We’ve been serving Sabbath Day Point since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation in 2020, and now Josh works alongside his son to deliver the kind of quality you can only get from a family business.

Sabbath Day Point’s soil conditions and local regulations require someone who knows the area. We’ve worked with the local health department, understand the permitting process, and know how to navigate the unique challenges that come with building in this part of New York.
Your septic system installation starts with a site evaluation to determine the best location and system type for your property. We handle the permit applications and work directly with local authorities to ensure everything meets code.
Excavation begins with careful marking of utilities and property lines. We dig with precision, protecting your existing landscape and minimizing disruption to your construction timeline. The septic tank and distribution box are positioned according to engineered specifications.
Once the system is installed and inspected, we backfill and restore the area. You’ll receive documentation of the installation and know exactly where everything is located for future reference. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days, depending on soil conditions and system complexity.

Day one typically involves excavation and site preparation. We locate and mark all utilities, then carefully excavate to the required depths. Day two focuses on tank installation, connecting distribution lines, and initial backfilling. Day three involves final grading, cleanup, and restoration.
We coordinate with your construction schedule to minimize delays. If you’re building a new home, we can time the installation to work perfectly with your foundation, plumbing, and final grading. Communication is key – you’ll always know what’s happening and when.
Sabbath Day Point’s soil conditions typically support conventional gravity-fed septic systems, but each property is unique. Soil testing determines the exact system type and size needed for your specific location.
Sandy soils drain quickly but may require larger distribution areas. Clay soils hold water longer, sometimes requiring alternative system designs. Rocky areas may need special excavation techniques or system modifications. Proximity to Lake George adds environmental considerations.
We perform comprehensive soil testing as part of our evaluation process. This isn’t just about meeting permit requirements – it’s about designing a system that will work reliably for decades. The right system for your soil conditions prevents failures, backups, and expensive repairs.
Yes, we handle complete septic system replacements in Sabbath Day Point. Replacement involves removing the old system, updating the design to current codes, and installing new components that meet today’s standards.
Older systems often fail due to outdated designs, poor maintenance, or normal wear over 20-30 years. Signs you need replacement include frequent backups, soggy areas around the tank, strong odors, or systems that require constant pumping.
Replacement projects are more complex than new installations because we’re working around existing structures and utilities. We take extra care to protect your landscaping, driveway, and home foundation. The process typically takes 3-4 days and includes complete site restoration.
Problems during septic installation are rare when you work with experienced contractors, but we’re prepared to handle unexpected situations like hitting ledge, finding underground utilities, or discovering poor soil conditions.
If we encounter ledge or large rocks, we have the equipment to handle rock removal safely. Unexpected utilities require careful hand-digging and coordination with utility companies. Poor soil conditions might require system design modifications or alternative installation methods.
We communicate immediately if any issues arise. You’ll understand what happened, why it affects the project, and what options are available. Our goal is to solve problems quickly while maintaining the quality and safety of your installation. Most issues add minimal time and cost when handled by experienced professionals.
