Septic & sewer line excavation · Wayne County, NY
Septic & Sewer Excavation
Septic systems and sewer connections are mostly digging, and the digging has to match the design and pass inspection. We excavate for new septic systems, replacement tanks and leach fields, and sewer laterals, and we coordinate with your system designer and the inspector.

Scope · Septic & Sewer
Septic and sewer excavation
New septic system excavation
Digging for the tank, distribution box and leach field according to the approved design.
Septic tank replacement
Removing a failed or undersized tank and setting a new one.
Leach field replacement
Excavating and rebuilding a failed absorption field.
Sewer laterals
Trenching for the sewer line between the house and the municipal main.
Sewer line repair
Digging down to broken, collapsed or root-damaged sections of pipe.
Backfill and restoration
Backfilling and grading the area once the work has been inspected.
Approach
Working from the design
New and replacement septic systems in New York generally need a design and approval before installation, often from a licensed design professional and the local or county health department. We excavate to that design: tank location and depth, field layout and elevations. Work is typically left open for inspection before it's covered.
Sewer connections have their own rules, set by the municipality, for where and how a lateral ties into the main. Every job starts with a utility locate request through 811 so buried lines are marked before we dig. When a new home also needs a water service line, the two trenches are planned together to keep the lines properly separated.
FAQ · Septic & Sewer
Common questions
Have a question that isn't here? Call 585-649-2058 or send a request.
Do you design septic systems?
No. A septic system needs a design from a qualified professional, and we excavate to that plan. If you don't have a designer yet, ask us and we'll explain how the process usually works.
How do I know my septic system is failing?
Common signs are soggy ground or lush green patches over the leach field, sewage odors, slow drains, or backups. A septic service company can pump and inspect the tank to help confirm what's wrong.
How long will my yard be torn up?
It depends on the size of the system and when the inspection happens. We backfill and rough grade after the work is approved, and we'll tell you what to expect for final grading and seeding.
Can you dig for a sewer hookup?
Yes. We trench for sewer laterals from the house to the main. Your municipality may require a permit and inspection for the connection, and we'll work within their requirements.
Is the area marked for utilities before you dig?
Yes. Utility locates are requested through 811 before any excavation, so electric, gas, water and communication lines are marked before digging starts.
