About Eggleston's Backhoe & Septic Service

Eggleston's Backhoe & Septic Service brings a practical combination of excavation and septic expertise to the Cheyenne, Wyoming market. Having backhoe capability in-house is a real advantage for septic work, since many repairs and installations require digging before any system work can happen. Cheyenne's older neighborhoods in particular often have septic or sewer infrastructure that requires excavation to access or repair properly. They can be reached directly at (307) 634-6122.

Services & Process

Eggleston's offers a useful combination of septic services and backhoe work that covers more ground than a standard pump truck operation. On the septic side, this includes tank pumping, system inspections, and drain field evaluation. The backhoe capability means they can also handle drain field repairs or replacements, new septic system installation, and excavation needed to access buried tanks or collapsed pipes. This one-stop approach saves homeowners from having to coordinate between a separate excavation contractor and a septic company, which simplifies scheduling and can reduce overall cost.

Service Area

Eggleston's Backhoe & Septic Service serves Cheyenne and the surrounding Laramie County area. Their equipment and capabilities make them a practical choice for rural and semi-rural properties outside city limits where excavation access can be a challenge for providers without their own digging equipment. Contact them at (307) 634-6122 to discuss your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is having backhoe service combined with septic service useful?
Many septic repairs, including drain field replacement, tank lid access, and pipe repair, require digging before the actual system work can begin. When your provider handles both, you avoid the delay and added cost of hiring a separate excavation contractor and coordinating two schedules.
How do I know if my drain field needs to be replaced rather than just repaired?
Signs like chronic wet spots in the yard, sewage odors that don't go away after pumping, or a tank that fills back up unusually fast can indicate a failing drain field. A professional inspection will determine whether targeted repairs can restore function or whether a full replacement is the more practical solution.
What's involved in a new septic system installation in Cheyenne?
Installation starts with a site evaluation and soil percolation test to determine what type of system will work on your property. Once a design is approved and permits are secured from the Wyoming DEQ, excavation begins for the tank and drain field, followed by system installation and backfill. The whole process typically takes several days depending on site conditions.
Can Eggleston's help with septic systems on older Cheyenne properties?
Older homes in Cheyenne may have dated septic systems or components that no longer meet current standards. Eggleston's combination of inspection, pumping, and excavation capability makes them well suited for assessing and upgrading systems on aging properties.
What permits are required for septic work in Wyoming?
New installations and major repairs typically require a permit through the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality or the local county sanitarian's office. Routine pumping and minor maintenance usually don't require a permit, but it's always worth confirming with your provider before any significant work begins.
How long does a drain field typically last before needing replacement?
A well-maintained drain field can last 20 to 30 years or more, but lifespan varies significantly based on soil conditions, usage volume, and how consistently the tank has been pumped. Regular pumping is the single most effective way to extend drain field life by preventing solid waste from flowing out and clogging the field.
