We’ve been serving Adamsville and Washington County since 1997, starting as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation in 2020. Our son joined as a partner in 2022, making us a true family operation.

Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We’re not just another excavating company – we aim to be your excavator forever by providing exceptional care rather than just cheap labor.
First, we handle the permit applications and work with your local health department to ensure all paperwork is approved before we start. We also conduct soil testing and site evaluation to determine the best system type for your property.
Next, we use GPS-guided excavation equipment to dig precisely to specifications. We install the septic tank, distribution box, and leach field according to New York State regulations. Our equipment and local experience mean proper grading for drainage and no damage to existing utilities.
Finally, we coordinate inspections with local authorities, backfill and grade the area properly, and clean up the site completely. You get a system that’s ready to use and built to last decades with proper maintenance.

Your septic system installation includes soil testing, permit applications, excavation, tank and field installation, proper grading, and final inspection coordination. We handle every step so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
In Adamsville’s clay soils and varying terrain, proper installation is critical. We account for seasonal water table changes, ensure adequate separation from wells and property lines, and install systems sized correctly for your household needs.
You also get access to information about New York State’s septic system replacement fund, which can reimburse up to $10,000 for conventional systems or $25,000 for enhanced systems in qualifying areas. We help navigate these programs to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Septic system installation in Adamsville typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000 depending on system type, soil conditions, and property access. Conventional systems cost less, while advanced treatment systems required for challenging soil conditions cost more.
The total includes permits, soil testing, excavation, tank and field installation, and final inspection. We provide detailed estimates upfront with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins.
New York State offers reimbursement programs that can cover up to $10,000 for conventional systems or $25,000 for enhanced systems. We help you navigate these programs to minimize your costs while ensuring proper installation.
You need a septic system permit from Washington County Health Department before installation can begin. This requires submitting detailed system plans, soil test results, and property surveys for approval.
We handle the entire permit process, including working with engineers to design systems that meet local regulations. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on system complexity and health department workload.
All installations must also pass final inspection before the system can be used. We coordinate these inspections and ensure everything meets code requirements so you don’t face delays or compliance issues.
Most residential septic installations in Adamsville take 3-5 days once permits are approved and weather cooperates. Simple conventional systems on easy-access properties can be completed faster, while complex systems or challenging terrain may take longer.
The timeline includes excavation, tank and field installation, backfilling, grading, and cleanup. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you informed of progress throughout the project.
Weather can impact timelines, especially during spring thaw or heavy rain periods when soil conditions aren’t suitable for excavation. We plan around these conditions and adjust schedules as needed to ensure proper installation.
Adamsville’s clay soils and seasonal water table changes significantly impact septic system design and installation. Clay doesn’t drain well, often requiring enhanced systems or alternative designs like mound systems or sand filters.
We conduct percolation tests to determine soil drainage rates and design systems accordingly. Properties with high water tables, shallow bedrock, or poor drainage may need advanced treatment systems that cost more but work better long-term.
Our local experience means we understand how different areas of Adamsville drain and what challenges to expect. This prevents surprises during installation and ensures your system works properly in local soil conditions.
Yes, we coordinate all required inspections with Washington County Health Department as part of our installation service. This includes pre-installation permit inspections and final inspections before system activation.
We ensure everything meets current New York State regulations before calling for inspection, preventing delays or failed inspections that require rework. Our experience with local inspectors helps streamline the process.
After installation, we provide information about ongoing maintenance requirements, including recommended inspection and pumping schedules to keep your system functioning properly for decades.
We can install septic systems most of the year in Adamsville, but timing depends on ground conditions and weather. Spring through fall typically offers the best conditions for excavation and proper soil compaction.
Winter installations are possible during mild periods when ground isn’t frozen, but we avoid installation during spring thaw when soil is saturated and unstable. This prevents settling issues and ensures proper system performance.
We schedule installations based on optimal conditions for your specific property and system type. This approach ensures proper installation rather than rushing work during unsuitable conditions that could cause problems later.
