Septic System Installation
in West Memphis, AR
Tank pit excavation, drain field trenching, and full septic system prep — for residential and commercial properties throughout the Memphis metro and Eastern Arkansas.
Septic Excavation Done Right
— the First Time
A failing septic system is one of the most expensive and disruptive problems a property owner can face. The excavation side — tank placement, drain field trenches, gravel bedding — is where most of the cost and complexity lives. We handle that part completely, to spec, so your installer can drop the tank and run the lines.
New Septic Tank Excavation
Building on raw land and need a complete septic system excavation?
We dig the tank pit to proper depth, shape the inlet and outlet, and prepare the gravel bedding — everything the installer needs to set the tank and connect the lines.
Drain Field Trenching
Need drain field lines trenched to proper depth and grade?
We cut parallel trenches at the correct depth and spacing for your system type, backfill with clean gravel, and leave the lines ready for the piping and fabric.
Septic System Replacement
Existing system failing, drain field saturated, or tank collapsed?
We excavate the old system, remove debris, and prepare the new site to code. Whether it's a replacement conventional system or an advanced treatment unit, we get the site ready.
Mound System Preparation
Clay soil or high water table requiring a mound system?
Mound systems require precise grading and fill work. We shape the sand mound to engineering spec and prepare the pressure-dosed delivery bed — all part of a complete system prep.
Aerobic System Installation
Restricted lot or advanced treatment system required by county health?
Aerobic systems with pump tanks and spray fields require precise excavation for the tank, pump chamber, and lateral lines. We handle all the earthwork for these specialized systems.
Leach Bed / Absorption Area
Need a new leach bed or absorption area for an existing system?
We construct new leach bed areas — gravel-filled trenches dug to proper depth with sloped distribution lines — to expand or replace saturated absorption fields.
Site Prep Before the
Septic Installer Arrives
This Crittenden County property needed full site clearing before the septic system could be designed and installed. We removed heavy vegetation, graded the area, and prepared the drain field trenches to the exact depth specified by the county health department. The septic installer dropped the tank, ran the lines, and the system passed inspection on the first visit.
Good septic excavation is invisible — the system works for decades and nobody thinks about it. Bad septic excavation costs thousands to fix. We don't cut corners.
