Common excavation services problems and solutions in Geelong 3220
These are the most frequent issues Geelong 3220 homeowners encounter that require a excavation, along with whether each is a realistic DIY repair or a job for a licensed professional.
Hitting underground services during excavation Hire a pro
Dial Before You Dig (1100 in Australia) is a free, legally required step before any excavation deeper than 100 mm. Striking a gas main, electrical cable or telco conduit has serious safety and financial consequences. A licensed excavation contractor will lodge a Dial Before You Dig enquiry, vacuum-excavate (pot-holing) to locate service depths, and carry liability insurance for service strikes.
Unstable excavation walls causing collapse risk Hire a pro
Unsupported excavations deeper than 1.5 m in cohesionless soils (sand, gravel) or saturated clay create a collapse risk — this is a workplace health and safety offence in all Australian states if not properly benched or shored. An excavation contractor will assess soil type, groundwater conditions and adjacent structures and implement appropriate shoring or batter before proceeding.
Access constraints limiting machinery entry Hire a pro
Many Australian residential blocks have limited side access, requiring small excavators (1.5–3 tonne) or even manual excavation for pool, footing or drainage work in rear yards. A specialist excavation contractor will assess access, select the right machine size and quote for any required temporary fencing or lane closures if the machine must travel on the footpath.
