Excavation & Land Services in Wausau, WI

 Land clearing and drainage correction for Wausau homeowners. 

As the Marathon County seat, Wausau brings a different mix of work than our more rural service area, and recent projects here have included both land clearing and a basement drainage fix for a homeowner dealing with standing water.

Built for Wausau Ground

Wausau's mix of hillier terrain near Rib Mountain and flatter ground closer to the Wisconsin River means drainage needs vary a lot property to property — a home on a slope faces different water problems than one closer to the valley floor. The basement drainage regrading project we've completed here is a common fix for homes where surface grade, not a deeper groundwater issue, is causing the problem.

Wausau Excavation FAQ

  • Can you fix a basement that keeps getting water after rain?

    Often yes — if the cause is surface grading directing water toward the foundation rather than a groundwater issue, regrading alone can solve it, which is the kind of fix we've completed for a Wausau homeowner.

  • Do you handle small land clearing jobs, like a quarter acre?

    Yes — land clearing jobs of any size, from a small residential lot to larger acreage, are work we take on.

  • Do you handle commercial site work in Wausau, or just residential?

    Both — Wausau is one of our markets for commercial and municipal excavation given the city's size, alongside residential work like the projects above.
