Foundation Excavation in Sanford, ME
Everything above the foundation depends on what happens below it. A foundation dig is cut to depth, held to grade, and drained so water never gets to argue with your concrete.
What's included
What we handle
- Foundation and frost wall excavation for new homes and additions
- Crushed stone base and perimeter drainage
- Backfill and compaction in lifts
- Rough and finish grading around the completed foundation
- Water and utility trenching to the building
Why it matters
The part you can't see
Maine frost goes deep, and a foundation dug shallow or backfilled with the wrong material moves with it. We dig to the depth the plans call for, keep the base dry and level for the concrete crew, and backfill with material that drains instead of holding water against the wall.
Ready for concrete
Level, dry, and cut to the plan, so the foundation crew starts pouring instead of correcting.
Drainage first
Stone and perimeter drain placed while the hole is open, not retrofitted after the first wet spring.
Grades that shed water
Finish grading that moves roof and surface water away from the building.
