Basement excavation done efficiently and safely

Basement excavation is complex. Soil type, water table, and surrounding structures all affect how the job should be done. If excavation is rushed or handled poorly, it can compromise the strength of the basement walls and foundations.

At Groundworx, we prepare sites with precision. Every dig is planned to suit the property and completed with methods that keep the site safe, level, and ready for construction.

Basement excavation services we offer

We provide a full range of concrete solutions for Canberra homes, including:

Full basement digs

Excavation to the required depth with stable walls and a clean finish. Suitable for new builds where a whole subfloor level is needed for living space, storage, or parking.

Extension and renovation of basements

Basements added to existing homes require precise excavation alongside existing footings and foundations. This service is suited to homeowners looking to expand downward without altering the home’s footprint.

Under-house excavation

Creates usable space by digging beneath existing structures. Controlled techniques are used to maintain support and stability throughout the process.

Soil and rock removal

Excavating often requires breaking through compacted soil, shale, or rock. Hard materials are safely removed to reach the design depth while preserving structural integrity.

Site preparation

Once the bulk dig is complete, the area is trimmed, levelled, and shaped to suit the basement design. This includes final surface preparation for slabs, footings, or waterproofing systems.

The Groundworx approach to basement excavation

Comprehensive planning 

Every job starts with a review of soil conditions, ground stability, slope, and access. Planning is focused on risk reduction and long-term structural performance.

Controlled excavation procedures

Basement digs are completed with precision to protect nearby buildings, services, and boundary lines. Support and safety measures are applied throughout the dig.

The right equipment for the job

Machinery is selected for deep, accurate excavation and for working in restricted spaces when needed. This includes tools for rock breaking, tight access, and bulk material handling.

Clean, construction-ready sites

Excavation is completed to the required depth and profile. All spoil is removed, and the site is left level, safe, and ready for the next phase of construction.
