When Septic Excavation Is Necessary

A septic system must be installed at the right depth, in the right soil, with proper drainage and grading. Whether you’re building a new home or replacing a failing system, excavation is where it all starts. It's the foundation for a functional, code-compliant septic setup that lasts for decades.

Septic excavation is needed when:

• Installing a septic tank and drain field for a new build
  
  
• Replacing an outdated or failed system
  
  
• Expanding a current system due to increased household demand
  
  
• Correcting improper grading or drainage issues
