Foundation and Basement Excavation

Foundation and Basement Excavation in Bentonville

A foundation is only as good as the hole it sits in. Michaelburritt digs footings, crawl spaces, and full basements to plan depth and dimension for Bentonville builders and homeowners, with the over-dig a form crew needs and a level, compacted bearing surface for concrete. We manage the spoil, keep the excavation stable, and hand off a hole that is square, plumb, and ready to pour.

Why Depth and Bearing Matter

Dig too shallow and the footing sits above solid bearing soil. Dig without managing water and the walls slough in. Our operators have opened enough foundations off SW 2nd Street to know when the clay near the water table needs benching to stay put. Getting the bearing surface right is what keeps a house from cracking down the road.

Our Process

We start with an 811 locate, then excavate to the staked lines and plan depth, over-digging for formwork. We slope, bench, or shield any cut five feet and deeper per OSHA, compact the bearing surface, and manage spoil for backfill or haul off. A competent person inspects the excavation daily before anyone enters it.
