Under-Excavation
When we move or lift a building, 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 cleanly excavated foundation hole for your contractor to begin their work.
We Excavate 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. When we lift a house, we often do some excavation to allow your masons easy access to repair or replace all or part of your foundation.
Please note that under-home excavation is offered only in conjunction with one of our other services.
"I have an 1886 Victorian historic home and needed to have the second floor supported to correct the porch columns. Wolfe did a great job, the crew was professional, polite and respectful of my property. Highly recommended."

Supporting & Excavating Under Your Building
Our advanced lifting equipment—which includes our unified hydraulic jacking system — and secure cribbing will lift your structure and safely support it in place while the excavation and foundation work is completed. When everything is finished, we’ll return to lower your building onto the new foundation.
Please note that 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, we will pile up the dirt and foundation debris and leave it on site.
