Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permits for excavation?
Most excavation work requires building permits and grading permits from your local jurisdiction. Foundation excavation for new construction or additions always requires permits. Brushtech can help clarify which permits are needed and work with your contractor or engineer to ensure compliance.
How much does excavation cost?
Excavation costs depend on volume (cubic yards), depth, access difficulty, and soil conditions. Typical residential foundation excavation ranges $3,000-$8,000. Trenching costs $5-$15 per linear foot depending on depth. Detailed free estimates are provided after site evaluation.
What do you do with excavated dirt?
Several options are available: haul away to disposal sites, spread on-site if suitable and permitted, or deliver to your specified location. Clean fill dirt may be recycled, while contaminated soil requires special disposal. Brushtech handles all aspects of material management.
Can you work around existing utilities?
Yes. Excavation near existing utilities is routine. Brushtech always arranges for professional utility locating before digging and uses hand-digging techniques near marked lines when required. Safety and utility protection are top priorities.
How long does excavation take?
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A typical residential foundation excavation takes 1-3 days. Utility trenching may be completed in a day. Weather, access, soil conditions, and permit approvals can affect schedules. Realistic timelines are provided with every estimate.
What about wet or rocky soil?
Northern California presents varied soil conditions. Brushtech has experience with everything from decomposed granite to hard rock and clay. Rocky conditions may require additional equipment or time. Wet conditions may require dewatering. These challenges are addressed during the estimate.
