You’re not just getting a septic system—you’re getting decades of reliable waste management without the headaches. When your septic system is installed correctly the first time, you avoid the costly repairs, environmental issues, and property damage that come with poor workmanship.
Your family can use water normally without worrying about backups, odors, or system failures. Your property value stays protected, and you meet all local regulations without surprise violations or fines down the road.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing a family business that’s been doing this for 27 years stands behind the work—not some fly-by-night contractor who disappears after cashing your check.
We’ve been serving Holcombville and surrounding areas since 1997, transitioning to full-time excavation in 2020. We’re a close-knit family operation where owner Josh is present on almost every job—something you won’t find with larger companies.
We started as a logging business and evolved into excavation because we saw too many homeowners getting burned by contractors who took shortcuts or disappeared mid-project. Our approach is different: we’re building relationships, not just installing septic systems.
When Holcombville homeowners need septic installation, they know we’ll be here tomorrow if something needs attention. That’s the difference between a local family business and everyone else.
First, we evaluate your property’s soil conditions and determine the right system type for your specific situation in Holcombville. We handle all the permitting and design work so you don’t have to navigate local regulations alone.
Next, we excavate the tank area and drain field using our own equipment—no rental delays or equipment issues. We install your septic tank and distribution system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes, not shortcuts that save time but cost you later.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before backfilling and restoration. You get a system that’s ready to handle your family’s needs from day one, plus our commitment to address any concerns that come up. The whole process typically takes 3-5 days depending on soil conditions and system complexity.

Your septic system installation includes the complete system—tank, distribution box, drain field, and all connecting pipes. We size everything based on your home’s bedroom count and expected usage, not generic recommendations that might leave you undersized.
In Holcombville’s soil conditions, we typically install conventional gravity systems for most properties, though some situations require advanced treatment systems. We handle soil testing, system design, excavation, installation, and final inspection—everything needed for a functioning system.
You also get our knowledge of local regulations and soil conditions that comes from 27 years in the business. We know which systems work best in different areas around Holcombville and can guide you toward options that fit your budget and property requirements without overselling unnecessary upgrades.
Septic system installation in Holcombville typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on system type, property conditions, and tank size. Conventional gravity systems are on the lower end, while advanced treatment systems cost more but may be required for certain soil conditions.
The biggest cost factors are your home’s size (which determines tank size), soil conditions, and accessibility for our equipment. Properties with challenging soil or tight access cost more due to additional labor and specialized equipment needs.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific property because cookie-cutter pricing often leads to surprise costs later. Our goal is transparent pricing upfront so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
Most septic installations in Holcombville take 3-5 working days from start to finish, weather permitting. This includes excavation, system installation, testing, backfilling, and site restoration.
The timeline can extend if we encounter unexpected soil conditions, bedrock, or need additional permitting. We’ll let you know about any delays immediately rather than leaving you wondering what’s happening with your project.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and coordinate with other contractors if you’re building a new home. Our goal is completing quality work on schedule, not rushing through to get to the next job.
Most Holcombville properties work well with conventional gravity systems, which are reliable and cost-effective for typical soil conditions in the area. These systems use gravity to move wastewater from your home to the septic tank and then to the drain field.
Properties with high water tables, clay soil, or limited space may require advanced systems like aerobic treatment units or engineered systems. We determine the right system type during our site evaluation based on soil testing and local regulations.
The key is matching the system to your specific property conditions rather than choosing based on price alone. A properly matched system lasts longer and requires less maintenance than trying to force the wrong system type onto your property.
Yes, septic system installation in Holcombville requires permits from the local health department and possibly other agencies depending on your property’s location and environmental factors. We handle all permitting as part of our installation service.
The permit process includes soil testing, system design approval, and inspections during installation. This ensures your system meets current environmental regulations and protects groundwater quality in the area.
We’ve worked with local officials for years and understand the specific requirements for Holcombville properties. This experience helps avoid delays and ensures your system passes inspection the first time rather than requiring costly corrections later.
Most properties in Holcombville can support septic systems, but soil conditions and lot size determine what type of system works best. We conduct soil testing and site evaluation to determine your property’s suitability and system requirements.
Key factors include soil percolation rate, water table depth, lot size, and setback requirements from wells, property lines, and buildings. Properties with challenging conditions aren’t necessarily unsuitable—they may just require different system types.
We’ll evaluate your property and explain your options clearly, including any limitations or special requirements. Our goal is finding a solution that works for your property and budget, not talking you out of installation because of challenges that can be addressed with proper system selection.
New septic systems in Holcombville require pumping every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage patterns. Regular pumping prevents solids from accumulating and potentially damaging your drain field, which is expensive to replace.
Beyond pumping, basic maintenance includes avoiding excessive water usage, not flushing non-biodegradable items, and having the system inspected if you notice slow drains or odors. Most maintenance is preventive rather than reactive.
We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your system type and can recommend local pumping services familiar with the systems we install. Proper maintenance extends system life significantly and prevents most common problems that lead to expensive repairs or replacements.
