Foundation Excavation Contractor
Digging To Spec. Every Time.
The foundation dig sets the stage for everything that follows. A sloppy excavation means forming delays, drainage problems, and extra costs that follow the project for years. Ruck Excavating does foundation digs that are clean, accurate, and built around your schedule and your plans.
We read architectural and engineering drawings and work to the numbers on the page. Footing bottoms are level and clean. Over-dig is controlled. Spoil is managed so your forming crew has room to work. We coordinate directly with your foundation contractor so there are no gaps and no surprises when they show up.
Builders and developers across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley call Ruck when the foundation dig has to be right the first time.

FAQ
How accurate is your foundation digging?
We work directly from your architectural and engineering plans. Footing bottoms are clean and level, over-dig is controlled, and we coordinate with your forming crew so they walk onto a dig that is ready to go.
Do you dig basements and crawl spaces?
Yes. Full basement excavation, partial basements, crawl spaces, and stepped footings on sloped lots. We handle the full range of residential and light commercial foundation digs.
Can you work to engineered specs?
Yes. Every foundation dig we do is plan-accurate. If there are changes in the field we communicate before we dig, not after.
Do you handle spoil removal?
Yes. Excavated material is managed on site or trucked off depending on your site constraints and what your project requires.
