of water. To repair it, you’ll need to dig away the surrounding dirt to gain access.

4. Well Drilling

If you want access to local groundwater, you’ll need a professional excavation company to drill a well. This is a specialized type of excavation that requires large, heavy-duty drilling equipment.

5. Plumbing Projects

Excavation is the first step in replacing or repairing exterior pipes, sewer equipment, and septic tanks. Once your pipes are ready to go, your contractor will bury them again.
