Residential Utility Trenching Services
Underground utilities require careful planning and accurate trench dimensions to prevent long-term system failure.
We provide:

• Irrigation line trenching

All trenching is completed to required depth specifications and coordinated with inspection timelines.
Utility trenching is often completed during early site development. Learn more about our site preparation and foundation excavation services to understand how excavation phases are coordinated.
Why Precision Matters in Underground Excavation
Utility and septic systems depend on:
• Proper trench slope
• Correct depth below frost line
• Stable bedding and backfill
• Accurate compaction
Eastern Washington’s freeze-thaw cycles and soil variation make proper installation critical for long-term reliability.
Septic System Excavation
Septic excavation requires exact elevation control and soil awareness. Improper excavation can lead to drainage failure and system malfunction.
Our septic excavation services include:
• Septic tank excavation
• Drain field excavation
• System expansion preparation
• Replacement system excavation
• Coordination with installers and inspectors
We understand Spokane County septic requirements and prepare sites accordingly.
