Excavation & Site Work services in Berwyn
Berwyn is known for its bungalows: blocks of 1910s and 1920s brick houses on narrow lots, with full basements, gangways and alleys behind. The city also has a historic Depot District and busy commercial strips on Cermak Road and Ogden Avenue. Underneath, the ground is flat glacial lake clay, and water from a heavy summer storm has little slope to carry it away. Many Berwyn basements have had water from both directions: seepage through the walls and backup from the sewer during big storms. We dig sewer laterals for replacement or backflow work, open foundation walls for repair, regrade gangways and side yards, and prep slabs and footings for new garages, mostly working from the alley with compact machines.
