Excavation Contractors in Lake Shore, WA

Excavation contractors in Lake Shore work in a compact community on the east side of Vancouver Lake. It covers just 1.64 square miles at about 217 feet and counted 7,056 residents in 2020, up from 6,571 in 2010. It borders Felida to the northwest, Salmon Creek to the northeast, Hazel Dell to the southeast and Vancouver to the south.

Near the lake

Lots closer to Vancouver Lake and its lowlands are wetter, with shoreline and wetland rules near the water. Uphill lots send runoff toward them, so drainage is a shared concern.

Established neighborhood

Lake Shore first appeared as a census-designated place in 1990 with 6,268 residents, so most homes are decades old. Sewer laterals, water lines, drainage and teardowns are the common jobs.

Common Lake Shore jobs

• Sewer and water line trenching
• French drains and tightlines
• Garage and ADU footings
• Concrete removal

County permits

Lake Shore is unincorporated, so Clark County handles permits and shoreline review.

Tight lots

With more than 4,000 people per square mile, lots are small. Compact equipment and careful staging are standard.

Lower ground, slower drainage

The lower parts of the community near the lake drain slowly and stay wet into spring. Drywells may not work there, so water often has to be piped to another approved outlet.

Neighbors close by

With homes close together, we plan staging so driveways stay open and keep spoil off shared property lines.

Replacing old lines

Homes that have stood since before 1990 often have aging sewer laterals and water services. We excavate for replacements, keep trenches narrow on small lots, and restore lawns and walks afterward. Where a line runs under a driveway, we saw-cut a clean strip rather than breaking out the whole slab.
