Clean dirt from rocks under house space ahead of waterproofing works

$250

St Ives NSW, Australia

29th Apr 2025

There is a large void under the house. We’re trying to waterproof it but water keeps seeping in. We need to clear the existing dirt off the rock slab to see if there are hidden cracks we need to waterproof again. The job is to brush/wash/scrape all dirt off the top of the rock until it is clean and all cracks and gaps are visible. The dirt is typically only about 10mm thick but up to 50mm in places and a couple of small piles of rubble too. This job isn’t about heavy lifting or strength, more about attention to detail and working in a small-ish space. There is a minimum of 600mm of height to work in. The dirt cleared off the rock needs to be shovelled up and placed at rear of the garden. You will need to bring your own tools (brush, short handled shovel, suggest a dusk mask etc) but can use anything you can find here too. Water supply is nearby if needed.
