Foundation Excavation Specialists in Nanaimo, BC
A foundation excavation done correctly is the first investment in the longevity of your building. Done incorrectly — wrong depth, inadequate drainage, poor compaction — it sets up problems that surface months or years later. We use laser grading equipment on every foundation dig to ensure the specifications are met exactly.
Nanaimo’s ground conditions vary across the city. Established neighbourhoods in South Nanaimo and central areas of the city often have clay-heavy soils with drainage challenges. North Nanaimo and areas toward Lantzville have more varied conditions including rock in some locations. Rural properties in Cedar and Cassidy often have complex soil profiles. We assess every site before quoting.

Drainage Is Built Into Every Foundation Dig
On Vancouver Island, no foundation excavation is complete without proper drainage planning. We install drainage aggregate and perforated pipe at the base of every foundation to intercept groundwater before it can exert pressure on foundation walls. This is standard practice for us — not an add-on.
