About Diggit Contracting

Services & Process

Diggit Contracting's three-service model covers the full range of septic work from simple pump-outs to complete system replacements. Excavation services mean they can handle new septic system installations, drain field expansions, and the trenching required for distribution line repairs. On the plumbing side, they can address the house-side piping that connects to the septic system. This all-in-one capacity is particularly valuable when a failed septic system requires soil work, new tank placement, and interior plumbing adjustments as part of the same project.

Service Area

Diggit Contracting serves Dexter and the surrounding western Washtenaw County area, including Chelsea, Scio Township, and Lima Township. Rural properties throughout this corridor that need excavation-heavy septic work are a natural fit for their capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a septic repair require excavation equipment?
Any time a drain field line needs replacement, a distribution box needs to be repositioned, or a new tank needs to be set, you'll need digging equipment. Diggit's in-house excavation capability means those jobs don't require a separate contractor, which keeps the timeline tighter.
How long does a new septic system installation take in Washtenaw County?
The permitting and soil evaluation process through the county health department can take a few weeks. Once permits are in hand, the physical installation typically takes one to three days depending on system size and site conditions.
My Dexter area property has a really old septic system. How do I know if it needs full replacement?
Age alone doesn't determine replacement, but systems older than 25 to 30 years should be inspected carefully. Signs like persistent drain field saturation, recurring backups, or a tank that's deteriorating structurally usually point toward replacement rather than repair.
Can you handle both the septic work and the interior plumbing on a new build or major renovation?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of working with a contractor that covers both trades. For a renovation where drain lines are being rerouted and a new tank or field is needed, having one company handle both sides simplifies scheduling and accountability.
What permits are required for a new septic installation in Washtenaw County?
You'll need a septic permit from the Washtenaw County Environmental Health division, which requires a site plan, soil evaluation, and system design. A licensed contractor typically handles the application and coordinates the county inspection at completion.
Does excavation work always damage the lawn significantly?
There's always some disruption when digging is involved, but a skilled operator minimizes it. Topsoil is usually set aside and replaced after backfilling, and the area levels out over time. Lawn repair or reseeding can be discussed as part of the project scope.
