CALL MENU UNDER-EXCAVATION Excavation can be done when a foundation needs to be removed and the basement requires more depth. Foundation and Basement Excavation Services When a house or building is moved, lifted, or shored up, the ground underneath the structure must be excavated to allow the masons to build a new foundation. With our under-excavation service, we leave a clean excavated foundation hole for your contractor to begin their work. We excavated the foundation of the 200-year-old Forty-Fort Meeting House and supported it while a new foundation was installed. We lifted this Atlanta, GA home 11′ and excavated underneath so the homeowners could add a full basement. EXCAVATING FOR HOUSE LIFTING & MOVING PROJECTS Most of our house lifting and moving projects involve excavating underneath the structure. For house moving projects, we often need to excavate under the existing foundation to add the supports, jacks, and dollies to prepare for the move. At the home’s final location, we can keep the home supported while the foundation is installed. When we lift a house, we may need to do some excavation to allow the masons to add to the foundation or build a new foundation for the home. This is often the case for homes with outdated or failing foundations, or when the foundation has been damaged by storms or flooding. HOUSE LIFTING & MOVING SERVICES Please note that under-home excavation is offered only in conjunction with one of our other services. Structure Moving With our advanced Buckingham Power Dolly System, we can move your building on the same property or across town. Structure Moving » Supporting & Shoring Supporting a house at its existing elevation can be the smart option in some situations, like adding a full basement. Supporting & Shoring » House Lifting We can lift a house a few inches or a few feet to protect your home from flood damage and give you the space you need. House Lifting » SUPPORTING & EXCAVATING UNDER YOUR BUILDING We bring our decades of experience lifting and moving homes and buildings to each project. Our advanced lifting technology — including the Unified Hydraulic Jacking System — and secure cribbing will keep your structure supported while the excavation and foundation work is being done. Once complete, we’ll return to lower the building onto the new foundation. Our excavation service does not include dirt or foundation debris removal. If dump trucks or dumpsters are available on site, we can place the dirt and/or foundation debris into them. In all other cases, the dirt and foundation debris will be piled up and left on site.
