Foundation Excavation in Ashley, MI
Keller Bros provides foundation excavation in Ashley and across mid-Michigan for new builds and additions.
Expert Foundation Excavation in Ashley, MI
Foundation excavation is the first physical step toward any new home, garage, or addition. Keller Bros serves Ashley, Bannister, Ithaca, Elsie, Alma, Breckenridge, St. Johns, Chapin, Merrill, Marion Springs, Shepherd, and Mt. Pleasant. Mid-Michigan soil is a mix of clay and loam that holds moisture and shifts with freeze-thaw cycles each year. Clay-heavy ground can expand when wet and shrink when dry, which puts pressure on a foundation if the dig is not done right. We cut to the correct depth and shape the excavation to match your foundation plan. Organic topsoil is stripped away so footings bear on stable subsoil. Proper wall slope and a clean perimeter give your concrete crew room to form and waterproof the walls. As a small family business, we focus on your specific needs from the first call to the final pass of the machine. Call Keller Bros to get your foundation excavation started in Ashley or anywhere across our service area.
