Excavating Along the Foundation

oh that's what I call Berrien and mistake it started out as a really straightforward regrading job they were getting water in their basement right in this area and while we were going to do is remove the landscaping and then transition the grades so that we kicked the water instead of concentrating on the house to be away from the house but once we started to remove the landscaping what we discovered next everything changed and of course this happens to be another one of those projects where one false move and leap damn exciting and then could eventually end up replacing the siding on the whole house in the last video I did some similar to those people who are like well why would give to replace all of the siding on the house well the thing is if you damaged any of that siding and you can't color match it perfectly then a potential customer can have their tire house recited it's just the law at least in our neck of the woods I don't know what it's like where you are but that's the way it operates for us so on every job there's always a challenge and in this case one of the little challenges that we came up was that the stones were hyper saturated there was a lot more water that we're starting to pump up from under the ground and go into our work zone and it wasn't necessarily coming from the top it was actually coming and bubbling up from underneath and you're gonna see just how bad that is and just a minute [Music] so it's not just the fact that he's digging in super muddy conditions right next to the house it's right underneath a four-season porch almost like the job we did one project before this one but this foundation this four season porch was just installed less than a year ago so we can't afford to even come close to it we're hunting for the footings of the house and it's just filling up with water [Music] [Applause] [Music] so right here you can see where we're starting to discover that there's more to this story than what we initially gambled for the foundation wall is cracked in various places throughout here but this is guys just the beginning of this problems on this project water coming in from here back here so as we're excavating this out we're finding more and more foundation damage plus we're also finding that the houses actually got water that's pouring out from underneath it so we've got to find out just how far this damage goes and that means we've got to expose a lot more of the foundation I called out the homeowners and they weren't…
