Soil Excavation

Foundation repairs can be daunting. As the literal base supporting your entire home, it’s reasonable to worry about how extensive some foundation work can be. Some types of foundation repair involve digging straight through the floor of your home, which is an extensive procedure that forces homeowners to rearrange significant portions of their homes to make room for messy and disruptive excavations.

Fortunately, when it comes to foundation repair soil excavations, the professionals here at Hercules Foundation Repair have a better way. Rather than go through, we go under! With three generations of experience under our belts, we’ve perfected the technique and skills required to carry out the safest and most efficient under-slab tunneling in the industry.

Once the location is reached, repairs will be carried out beneath your feet and away from all of your important belongings that you’d want to keep separate from any type of excavation work.

After everything is done, the tunnel will be backfilled and your home will be left looking just like it did before – except more level of course!

Benefits Of Slab Tunneling vs Other Foundation Access Methods

While slab tunneling is extensive itself, it still comes with several advantages when compared to other methods. The most obvious of these benefits are worth mentioning.

Less Disruptive Than Other Methods

As mentioned above, slab tunneling is a great way to avoid the disruption that comes with being forced to drill directly through the floor of your home. In many instances, slab tunneling and its related repairs can be carried out without anyone needing to leave home.

Access To Other Systems

Not only does slab tunneling offer direct access to your home’s foundation, but it also allows technicians access to home systems that are generally very difficult to reach, like certain aspects of plumbing, electrical and drainage systems. If any other repairs are needed from your home shifting, this is a great time to complete them!

Flexible, Versatile & Fast

Slab tunneling can be done under almost any type of commercial or residential building in both interior and exterior areas. The method also has the added benefit of generally being faster than many other techniques designed to achieve the same goal.
