What’s the difference between residential and commercial projects?
Residential site work prepares your land for a new home, an additional residential unit, or an accessory building like a workshop or garage or enhances your estate’s landscaping. Think foundation digging, grading, and trenching for utilities—all the critical underground components you don’t see afterward. They are also the things you never want to address again because those problems are significant and expensive to fix. The OBC Part 9 generally sets acceptable residential project standards.
Meanwhile, commercial site works are generally more complex. They cover large-scale projects like office buildings, shopping centers, and industrial sites, where precise planning and coordination with specialized subcontractors are critical. These projects involve more civil works such as roads, water mains, sanitary and storm sewers, curbs, and stormwater management. Developers engineer each building to meet the OBC Part 4 requirements.

What should I look for when choosing an excavation company?
Look for a company with proven experience in management, design, and execution in challenging residential situations. Without this combination, rookie mistakes are easily made.
What’s more, get a risk assessment for underground, surface, structures, and overhead risks specific to your project. Ask about, and get meaningful answers regarding, the proposed solution’s performance. Is it what you want? Does it meet your expectations for performance as well as your budget? You should feel confident in the communication with your contractor.
A good excavation company will have a smooth project management track record, with minimal disruptions to timelines, budgets, and your lifestyle. It will ensure clear expectations, including accurate cost projections, disclosed design/testing standards, and detailed materials specifications. At the same time, a reliable excavation contractor will ensure effective site planning for the work space and access, materials storage, and deliverables. Ultimately, your site will be left clean, and you’ll receive job completion and encountered issues reports.
The right excavation company’s machine operators will be experienced and use the proper equipment to handle the job safely.
Ensure it meets regulatory requirements, including WSIB compliance, mandatory safety training, and licensed designers and installers. Memberships in professional organizations, such as the Brantford Home Builders Association and the Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association, can provide evidence of community engagement and reputation.
Indeed, Advanced Excavating meets these criteria, with a do-it-right-once approach. Your project deserves a team that unearths your property’s potential with minimal disruptions and maximum results.

How do I know if I need a new septic system?
A septic failure occurs when untreated sewage breaks out into the environment. Some signs are more obvious than others. You might notice slow drains, sewage backups, foul odours, unusually green grass over the leach field, standing water near the holding tank or breaking out of the septic bed. Failure can occur underground with sewage leaching into the groundwater.
Regular professional inspections can pinpoint these issues before they become significant problems. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to have a professional evaluate your system to determine whether repairs or a complete replacement is necessary.

We complete a risk assessment and implement plans that protect existing structures, use the right equipment and materials, coordinate with your other crews, and maintain site cleanliness and safety.
Why do I need experts just to move dirt?
Soil is more complex than you may think! For instance, some soil types can expand and contract, causing foundations to crack and structures to heave or settle. Heavy rains can cause erosion if drainage isn’t handled correctly, eroding structural support and weakening buildings over time. Unknown buried services and structures can become dangerous.
That’s why excavation is more than just moving dirt. The soil types, the potential for hidden hazards and the precision required to avoid damage to your structures make excavation a job for excavation services professionals. Hire landscaping excavation experts complete the job safely, efficiently and to the highest standard, protecting your investment.
