About All Ways Excavating NW

All Ways Excavating NW is based in Arlington, Washington, and holds a perfect 5.0 rating across its reviews, a strong signal for a company covering Snohomish County's mix of rural properties and growing suburban neighborhoods. What makes them stand out is their combination of septic services with full excavation and demolition capabilities, meaning they can handle an entire septic project from digging to installation without subcontracting the heavy equipment work. Arlington sits between Everett and Mount Vernon, putting them in reach of a wide stretch of the I-5 corridor where large lot properties and acreages are common.

Services & Process

All Ways Excavating NW brings a wider toolkit than a typical septic-only provider. Their excavation services mean they can dig for new septic installations, replace failed drain fields, and expose buried tanks for access without needing to call in a separate crew. Demolition services allow them to remove old structures or concrete work that might be blocking system access or a new installation site. On the septic side, they handle the standard services: tank pumping, system inspections, and repairs. Having one company manage the whole scope reduces scheduling delays and coordination headaches.

Service Area

All Ways Excavating NW serves Arlington and the surrounding Snohomish County area, including communities like Stanwood, Marysville, and Granite Falls. Their location along the I-5 corridor makes them accessible to properties stretching toward the Cascade foothills and out toward the coast. Rural and semi-rural properties with larger lots are a core part of their service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between septic repair and full system replacement?
Septic repair addresses specific failed components, like a cracked distribution box, a broken baffle, or a partially clogged drain field line. Full replacement is needed when the tank itself is structurally compromised or the drain field has failed completely and can't be rehabilitated. A thorough inspection will tell you which route makes sense for your property.
Do I need excavation work for a septic inspection?
Not always. Standard inspections can often be done through existing access ports. However, if the tank lids are buried deep, or if the inspector needs to check the distribution box or drain field laterals closely, some digging may be required. Having a company that handles both saves you from coordinating two separate crews.
How long does a new septic system installation take in Snohomish County?
A typical installation takes one to three days of actual work, but the permitting process through Snohomish County Environmental Health can add several weeks to the timeline. Starting the permit process early is the best way to avoid delays, especially if you're on a deadline for a real estate transaction or new construction.
Can you install a septic system on a property with difficult terrain?
Yes, though sloped or rocky properties require more planning and sometimes alternative system designs like mound systems or pressure-dosed drain fields. A site evaluation will determine which system type is permitted and practical for your specific lot. Excavation experience is especially useful on challenging terrain.
What should I do if my septic system backs up suddenly?
Stop using water in the home as much as possible to avoid making the backup worse, and call a septic service provider right away. Don't attempt to open the tank yourself. An emergency pump-out can relieve the immediate pressure while the technician diagnoses the underlying cause.
Is it possible to add a bedroom to my home if I'm on a septic system?
Adding a bedroom may require upgrading your septic system since permits are often tied to bedroom count, which determines the estimated daily sewage flow. You'll need to check with Snohomish County to see if your current system is sized adequately. A septic assessment before the addition is a smart first step.
