This is a great reminder for homeowners in Northern BC. Water pooling beside the house might not seem like a big deal right now, but once it freezes, it can contribute to shifting, cracks and moisture problems around the foundation.

If you’ve noticed water collecting where it shouldn’t, it’s worth figuring out why before winter sets in.

🏠🍂 Built for the North means thinking about water before it becomes ice.

In Northern B.C., good drainage is a big part of protecting a home through the changing seasons.

Proper grading helps direct water away from the foundation. Eavestroughs and well-placed downspouts keep roof runoff from collecting beside the house. Foundation drainage helps move groundwater away before it can create moisture problems around the structure.

Why does that matter here?

Because once temperatures start dropping, water that sits where it shouldn’t can freeze, expand and contribute to movement, cracking, frost-related damage and moisture issues.

A well-built home doesn’t just deal with winter when the snow arrives. It is designed to manage water all year long — before that first hard freeze ever shows up. ❄️🔨

That’s part of what it means to build for the North.

Some of our best work ends up buried underground!

Nobody wants to think about their sewer line…until it stops working. Our crew excavated the area to locate and expose the problem, then teamed up with some of our trusted plumber friends to complete the repair. Once the new pipe was in place, we bedded it in sand, backfilled the excavation, and restored the yard to the homeowner’s preferred finish.

Not your average excavation job!

Our crew recently headed indoors to complete a water-line repair beneath the floor of a local restaurant. With no room for equipment, the concrete was removed and the area was carefully excavated by hand to reach the line several feet below.

Once the repair was complete, everything was backfilled, and the concrete floor was restored. It was a challenging job in a unique location, and exactly the kind of problem-solving our crew enjoys!

Hodgins Excavating provides commercial excavation, water and sewer repairs, drainage, demolition and site services throughout Prince George and the surrounding area.

Now THESE are the jobs we love!

A whole lot of stumps, some hard work, and one very busy skid steer later… what a difference!
There’s nothing better than clearing out a property and leaving behind a clean slate.

This lot had definitely seen better days, with some serious potholes and rough areas throughout. Our crew got to work repairing, grading and cleaning it up, and we’re pretty proud of the difference. It’s now much smoother, cleaner and ready to get back to work!

Another site cleaned up and ready for the next phase!

These old ATCO trailers required asbestos abatement before demolition and cleanup could begin. Once the site was safe and cleared for work, our crew got the job done and left it clean and ready for future use.

Who doesn't love a good before and after?!

A fresh driveway recap can make a huge difference. We removed the overgrown vegetation, re-shaped the surface, and added new gravel to create a clean, durable driveway that's built to last.

Not every big project makes for glamorous photos… but this one made a big impact. 💧

Our team recently completed a 4” water service replacement for two multi-family apartment buildings. Thousands of pounds of material moved, precision excavation, tight timelines, and another critical infrastructure project successfully delivered.

This is the kind of work most people never see… but everyone depends on.

Proud of this crew. 👏
