Excavation & Site Work services in Skokie
Skokie has flat ground drained by the North Shore Channel and the North Branch of the Chicago River, and much of the village was built in a wave of postwar brick ranches and split-levels. The soils are mostly glacial lake clay and silt that drain slowly, with fill and soft spots in low areas. Many of those 1950s homes now have aging sewer laterals, settled patios and driveways, and basements or crawl spaces that take on water in heavy storms. Larger commercial areas near Old Orchard and Oakton bring site and parking lot work. In Skokie we dig sewer and water line replacements, regrade yards, tear out and rebuild driveway and garage slab bases, and dig footings for additions and garages.
