Frequently Asked Questions

In some cases, it is possible to remain in the home during basement excavation, but this depends on the project’s complexity, building layout, and safety measures in place. Still, temporary relocation is often recommended for comfort and safety.

Consider the following factors:

• Restricted basement access: excavated areas are closed off to prevent accidents.
• Noise and dust: daily disturbances occur, especially during digging and underpinning.
• Vibration risk: some equipment may cause noticeable shaking.
• Temporary service interruptions: water, power, or heating may be affected at times.
• Household sensitivity: families with children or health conditions may benefit from moving out temporarily.

Each project includes a tailored plan to minimize disruption. To determine if staying in your home during excavation is feasible, contact Heneault Gosselin.
