Foundation Excavation in Harpers Ferry, WV
Foundations are where the rest of the building gets its start, so the dig has to be right: correct depth, correct grade, and room to work.
Foundation work we do
- Footers for additions, garages and porches
- Crawlspace and full basement digs
- Over-dig for forms and footer drains
- Spoil hauled off or stockpiled for backfill
- Backfill in compacted lifts once the walls are up
Rock around Harpers Ferry
Shallow rock is common around Harpers Ferry and across Jefferson County, and it can change both the cost and the method of a foundation dig. We look for it before we quote. If it shows up anyway, you hear about it from us before we keep digging, not on the invoice.
Backfill done right
Many settling problems start with backfill dumped in all at once. We place and compact it in layers so the ground around your foundation stays put and slopes water away from the walls.
Common questions
Do you work from plans?
