Foundations
Building Strong Starts from the Ground Up
The strength and stability of any structure begin with a properly prepared foundation. At ES Excavation, we specialize in precision foundation excavation for homes, additions, garages, and commercial buildings across Newtown Square, PA and Southeast Pennsylvania. We dig with accuracy, foresight, and a commitment to your project’s success—ensuring your structure has the support it needs for the long haul.
Footings and Foundation Excavation
We excavate for footings and full foundations based on engineering plans and site requirements. Our team ensures correct depth, width, and elevation so that your concrete work and framing start on solid, level ground.
Slab and Crawl Space Preparation
Whether you’re pouring a slab or building over a crawl space, we prepare the base to exact specifications—grading, compacting, and leveling the site to support long-term structural integrity.
Digging basements requires precision and care. We handle basement digs for new construction and additions, ensuring proper depth, slope, and spoil management to keep your site clean, safe, and ready for the next phase.
Backfilling and Final Grading
After foundations are poured and cured, we backfill and grade around structures to promote proper drainage and protect against water intrusion. Our team uses the right materials and compaction techniques for a secure, lasting finish.
