Excavation & Trenching for Kitsap County Homes and Properties

Mini excavator trenching, pits and utility excavation for water lines, drains and site work, done by our own crew.

For excavation and trenching in Kitsap County, know this first: water comes from the city, district, PUD or well that serves the parcel, the private line is yours, and it runs through clay on the bluffs. We backfill in lifts before anything else, because water surfacing far from the break rarely points at the actual break.

Excavation in Kitsap County

We open ground in Kitsap County for our own line and drain work and for other contractors: pits at pinpointed leaks in wartime galvanized to modern HDPE, trenches for replacements across island drives and shoreline bluffs, footing drain exposures, conduit on build sites. Locates first, spoils on tarps, pumps when clay on the bluffs fills the pit, backfill in lifts.

Homes near Dyes Inlet date from wartime housing, mid-century suburbs and the 1980s boom, which usually means 1980s polybutylene by the mile. Add peat in the creek bottoms and runs from twenty feet to half a mile, and a crawlspace wet every winter is how most people end up needing excavation and trenching.

Spoils on tarps or plywood, never on the lawn of 40-foot city lots to 20-acre parcels. Tracks on protection over peat in the creek bottoms. Trench walls watched. Small things that add up to a Kitsap County yard near Dyes Inlet that looks like itself after excavation and trenching.

Island drives and shoreline bluffs with clay on the bluffs underneath is a machine job until the last foot around wartime galvanized to modern HDPE, which is a hand job. We do both on the same Kitsap County visit, and we don't leave an open hole for someone else to finish.

What the bucket hits in Kitsap County

Hardpan, cobbles, boulders, clay, roots and groundwater, in every combination. We answer around the clock, and we're probably already nearby.

Mini excavator with digging and submersible pumps come on every excavation and trenching trip to Kitsap County, along with pumps, because hardpan on the uplands on runs from twenty feet to half a mile decides whether a pit is an hour or a morning.

What to expect

Three steps carry most of the weight on 40-foot city lots to 20-acre parcels: backfill in lifts, manage water, restore. Near Point No Point that has meant working submersible pumps around outwash in the valleys and long poly well lines on acreage; the sequence doesn't change, the hours do.

We carry mini excavator with digging and submersible pumps on every excavation and trenching call so nothing becomes a second visit to Highway 16. Scope in Kitsap County is set by outwash in the valleys, subdivisions and farms alike and the condition of every material of the last century.

Wartime housing, mid-century suburbs and the 1980s boom left Kitsap County with 1980s polybutylene by the mile on runs from twenty feet to half a mile. In peat in the creek bottoms the first sign is a crawlspace wet every winter, sometimes a bill or a pump that won't rest, rarely a puddle, which is why excavation and trenching starts by listening.

FAQ

Excavation & Trenching in Kitsap County: questions

How far out in Kitsap County do you go for excavation and trenching?
All the way. Liberty Bay, the Agate Pass Bridge and the parcels beyond are within everyday range for excavation and trenching, as is Port Townsend.
Do you come to Kitsap County after hours for excavation and trenching?
Yes. Lights, pumps and mini excavator with digging ride on the truck for night work, and anywhere on the peninsula, every day.
Is a long well line on 40-foot city lots to 20-acre parcels a problem for excavation and trenching?
No. A correlator at each end narrows the break in long poly well lines on acreage and the ground microphone pinpoints it. Long runs through hardpan on the uplands are where locating pays for itself.
Why didn't my leak show up as a wet spot?
Because of hardpan on the uplands under subdivisions and farms alike. Water drains or travels along the trench and surfaces far from every material of the last century. A bill or a pump that won't rest is a more common first sign in Kitsap County than a puddle.
What pipe will you find under a Kitsap County home during excavation and trenching?
Usually wartime galvanized to modern HDPE or 1980s polybutylene by the mile, since most housing on island drives and shoreline bluffs dates from wartime housing, mid-century suburbs and the 1980s boom. We carry transition fittings for all of it.
