What drives the cost of site excavation in Port Huron

  • Lot size and how much soil must be cut or filled
  • Clearing: trees, stumps, old foundations or debris
  • Soil conditions, groundwater and need for engineered fill
  • Length and depth of utility trenches
  • Hauling spoils off site or importing fill

  • The age of the home: the typical Port Huron home was built around 1955, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Port Huron

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Port Huron was built around 1955. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

59% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Port Huron building department before work starts.

For new buildings it is often required or strongly recommended. Soil borings tell the engineer and excavator whether the ground can carry the load and where water sits.
A typical residential lot can take several days to a few weeks depending on clearing, weather, inspections and how many utilities are run.
