Foundation Excavation in St. Clair County: FAQ

The digging itself often takes a day or two for a typical house. Weather, groundwater, rock and hauling logistics can stretch that out.
Sometimes, but heavy clay drains poorly against foundation walls. Many builders bring in granular backfill near the walls, so ask what the plans call for.
Usually the builder or foundation contractor, after the footing forms are set and before concrete. Confirm who owns each inspection in your contract.
