Bobcats for Hire can easily outperform larger equipment in many site conditions. Our equipment uses wide, rubber tracks that lend themselves nicely to a variety of site conditions. These wide track machines enable our company to work in areas where others can not, and also allow for a speedier installation of the project. Our professional operators will have your site work done on time using state of the art rubber track equipment. If your site improvements include drainage issues, our rubber track skid steer machines will allow for the installation at any time of the year giving you that much needed flexibility during inclement weather. Our articulated excavators allow for digging in compact areas and also against a building which is usually needed when addressing a leaky basement.

No matter what your architect has planned for the site improvements, Bobcats for Hire is prepared to handle your toughest assignments.

Our 337 Excavator easily lifts this concrete seepage pit to place it at a precise elevation to disburse water collected onsite.  This tank is designed to allow water to flow out all sides and also the open bottom.  Several feet of stone are placed below and around the tank as well as in a rectangular area over six hundred cubic feet.  This design allows for storm water run off remaining onsite without causing flooding problems to either the property owner or his neighbors.  This is accomplished with a large area of excavated earth filled with loose stone and into which water is directed for infiltration into the ground.  Many towns today will require storm water to remain onsite when building a new addition to an existing home. It is an environmentally friendly manner to dispose of your storm and drain water without adversely affecting one's neighbors.

Our Bobcat compact track Excavators have the distinct advantage over a traditional backhoe because they can articulate their booms thereby allowing them to excavate immediately adjacent to a building’s foundation.  This is critical in exterior foundation drain installations which are frequently used to waterproof a basement with a gravity type system. One of the many advantages to installing an exterior foundation drain to remove water via gravity is that it takes away the lifeblood of mold and mildew. Our French Drain systems designed with Paraseal's combined rubber and Bentonite membrane will not only remove the water seeping into your foundation, but also remove the source for mold that is growing in your damp walls. Studies have shown that mold spores can be harmful to the health of a home's occupants, and also that by eliminating the source of water completely can also kill the mold. Many businesses attempt to cure a home's flooding basement with an "indoor" style French Drain. This type of system lacks several key benefits of an exterior gravity system. First and foremost, an interior type system encourages the water to flow through your foundation walls which by definition keeps the walls wet and hospitable to mold spores. An exterior foundation drain properly designed will keep your home's foundation walls dry and safe from the weakening structural effects of constant dampness. Second, an "interior" French Drain doesn't actually get rid of the water. Instead it directs the water into a small swimming pool in your basement. not only does this pose a potential safety hazard for small children, but also it forces you to rely on electricity and a mechanical pump to keep your basement dry during a heavy storm. Everyone has experienced a power failure during a storm, and it's most likely that a pump will fail when you need it the most. These are among the reasons why an exterior gravity based foundation drain is a much more efficient and reliable method for drying up your basement. Thirdly, an exterior drainage system has the added benefit of also drying up your lawn and landscape so that pets and children have a cleaner environment in which to play in. No "interior" type drainage system can accomplish all of that and operate with no moving parts, electricity or maintenance!!!
