Residential Footing & Foundation Excavation
Dug to Plan. Ready for Inspection.
Every home, addition and ADU sits on its footings, and a footing is only as good as the excavation under it. Harris Excavation digs footings and foundations for homeowners and builders across the Bay Area and Eastern Sierras, cut to the lines, widths and depths on your plans so your inspection and concrete pour stay on schedule.
We excavate continuous and spread footings, grade beams, slab subgrades and foundation pads for new homes, additions and ADUs. Our crews work from your structural plans and layout, keep trench walls clean and bottoms firm and level, and haul off or stockpile the spoils. We coordinate with your builder, concrete crew and inspector so forms and rebar go in without delays.
