Home/Services/Septic Excavation

Tank pits.
Drain-field trenches.
Done right.

We dig the excavation side of septic work — tank pits and drain-field trenches — for your licensed installer, keeping the schedule moving and the hole where it needs to be.

Septic Excavation

The hole.
Not the hookup.

Let's be straight up front: we're the excavation side of the operation, not the licensed septic installer. In Oregon, the folks who actually install and permit your septic system need a DEQ-licensed installer and/or engineer. What we do is the dirt work — digging the tank pit and trenching the drain field — alongside the installer who's running the project.

What we do

  • Tank pits. Excavated to the installer's spec, squared up, and ready for the tank drop.
  • Drain-field trenches. Clean, straight, to grade, and to the spec the installer hands us.
  • Access. Clear a route for the tank truck so they can get in and out.
  • Backfill. Cover the system after the installer signs off.
  • Site restoration. Grade the surface back down so you wouldn't know we'd been there (except the whole thing works now).

Who we work with

Tell us who your installer is and we'll coordinate directly. Don't have one? We can point you to a few local installers we've worked with. For the permit side, you'll want to talk to Linn County Environmental Health or your installer — neither of which is us, but we can help you find the right person.
