At Cody's Excavation and Septic, we pride ourselves on guiding our customers through every step of their septic system experience.

Understanding the importance of a proper septic system installation is crucial. The installation phase lays the foundation for optimal system performance. At Cody's Excavation and Septic, we conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the best location and design for your septic system. Soil type, property layout, and local regulations all play pivotal roles in this decision-making process. Our experienced team ensures that each system is installed with precision, adhering to all necessary codes and standards. Proper installation not only maximizes efficiency but also prolongs the life of your system.

Once your septic system is up and running, regular maintenance becomes indispensable. This often-overlooked aspect is pivotal to the system's longevity. The key to effective maintenance lies in regular inspections and timely pumping. At Cody's Excavation and Septic, we recommend scheduling annual inspections to monitor the system's condition and address any issues before they escalate. Our skilled technicians conduct a comprehensive check-up, ensuring that every component is functioning optimally.

Pumping is another critical component of septic system maintenance. Over time, solid waste accumulates in the tank and must be removed to prevent blockages and overflow. Generally, pumping every three to five years is advisable, but this frequency can vary based on household size and usage. At Cody's Excavation and Septic, our team provides expert pumping services, using state-of-the-art equipment to maintain efficiency and minimize disruption to your property.

Education is an essential part of maintaining a healthy septic system. This involves understanding daily habits that can impact the system's performance. Being mindful of what goes down your drains, conserving water, and avoiding harsh chemicals are practices that can extend the life of your septic system. Cody's Excavation and Septic supplies new homeowners with vital information on caring for their systems, ensuring that everyone operates from a place of knowledge and preparedness.

Problems can arise, even with the best-maintained systems. Symptoms like slow drains, unpleasant odors, or unusually lush patches of grass can signal septic issues. When these signs appear, Cody's Excavation and Septic is ready to help. Our diagnostic services quickly identify problems, and our repair solutions are both effective and efficient, minimizing inconvenience for homeowners.
