Excavation Services FAQ
Do I need permits for excavation work?
Many excavation projects require permits, especially when working near property lines, altering drainage patterns, or excavating near utilities. We can advise you on permit requirements for your area and coordinate with local building departments. It's always better to check permit requirements before starting work to avoid potential complications.
What happens if you encounter rock or unexpected site conditions?
Unexpected conditions do occur in excavation work. When we encounter rock, underground utilities, or other surprises, we stop work, assess the situation, and discuss options with you before proceeding. Our experience means we can usually adapt to these challenges without major delays, but we always keep you informed of any changes to scope or cost.
Can you work around existing utilities?
Yes, but safety is our top priority. Before any excavation, we coordinate with Missouri One Call to have utilities marked. We use careful hand digging near marked utilities and have experience working in tight spaces where multiple utilities are present. Protecting existing infrastructure is a critical part of every excavation project.
Can you excavate in wet conditions or winter?
While we can work in less-than-ideal conditions, extremely wet weather or frozen ground can impact excavation quality and efficiency. Wet soil doesn't compact properly and can create muddy conditions that complicate the project. We assess conditions carefully and may recommend waiting for better weather on some projects to ensure quality results.
Are you insured and licensed?
Yes, Rogers Excavating & Septic carries full liability insurance and maintains all required licensing for excavation work in Missouri. We can provide proof of insurance for your records or for any lenders or contractors who require it.
