Services & Process

Glacier handles septic system work including tank pumping, which clears accumulated solids to prevent backups and system stress. Their excavation capabilities support new septic installations, tank replacements, and drain field repairs that require digging into Alaska's varied soil profiles. Snow removal rounds out their offerings, which is particularly relevant for keeping tank access points clear during winter service calls. Together, these services make them a year-round resource for homeowners who need property maintenance without juggling multiple contractors.

Service Area

Glacier Excavation & Plowing operates out of Wasilla and serves the broader Mat-Su Valley, including Palmer, Houston, and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Glacier clear snow to access my septic tank in winter?
Yes, their snow removal services make it possible to reach buried tank lids during Wasilla's heavy snow seasons. This is a real advantage since many septic emergencies don't wait for a thaw, and having one crew handle both tasks speeds up the whole process.
How does the Mat-Su Valley's soil affect septic system installation?
The Mat-Su area has a mix of silty loam, glacial till, and gravel deposits that behave differently when it comes to drainage and excavation. A local excavation contractor familiar with these soil types will know how to design and install a drain field that performs well long-term.
What's involved in a new septic system installation in Wasilla?
Installation starts with a site evaluation and percolation test to determine soil absorption rates, followed by permit approval through the Mat-Su Borough. Then excavation begins, tank and distribution components are set, drain field lines are placed, and everything is backfilled and graded.
How do I know if my drain field is failing?
Common signs include water pooling above the drain field area, a sewage smell in your yard, or sewage backing up into the lowest drains in your home. These symptoms often mean the field's absorption capacity is overwhelmed and may require excavation to diagnose and repair.
Does Wasilla require a septic inspection before selling a home?
Real estate transactions in Alaska frequently require a septic inspection as part of the due diligence process, and lenders often require it before approving financing. Getting an inspection scheduled early in the sale process avoids last-minute delays.
How long does a septic pump-out typically take?
A standard residential pump-out usually takes between 30 minutes and two hours depending on tank size, accessibility, and how full the tank is. If the technician identifies issues during the inspection, additional time may be needed to document findings or discuss repair options with you.
