What Happens During an Excavation Project
- 1. Site assessment and utility check
We review the property, the work requested, and the location of underground utilities before excavation begins.
- 2. Excavation and grading
The crew excavates and grades the area according to the agreed project scope.
- 3. Coordination with related work
When excavation is part of a masonry, foundation, drainage, or line project, we coordinate the site work with the next stage of the job.
- 4. Backfill and site cleanup
After the applicable work is complete, the crew backfills and grades the excavated area as specified for the project
Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation in Pittsburgh
Do I need excavation before repointing my brick?
Usually, repointing accessible brick does not require excavation. If the work also involves a below-grade foundation or drainage issue, excavation may be needed. We can review the site and explain the recommended approach.
How long does residential excavation take?
It depends on the size of the project, site access, ground conditions, and the work that follows excavation. We can discuss the expected schedule after reviewing the job.
Will excavation affect my yard or landscaping?
Excavation can disturb the area where equipment needs access and soil must be removed. We’ll review the work area with you before the project begins.
Can T.D. Brick Pointing LLC handle excavation and masonry repair?
Yes. We can coordinate excavation and site preparation with the masonry or foundation work required for the project, so you have a clear plan for the work.
