Toronto’s harsh climate can negatively affect the crawl space condition of many homes, causing excessive moisture buildup or destruction of the home’s structure. The Willfix team takes into account the Canadian climate, the condition of each house, and the estimated budget. With this in mind, we use two main methods of crawl space excavation: mechanical excavation and hand digging. Each has its characteristics and applications.
When choosing this method, the soil conditions and the space around the house are taken into account. If the crawl space excavation project is large, then mechanical excavation is the best method to use. The Willfix team uses different techniques depending on the complexity of the project, size and soil type:
Mechanical excavation dramatically simplifies and speeds up the crawl space excavation process, reducing the overall project time.
This method is ideal for homes with limited space or complex layouts. If the project is small and requires precision and accuracy in crawl space excavation, hand digging is perfect. What hand-digging methods do we use in our work?
Hand digging is labour-intensive and adds time to the entire project. However, this method is the most optimal in limited areas with difficult terrain.
A successful result in crawl space excavation requires the use of advanced technology and tools. Choosing the right equipment ensures the safety, efficiency, and quality of the excavations performed. What technologies does the Willfix team use in work?
The process of crawl space excavation is complex and requires a comprehensive approach to take into account all the nuances. Willfix understands this and provides a skilled team and modern equipment to ensure quality, safe and timely work. How do we excavate crawl spaces?
The Willfix team comes to you to assess the condition of your property, soil type, moisture levels and size of the area. Based on this assessment, we create a detailed plan that takes into account all the features and your wishes.
After evaluating your home, it becomes clear which is the best method to use: mechanical excavation or hand digging. In some cases we can combine these methods. Each crawl space in Toronto is unique and requires an individual approach.
You don’t have to worry about getting the necessary permits and approvals from Toronto Municipalities offices. We take care of this work for you. Besides, we already have most of the licenses in hand.
We clear the area of debris, vegetation, and obstructions that may interfere with the work. We install temporary supports to stabilize the foundation and ensure safety for your property and the surrounding area.
Depending on the size of the space and soil type, we carefully excavate the crawl space to the desired depth using machines or by hand. We remove soil in small sections to maintain the stability of the foundation and prevent any collapse.
To ensure a clean and safe working site, we remove and dispose of soil in accordance with ecological standards. For this purpose we use buckets, wheelbarrows or small machinery.
Once the desired depth is reached, we can install waterproofing systems to protect the space from water damage. Also at this stage we stabilize the foundation using various methods and tools.
Verify that all work has been completed well and according to plan. The crawl space is completely ready for use.The Willfix team guarantees the quality of their work, so you’ll be satisfied with the result.

Internal basement waterproofing is the ideal solution for protecting your home’s foundation. It solves water problems from the inside out: stopping dampness from entering and draining any seepage through an internal floor drain or a well-designed drainage system.
Such services are appropriate when a home has exterior features such as air conditioning units or valuable landscaping. Therefore, in cases where exterior excavation would be very expensive and damaging, the interior method is recommended because it provides easier access and maintenance right from the basement.
A wise investment in keeping your basement dry is ensuring the safety and structural integrity of your home. Willfix has the expertise to protect your home by providing customer-specific services.
