What We Offer

If a homeowner or business owner incorrectly chooses a septic tank based on short-term cost savings, they may face significant problems down the road.

To make sure that this doesn't happen, it's important to learn about the different types of septic tanks before installing. The following are the lists of septic tanks our contractors usually install

  • Steel Septic Tank

    Installing a septic tank is a big job, and it's important to make sure that it's done properly. That's why D R Excavation offers steel septic tank installation.


    Steel septic tanks are built to last, and they're able to withstand the weight of heavy machinery. They are also airtight, which prevents odors from escaping and helps to keep the sewage contained.


    In addition, steel septic tanks are less likely to crack or leak than concrete septic tanks. As a result, they are an ideal choice for homeowners and business owners who want a reliable and efficient wastewater treatment system.


    When you choose our contractors for your septic tank installation, you can be confident that you're getting quality workmanship and a product that will last. Contact us today to learn more about our steel septic tank installation services.

  • Fiberglass Septic Tank

    D R Excavation is offering the installation of fiberglass septic tanks! Fiberglass septic tanks have a number of advantages over traditional concrete or plastic tanks.


    They are lightweight, making them easier to transport and install. They are also corrosion-resistant and impermeable, meaning they will not leach harmful chemicals into the soil or groundwater.


    In addition, fiberglass tanks are much more durable than their concrete or plastic counterparts, and they are also less likely to crack or collapse. They can provide many years of trouble-free service.


    If you are interested in having a fiberglass septic tank installed, please contact D R Excavation today. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible products and services.

  • Plastic Septic Tank

    D R Excavation is also offering the installation of plastic septic tanks. Plastic septic tanks have a number of advantages over traditional concrete or steel tanks. They are lightweight, making them easier to transport and install.


    Plastic septic tanks are less expensive than concrete tanks and are less likely to crack or leak. A plastic septic tank can last upwards of 50 years with the proper maintenance.


    This type of tank is made from high-density polyethylene, which is a sturdy material that is resistant to corrosion and degradation. In order to extend the life of a plastic septic tank, it is important to have it regularly inspected and pumped.


    Additionally, the tank should be located in an area with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your plastic septic tank will provide many years of reliable service.

Our Process

Septic tank installation is a complex process that should only be carried out by experienced professionals. Our contractors are efficient and experienced and will make sure that your septic tank is installed correctly the first time. The following is a brief overview of our septic tank installation process

  • 1. Dig A Hole

    The first step is to dig a hole for the septic tank. This hole should be large enough to accommodate the size of the septic tank that you have chosen.


    Once the hole has been dug, the septic tank will be placed inside and buried.

  • 2. Sit the Tank

    Next, the septic tank is placed into the hole.


    Again, it is important to make sure that the tank is properly positioned and level before proceeding.

  • 3. Backfill the Hole

    Once the septic tank is in place, the hole is then backfilled with soil.


    The soil should be packed tightly around the tank to ensure stability.

  • 4. Install a Septic Drainage Field

    After the septic tank has been installed, a septic drainage field must be installed.


    This is a system of pipes that carries the wastewater from the septic tank to a suitable area for dispersal.

  • 5. Connect the Pipes

    The final step is to connect the septic tank to the home's plumbing system.


    This is done by connecting a pipe from the septic tank to the main sewer line.

  • 6. Fit the Manhole Cover

    Once all the pipes have been connected, a manhole cover is placed over the septic tank.


    This cover prevents anyone from accessing the tank and ensures that the system works correctly.

FAQ's About Septic Installation

  • How much does septic tank installation cost?

    The cost of septic tank installation can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the size and type of tank, the complexity of the installation, and the property conditions.


    The size of the tank is one of the most important factors, as a larger tank will be more expensive to install. The type of tank can also affect the cost, with concrete tanks being more expensive than plastic tanks.


    The complexity of the installation is another important factor, as a more complex installation will require more time and labor. Property conditions can affect the cost, as difficult or rocky terrain can make the installation process more challenging.


    Septic tanks require regular maintenance in order to function properly. By considering all of these factors, you can get a better sense of how much septic tank installation will cost.

  • What are the signs that your septic tank needs to be emptied?

    When a septic tank is full, it can cause a lot of problems for the homeowner and will start to smell. This is because the septic tank is full of sewage and other waste materials that start to decompose and give off a foul odor.


    The drains will start to back up and this happens because the septic tank is not able to process all of the waste material and it starts to build up in the pipes. Also, the ground around the septic tank will start to sink.


    This happens because the septic tank is taking up space that was previously occupied by soil. When the septic tank is full, it can cause a lot of problems and it will need to be emptied. If you notice any of these signs, you should contact a septic tank contractor to have the tank emptied.

  • How long does a septic tank last?

    A septic tank is a key element in a home’s wastewater system. It is a watertight chamber that stores sewage so that it can decompose and treat before being discharged into the environment. While septic tanks are built to last, there are measures that must be taken to ensure their longevity.


    First, it is important to have the tank inspected regularly by a professional. This will help to identify any potential issues and allow them to be addressed before they cause major damage. Second, be sure to pump out the tank on a regular basis. This will remove any solid waste that has accumulated and prevent the tank from becoming overloaded.


    Finally, make sure to avoid placing any foreign objects into your home’s wastewater system, as this can clog the septic tank and lead to serious problems. By taking these simple steps, you can help ensure that your septic tank will continue to function properly for many years to come.

  • What are the most common causes of septic tank failure?

    The most common causes of septic tank failure are lack of maintenance and overuse. Without proper maintenance, the tank will not be able to function properly and will eventually fail. Overuse can also cause the tank to fail, as too much water can overload the system. If you think your septic tank is failing, you should contact a septic tank contractor to have it inspected.


    When the tank fails, sewage can back up into the home or business, causing health and safety concerns. In addition, the failure of a septic tank can be a very costly repair. By understanding the most common causes of septic tank failure, you can help prevent these issues.

  • Why is it necessary to maintain my septic system operating properly?

    Maintaining your septic system is necessary to prevent sewage backups, slow drains, strong odors, and other issues. Septic tanks can be a major source of frustration, especially when they’re not maintained properly.


    Our contractors can help with overflowing sewage which is one of the most common and frustrating problems associated with septic tanks. If your tank is full, sewage can back up into your home, causing a serious health hazard. The solid waste in the tank can clog the drain field.


    This can lead to slow drains and even sewage backups. Another common complaint about septic tanks is the bad odor they can produce. This is usually due to a build-up of methane gas, which can be dangerous if it accumulates in enclosed spaces.


    In addition, regular maintenance can extend the life of your septic system. By having your septic system inspected and serviced regularly, you can help ensure that it will function properly for many years. Our contractors are focused on safety and have the experience and expertise to properly maintain your septic system.

  • What is septic system installation?

    Septic system installation is the process of installing a septic tank and drains field on your property. This is typically done by a septic tank contractor. The first step in the process is to excavate a hole for the septic tank. Next, the tank is installed and connected to the drain field.


    Finally, the area around the septic system is backfilled and graded. Septic system installation can be a complex process, so it’s important to hire a qualified contractor to handle the job.

  • How often should a septic tank be serviced?

    Septic tanks should be serviced every three to five years. However, the frequency of service will depend on a number of factors, including the size and type of tank, the level of use, and the amount of maintenance.


    If you have any questions about how often your septic tank should be serviced, you should contact a septic tank contractor.
