Crawl Space Dig Outs

$500OFF

When You Book TodayRequest your estimate online or mention this offer when you call.

Some crawl spaces are too tight to work in or too low to reach every area. A dig out removes soil to create the room needed for repairs, drainage or future access.

  • Clearance and access assessed first
  • Soil removed to create working room where it's needed
  • Planned around footings, posts and your foundation

Common signs

When a crawl space dig out may be needed

  • Not enough room to work

    Clearance is so low that inspections and repairs are difficult or impossible.

  • Areas you can't reach

    Parts of the crawl space are blocked off by high or mounded soil.

  • Soil close to wood framing

    Dirt piled up against or very near beams, joists or posts.

  • A repair that needs more room

    Drainage, post replacement or other work that needs space to be done right.

  • Uneven, mounded ground

    Leftover soil from construction that was never graded out.

What a crawl space dig out involves

A dig out lowers or levels soil in some or all of a crawl space to create the clearance needed to work safely and do repairs properly. It's often done before installing drainage, replacing posts or making other improvements in tight areas.

Dig outs need careful planning. Soil near footings and foundation walls helps support them, so we look at your crawl space first and dig exactly where it creates the room you need.

  • Measure clearance and check access
  • Plan the dig around footings and supports
  • Remove soil to create working room
  • Leave the space ready for the next step

Why clearance matters

Wood in contact with soil stays damp and is more vulnerable to rot and pests. And if no one can reach part of the crawl space, no one can inspect or repair it. A dig out solves both, and sets up the work that comes next: drainage, post and beam repair or a full vapor barrier.

Questions

Dig Outs questions

What is a crawl space dig out?

It's removing or leveling soil in your crawl space to create more clearance, so inspections and repairs can be done properly.

How do I know if I need one?

If there isn't enough room to reach parts of your crawl space, soil is sitting close to the wood framing, or a repair needs more room to be done right, a dig out is the answer. We'll assess your clearance and tell you exactly what's needed.

Is it safe to dig near my foundation?

Yes. We plan every dig out around your footings and supports, so your foundation stays protected while we create the room you need.

Will a dig out turn my crawl space into living space?

No. A dig out creates working room and access under your home for repairs, drainage and future maintenance.

Is a dig out usually part of a bigger project?

Often. Dig outs are common before drainage, post and beam repairs or encapsulation in tight crawl spaces, and we'll quote everything as one plan.

How do I get an estimate?

Getting started is easy. Call or text (360) 470-4956, or fill out the form on this page. We'll learn what's going on beneath your home, schedule a time to take a look, and give you a straightforward dig out estimate.

I feel very happy and pleased with the work Jon did under my house. He cleaned up the entire crawl space!! Jon is hard working and I would recommend him highly.

Henry RettingerGoogle review

I've been working w/ Jon and CrawlspacePros on some structural issues in my old home, and they've been kind, quality, honest, and they care that I'm happy with the outcome. That means a lot to me. Thank you gentlemen.
