Frequently Asked Questions

Exterior waterproofing requires excavating around your foundation to access the exterior walls. This is necessary for applying waterproof membranes, installing exterior drainage systems, repairing foundation cracks from the outside, and ensuring proper grading. While more involved than interior methods, exterior waterproofing provides the most comprehensive and permanent solution to foundation water problems.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and project scope. Many cities require permits for excavations deeper than a certain depth or near property lines. Miss Dig utility locating is legally required for all excavations. We’re familiar with local requirements and can advise you on permits needed for your specific project and help coordinate necessary approvals.
Yes, lawn restoration is included in our service. After completing the work and backfilling, we restore the grade, compact soil properly, and reseed or install sod depending on the season and your preference. We aim to leave your property in excellent condition. Most lawns recover fully within one growing season with proper care.
Duration depends on project size and complexity. Small utility trenches may take just hours, while foundation excavation for waterproofing typically takes 1-3 days. The complete project including waterproofing and restoration may span 3-7 days. We provide accurate timelines after evaluating your specific project and always work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Cost factors include excavation depth and volume, soil conditions, site accessibility, obstacles like concrete or tree roots, disposal requirements for excavated material, and restoration needs. Difficult access requiring smaller equipment or hand digging increases cost. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your site and understanding project requirements.
