We’ve been serving Clemons, NY since 1997. What started as a logging operation became a full-time excavation company in 2020, with Josh’s son joining as partner in 2022.
Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. This isn’t about being the cheapest option – it’s about being your excavator forever through exceptional care and value.
For families in the Clemons area, septic systems need regular maintenance every two to three years for a family of four, or every four to five years for smaller families. We’re here for the long haul, not just the installation.
Understanding local regulations and soil conditions in your area ensures your system works properly. We start with soil testing and site evaluation to determine the best system design for your property.
Next comes permit applications and plan approvals through the local health department. Monroe County requires construction inspections of wastewater treatment facility installations for both new development and repairs. We handle the coordination with inspectors.
Excavation begins once permits are approved. We carefully dig the tank and leach field areas, install the tank and distribution system, then connect all components. We use top-quality materials like PVC pipes, tanks, risers, and distribution boxes, utilizing advanced technologies to minimize disruption to your property. Final inspection and backfilling complete the process.

Several factors affect the final cost: soil type and drainage, distance from the house to the leach field, system complexity, and any special requirements from the health department. Rocky or clay soils may require additional excavation work, while sandy soils usually install more easily.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your property and understanding your specific needs. This upfront assessment prevents surprise costs during installation and ensures you know exactly what to expect.
Most septic system installations in Clemons, NY take 3-5 days once permits are approved and weather conditions are favorable. The timeline includes excavation, tank installation, leach field construction, and final inspections.
Permit approval can add 2-4 weeks to the overall timeline, depending on health department schedules and any plan revisions needed. Applications require completed forms, plans, and reports as outlined in the Monroe County Department of Public Health Plan Review Submission Guide.
Weather plays a significant role in scheduling. We avoid installation during frozen ground conditions or heavy rain periods that could compromise soil stability. Spring and fall typically offer the best installation conditions in the Clemons area.
Septic system installation in Clemons, NY requires permits from the local health department before any excavation begins. The process includes plan review and approval for on-site wastewater treatment systems, consultation with engineers and contractors, and construction inspections of new systems.
The permit application includes soil percolation tests, system design plans, and site surveys. These documents ensure your system meets local regulations and will function properly on your specific property. Professional soil testing is required to determine the appropriate system type and size.
We handle the permit application process for our customers, working directly with health department officials to ensure all requirements are met. This includes coordinating required inspections during installation and obtaining final approvals before the system goes into service.
The best septic system for Clemons, NY depends on your property’s specific soil conditions, which vary throughout the area. Understanding local soil conditions is important to ensure your system works properly. Soil testing determines whether you need a conventional system, raised sand bed, or alternative treatment system.
Sandy soils with good drainage typically work well with conventional septic systems, while clay or rocky soils may require raised sand bed systems or advanced treatment units. When solids become thick in poorly draining soils, they can float to the leach field and plug soil pores, diminishing the soil’s cleaning ability.
We evaluate your soil conditions during the initial site visit and recommend the most appropriate system type. Our experience with local soil variations helps us design systems that work reliably for decades, avoiding the problems that come from choosing the wrong system type.
For a family of four, septic tank cleaning should be done every two to three years to remove solids, because when solids become thick, they float out to the leach field and can cause problems. Regular pumping is the most important maintenance task for your new system.
Beyond pumping, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, limit household chemicals that kill beneficial bacteria, and spread laundry loads throughout the week rather than doing them all at once. Just like your car, your septic tank needs routine maintenance to continue working efficiently and have a long, healthy life.
Watch for warning signs like slow drains, sewage odors, or soggy areas over the leach field. These indicate potential problems that should be addressed quickly. We’re available for ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep your system functioning properly for years to come.
Winter septic system installation in Clemons, NY is possible but depends on ground conditions and weather patterns. Frozen ground makes excavation difficult and expensive, while snow cover can complicate site access and inspection requirements.
We typically recommend scheduling installations for spring through fall when ground conditions are more favorable. This timing ensures proper soil compaction, easier excavation, and better working conditions for our crew. Winter installations may require additional costs for frost protection and extended timelines.
If you need emergency septic replacement during winter months, we can work with specialized equipment and techniques to complete the installation. However, planning ahead for spring installation usually provides better results at lower costs, with more predictable scheduling and optimal soil conditions for long-term system performance.
