About Dig It Up

Dig It Up is a Denver-based contractor combining excavation, plumbing, and septic services into a single operation, which is a practical setup for jobs that require digging before any repair work can begin. Denver's urban and suburban properties range from fully sewered neighborhoods to parcels on the city's outer edges that still rely on private septic systems. When a septic issue requires significant ground work, having the excavation and septic expertise under one contractor eliminates the coordination headache of scheduling two crews. They work out of Denver and are reachable at (720) 979-8280.

Services & Process

Dig It Up handles excavation for septic system installation and repair, which involves grading, trenching, and soil removal to expose tanks, lines, and drain fields. Their plumbing services address the connections between a structure's internal drain system and its septic or sewer infrastructure. Septic services cover pumping, inspection, and system repair, all of which may require excavation to access buried components. For jobs like drain field replacement or full system installation, having excavation and septic work managed by the same crew means fewer handoffs and a more efficient job site.

Service Area

Dig It Up serves Denver and the surrounding metro area, including properties along the city's suburban fringe where septic systems are still common. Their excavation capabilities mean they can handle jobs in tighter urban settings as well as larger suburban and rural lots. Coverage likely extends into adjacent counties, so it's worth a call if you're just outside the Denver city limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a septic repair require excavation?
Excavation is needed when the problem involves buried components like a cracked tank, failed drain field laterals, or a collapsed distribution box. Surface-level symptoms like slow drains or soggy yard patches often signal an underground issue that can't be fixed without digging.
How disruptive is excavation to my yard during a septic repair?
Modern excavation equipment allows for fairly targeted digging, which limits how much of your yard is disturbed. A contractor that handles both the excavation and the repair is more likely to minimize unnecessary disruption because they're accountable for the whole job.
Can a septic system be installed in a Denver-area property that's currently on city sewer?
In most cases, properties within Denver's sewer service area can't disconnect from the municipal system to install a septic tank. However, for properties on the urban fringe without sewer access, new septic installation is both possible and common.
What's the process for replacing a failed drain field?
Drain field replacement starts with a site assessment and often a perc test to confirm soil absorption capacity. The old field is excavated, failed material is removed, and new perforated distribution piping is laid in fresh gravel or aggregate before the area is backfilled.
How do I know if my septic tank is cracked or structurally compromised?
Signs include unusually wet or sunken ground above the tank, sewage odors without any apparent overflow, and unusually fast refill rates after pumping. A camera inspection or physical excavation to visually check the tank walls will confirm whether there's structural damage.
What plumbing work typically connects to a septic system?
The main sewer line running from your home to the septic tank is the primary connection point, and it's also where clogs and breaks most commonly occur. Plumbing services related to septic systems also include repairing or replacing the inlet baffle, vent pipes, and any cleanout access points.
