About big L construction

Big L Construction is a Colorado Springs contractor combining septic services with excavation and general contracting, giving them the ability to handle the full scope of a septic project without relying on outside crews. Colorado Springs and the surrounding El Paso County area have a large number of properties on private septic systems, particularly in areas like Black Forest, Peyton, and Falcon where lot sizes make municipal sewer unavailable. That demand means there's real work for construction-oriented septic providers who can dig, install, and repair all in one operation. Give them a call at (719) 659-0430 to discuss your project.

Services & Process

Big L Construction's septic services are backed by on-site excavation capability, meaning they can handle everything from tank access and pumping to full drain field replacement without waiting on a separate excavation crew. General contracting skills come into play on larger projects where septic work connects to new construction, additions, or property redevelopment. Standard septic services likely include tank pumping, system inspections, repair of failed components, and new system installation for properties that are building or expanding. Their multi-trade approach is particularly useful for property owners doing larger renovation projects who want fewer contractors on site.

Service Area

Big L Construction serves Colorado Springs and surrounding communities in El Paso County. They're well equipped for rural and semi-rural properties in areas like Black Forest, Peyton, Fountain, and Security where private septic systems are the norm rather than the exception.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between septic tank pumping and a full septic inspection?
Pumping removes the accumulated solids from the tank and is primarily a maintenance task. A full inspection goes further, evaluating the condition of baffles, looking for cracks or structural issues, checking drain field performance, and assessing whether the system is functioning as designed. Many providers combine both into a single service call.
Why would I hire a construction company for septic work instead of a dedicated septic company?
When your septic project involves significant excavation, site prep, or is part of a larger build or renovation, a contractor with both construction and septic licensing can manage everything as a unified job. This often saves time and avoids the scheduling conflicts that come with coordinating multiple specialty contractors.
How long does a new septic system installation take in Colorado Springs?
A straightforward installation on a reasonably accessible lot might take two to four days of active work, but permitting, soil testing, and inspection scheduling can extend the overall timeline to several weeks. Starting the permit process early is the best way to avoid delays on your construction schedule.
What's a drain field and how do I know if mine needs to be replaced?
The drain field, also called a leach field, is the network of underground perforated pipes that distribute liquid effluent from your septic tank into the surrounding soil for natural filtration. Signs it's failing include soggy ground over the field, sewage odors, and drains inside your home backing up or running slowly.
Can I build over my existing drain field or septic tank?
No, and it's important not to. Building structures, parking heavy vehicles, or even planting deep-rooted trees over a drain field can compact the soil, crush pipes, and cause the system to fail prematurely. You'll also need clear access to the tank for future pumping and inspections.
What should I do if sewage is backing up into my home?
Stop using water in the home immediately to avoid making the backup worse, and call a septic service provider as soon as possible. Sewage backup is a health hazard, and the cause can range from a full tank to a blocked line or a failed drain field, all of which require different solutions.
