Residential Excavation & Drainage Solutions

At Have Dump Truck Will Travel, we believe that the most critical part of any construction project is the work that happens below the surface. Our recent projects showcase a comprehensive range of residential site solutions—from the surgical demolition of outdated structures to the engineering of complex water management systems.

We specialize in solving the “impossible” backyard headaches that larger firms often overlook. Whether it’s extracting massive root systems from tight quarters, remediating damp crawlspaces, or installing armored drainage outfalls to stop aggressive soil erosion, our team combines precision equipment with technical expertise.

Project 1: Precision Pool Demolition

The Job: A complete backyard reclamation. We demolished a non-functional concrete pool and performed a deep root-ball extraction to prevent future soil settling.

The Result: A perfectly cleared, “blank canvas” lot ready for a new lawn and outdoor living space.

Project 2: Engineered Runoff Control

The Job: Correcting a severe hillside drainage issue. We installed high-capacity corrugated piping to divert storm-water away from the home’s foundation.

The Result: A dry, stable property with a drainage system designed to handle the heaviest seasonal rains.

Project 3: Erosion Protection & Armoring

The Job: Stabilizing a high-velocity water discharge point. We used rip-rap rock armor to prevent soil washout at the culvert exit.

The Result: Permanent erosion control that protects the property’s natural landscape from water damage.

Project 4: Tight-Access Foundation Work

The Job: Surgical” excavation in a low-clearance crawlspace. We removed rock and debris to allow for foundation repairs and moisture barrier installation.

The Result: Improved structural access and a cleaner, drier basement environment for the homeowner.

Project 5: Site Grading & Elevation

The Job: Final site prep for a new construction project. We cleared heavy brush and used precision measuring to verify a 2% slope for optimal drainage.

The Result: A build-ready site that meets strict engineering codes for elevation and water runoff.

Project 6: Bulk Debris & Material Management

The Job: Large-scale site cleanup during a major remodel. We managed the sorting and hauling of massive concrete piles and excess fill dirt.

The Result: By efficiently staging and hauling debris, we kept the job site safe and organized, ensuring the next phase of construction could stay on schedule.
