Our Cellar Dig Out Process


Here’s how we ensure each cellar dig-out is done safely, efficiently, and up to code:


Initial Site Inspection

We assess soil type, existing footing, crawl space height, foundation depth, utilities location, moisture issues, etc.


Design & Permitting

Our team plans the project, handling required engineering, structural design, and pulls all necessary local permits.


Excavation & Support Structures

Safely remove soil, bracing up existing foundation walls, install required temporary supports, footings, or steel beams as needed.


Foundation & Drainage

Pour new concrete footings and walls or reinforce the existing ones. Install French drains, sump pumps, waterproof membranes, vapor barriers—everything to manage moisture and water infiltration.


Interior Access & Finishing (Optional)

If you want this space finished, we can build stairs, insulate walls, install utility hookups, lighting, flooring, and other finishing elements.


Safety & Compliance Checks

Final inspections to ensure structural integrity, proper insulation, fire safety, egress where required, and adhere to local building codes.
