Basement Excavation & Clean-Outs
Basement digs for new homes, and basement clean-outs down to the walls after a tear-down or a fire.
Done Right the First Time
A basement dig sets the elevation for the whole house. Too deep and you're hauling in stone; too shallow and the plans don't work. The hole has to be the right size, the right depth and flat on the bottom.
Pistol Ridge Land Services digs basements for new homes across central Kentucky, and we clean out existing basements after a house has been demolished or burned. That second job takes a careful operator: a full-size excavator reaching into a basement without knocking in the walls you're trying to save.
Either way, you end up with a clean hole that your concrete crew or builder can walk straight into.
Basement work we handle

- Walk-out basement cuts on sloped lots
- Crawl space excavation
- Basement clean-outs after demolition or fire
- Backfill once the walls are up and cured

New construction
We dig to your builder's plans and elevations, keep the bottom level for the footers and stack the dirt where it's useful for backfill and final grade. If we hit rock, you hear about it right then.
Clean-outs after a tear-down
When a house comes down over a basement, the debris ends up in the hole. We pull it out, clean the floor and leave the walls standing if they're worth keeping. It pairs naturally with our demolition and grading work.

Basements FAQ
How much does it cost to dig a basement?
It depends on the size and depth of the basement, the slope of the lot, the soil and whether there's rock. We quote from your plans and a look at the lot.
What if you hit rock?
It happens in this part of Kentucky. We stop, show you what's there and go over the options before going further.
Can you save the basement walls when a house is torn down?
Often, yes. We work the debris out with the excavator and a skid steer and leave the walls standing if they're sound.
