Why Starting with Site Preparation Saves You Headaches Later

Getting the site ready is the first step to avoiding water problems before your building goes up. Skipping this can lead to serious issues that cost more to fix later. Here's why site preparation is such an essential first step:

  • Prevents water pooling: Proper grading directs water away from your foundation and basement.
  • Creates a stable foundation: A firm, even ground helps support your structure and avoids cracking or shifting.
  • Supports drainage planning: Shaping the land helps water flow correctly and lowers erosion chances over time.
  • Reduces construction delays: Ready land lets builders start work easily without interruptions or setbacks.
  • Protects Your Investment: Solid groundwork avoids expensive fixes and keeps your project on time and on budget.

How Skid Steer Equipment Helps Us Do the Job Right

Skid steers are powerful, compact machines that make site prep more efficient. At Thomas Waterproofing, we use skid steer tools for grading, clearing brush, digging trenches, backfilling, and more. Their size allows them to navigate them easily even in tight spaces. With multiple tool attachments, we can get more done with fewer machines. This means less time on site prep and more accuracy, giving you a strong, dry base for building foundation and drainage systems.
