What We Offer

Homeowners and business owners who are planning to install a septic tank on their property face a number of important choices. One of the most critical decisions is choosing the right type of septic tank for their needs. There are various types of septic tanks and the best type of septic tank for a particular property depends on a variety of factors, including climate, soil type, and budget. The following is a brief overview of some of the most common types of septic tanks that we install:

  • Steel Septic Tank

    Steel septic tanks are made from high-quality material to last longer with durability. These Septic Tanks were built for average daily use, so they can handle the wear and tear without breaking down easily like other types of plastic or metal ones might do over time due in part to poor construction techniques.


    A steel septic tank can last for many years, provided it is properly maintained. The key to a steel tank's longevity is to prevent rust and corrosion. This can be done by regularly inspecting the tank for any signs of damage and repairing any leaks promptly.


    The tank should also be pumped out every three to five years to remove any solids that have accumulated. By following these simple steps, a steel septic tank can provide years of reliable service.


    Our contractors are experienced in the installation of steel septic tanks and can advise you on the best type of tank for your needs. Get in touch with D R Excavation today to learn more about our septic services.

  • Fiberglass Septic Tank

    Fiberglass septic tanks are designed to provide a long-term solution for waste management. Unlike concrete or plastic tanks, fiberglass tanks will not rust, corrode, or degrade over time.


    In addition, the smooth, non-porous surface of fiberglass makes it much easier to clean and disinfect than other types of materials. Fiberglass septic tanks are also incredibly strong and durable, able to withstand the weight of heavy trucks and machinery.


    Fiberglass septic tanks are an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications. In order to function properly, fiberglass septic tanks must be installed on a level piece of ground.


    Our contractors are well equipt and experienced in the installation of fiberglass septic tanks. We will work with you to ensure that your tank is installed properly and in compliance with all local codes and regulations.

  • Plastic Septic Tank

    Most septic systems are made of concrete, but plastic septic tanks are becoming more popular. Plastic septic tanks have a number of advantages over concrete tanks, including being lighter in weight and less expensive.


    Plastic septic tanks are usually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is a strong and durable material. The tank is typically buried underground, with just the lid sticking out. There is an inlet pipe that brings wastewater into the tank, and an outlet pipe that takes treated water away. Inside the tank, there is a baffle system that helps to separate the solid and liquid waste. As the wastewater enters the tank, the solids settle to the bottom, while the liquids rise to the top. The liquids then pass through the baffle system and out of the outlet pipe. The solids remain in the tank, where they are broken down by bacteria.


    Overall, plastic septic tanks are an efficient and cost-effective way to treat wastewater. If you're considering installing a septic system, be sure to hire D R Excavation, our contractors are experienced in the installation of plastic septic tanks. And we will go a long way to ensure that your tank is installed properly and will provide you with 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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
