Excavation Contractors in Chickamauga, GA

Excavation contractors in Chickamauga work in a small Walker County, Georgia, city incorporated in 1891 just south of the Chickamauga battlefield. Its namesake, Chickamauga Creek, runs nearby, and Crawfish Spring on Cove Road was the town's water supply into the mid-20th century. The city had 2,917 residents in 2020 and averages about 57 inches of rain a year.

Springs and groundwater

A spring strong enough to supply a town is a sign of high groundwater and limestone underneath. Basements and crawlspaces near springs and the creek can stay damp, and drainage must avoid sinks.

Industrial past

The Durham Iron and Coal Company ran coke ovens on the north side of town from 1891, peaking in 1904. The Crystal Springs Bleachery operated from 1909 until 2013. Old industrial ground can hold fill and foundations.

Historic homes

The Gordon-Lee Mansion, begun in 1840, and Lee and Gordon's Mill are nearby landmarks. Older homes in town need careful work around old foundations.

Lee and Gordon's Mill

One of the oldest mills in Georgia stands on the west bank of Chickamauga Creek about two miles east of town. The creek valley is wet ground.

Rain

With about 57 inches of rain a year, grading here needs outlets planned before the finish grade.
