Accessibility for the owners, safety and protecting the existing flagstone was also a priority on this job.	View Larger Image

Every project involving an occupied home includes planning to minimizing the inconvenience.	View Larger Image
View Larger Image	Locating underground utilities is essential when trenching around the perimeter of a building.
Repairing the damage is done once the full extent is exposed.	View Larger Image

Corners illustrate the complexity of the remediation to the original construction that is necessary.	View Larger Image
View Larger Image	Once the new Melroll water barrier is in place, the crew begins to backfill with appropriate drainage material.
Certain areas require special attention like the sill reconstruction at the front entrance.	View Larger Image

The experience that DIRTCO brings to a project like this guarantees the work will be done right.
