Excavation Service in Trenton, MI

Trenton's brick ranches and colonials were built when concrete mix designs and sub-base standards were different from what is used today. After 50 or more Michigan winters, the clay soil beneath those original slabs has moved enough to crack and settle the concrete above it. Patching the surface does not fix a failed base. The right repair starts with excavation, pulling the old slab, regrading the sub-base, and pouring fresh concrete on a stable platform.

Moderate lot sizes in Trenton give us more room to work than the tightest Downriver cities, which makes equipment staging easier on driveway and patio jobs. The North Trenton area near Oakwood Boulevard and the West Trenton corridor near I-75 both have established neighborhoods where we work on residential concrete and excavation regularly. Waterfront properties along the Detroit River corridor sometimes have additional drainage considerations given their proximity to the river.

Basement excavation is a growing request in Trenton as owners of the original ranch-style homes look to add square footage below grade. These homes were often built with shallow crawl spaces, and converting them to full basements requires careful excavation to protect the existing foundation while removing the soil beneath. We also handle utility excavation on these older properties, where underground lines may need replacement or rerouting.
