Professional Septic System Installation

Installing a septic system is a big job that requires the right knowledge, equipment, and planning. At A&C Excavating Equipment, we coordinate with licensed plumbers and inspectors to ensure your system is installed correctly and to local health code standards.

Our septic installation process includes:

  • Site Evaluation & Planning – We’ll assess the land, soil, and space to determine the best placement and type of system.

  • Excavation – Using our heavy equipment, we’ll dig out trenches for piping, tanks, and drain fields with minimal disruption to your land.

  • Tank Placement – We set septic tanks carefully and backfill them properly to avoid settling or shifting.

  • Drain Field Installation – We trench and install leach lines with the correct slope and gravel bed to ensure proper flow and drainage.

  • Final Grading – Once installation is complete, we regrade the area to encourage good surface drainage and leave your property clean and level.

If you already have a plumber or septic designer, we’re happy to work alongside them to handle just the excavation and grading portions. We're here to support your project in whatever way works best for you.

Septic System Replacement & Upgrades

If your old septic system is failing, backing up, or no longer up to code, we can help you with a safe and efficient replacement. We’ll assess the existing system and remove tanks or components as needed before installing the new setup. Upgrades such as risers, filters, and improved access points can also be added to make future maintenance easier.

Common reasons for system replacement include:

  • Failed drain fields or tanks

  • Improper installation or system layout

  • Outdated or undersized systems

  • Additions or new buildings that increase wastewater volume

If you’re unsure whether your system needs to be replaced or just repaired, we’re happy to take a look and point you in the right direction.
