Services & Process

Earthmovers handles site development projects where septic work is part of a larger scope. New septic installations require significant excavation to place the tank, distribution box, and drain field at the right depths, and Earthmovers brings that capability in-house. Demolition services are useful when old tanks, cesspools, or structures need to be removed before a new system goes in. On the excavation side, they can also handle grading, soil testing preparation, and drain field trenching, which are steps that a septic-only contractor would need to subcontract.

Service Area

Earthmovers Site Development serves Berlin and the surrounding Camden County region, with reach into Burlington and Gloucester counties as well. Communities including Voorhees, Lindenwold, Winslow Township, and Mount Holly are all within the typical project range for their site development and septic work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's involved in installing a brand new septic system on an undeveloped lot?
A new installation starts with a perc test or soil evaluation to confirm the land can support a conventional drain field, followed by permit approval through the county health department. Then excavation begins for the tank, distribution box, and leach field, with final grading done once the system is inspected and approved.
How long does a full septic system installation take from start to finish?
The actual installation work typically takes one to three days depending on system size and site conditions. However, the total timeline including permitting, soil testing, and inspections can stretch to several weeks, so it's wise to start the process well before you need the system operational.
Do I need to remove an old cesspool before installing a new septic system in NJ?
Yes, New Jersey requires that abandoned cesspools be properly decommissioned, which typically means pumping them out and either filling them with clean material or crushing and burying them. A contractor that handles both demolition and septic work can take care of that as part of the same project.
What soil conditions are needed for a conventional drain field in Camden County?
A conventional drain field requires soil that absorbs water at a rate within specific limits, confirmed through a percolation test or soil profile evaluation. Sandy loam soils common in parts of South Jersey often perform well, but areas with high clay content or a shallow water table may require an alternative system design.
Can Earthmovers handle both the site grading and the septic installation as one project?
That's exactly the kind of combined scope a site development contractor is set up for. Coordinating excavation, grading, and septic installation under one contractor eliminates the scheduling gaps that come from using multiple separate companies.
What permits are required for septic installation in Camden County, NJ?
In Camden County, septic installations require a permit from the Camden County Department of Health, which reviews soil data, system design, and lot size before approval. Additional municipal permits may be needed depending on the township, and a final inspection is required before the system can be placed into service.
