Services & Process

Goodman Excavation performs septic system installations, drain field construction, and tank removal or replacement. New installations start with soil evaluation and perc testing, followed by excavation, tank setting, and drain field trenching. When a system fails entirely, demolition capabilities mean they can safely remove the old tank and haul it away before installing a replacement. They're also equipped for site grading and land preparation work that often accompanies new construction or major system overhauls on rural Canyon County properties.

Service Area

Goodman Excavation serves Middleton and the broader Canyon County region, including rural properties between Nampa, Caldwell, and Parma. They're familiar with the agricultural land and rural residential properties throughout western Treasure Valley that depend on private septic systems for wastewater management.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new septic system installation typically cost in Canyon County?
Costs vary based on soil conditions, system type, and property access, but most residential installations in the Canyon County area range from several thousand to over ten thousand dollars. Getting a site evaluation and written quote is the best way to understand what your specific property will require.
Can I build on a property in Middleton that has an old, unused septic system?
Yes, but the old system typically needs to be properly decommissioned or removed first, depending on Canyon County regulations. An excavation contractor with demolition capabilities can handle the tank removal, abandonment, or replacement as part of preparing the site for new construction.
What is a perc test and why does it matter for septic installation?
A percolation test measures how quickly water drains through your soil, which determines whether a standard drain field will work on your property. If the soil drains too slowly or too quickly, you may need an alternative system design, which affects both cost and timeline.
How deep does a septic tank need to be buried in Idaho?
Depth requirements depend on soil conditions, frost lines, and local code, but tanks in Idaho are generally buried at a depth that protects them from freezing and allows proper gravity flow from the home. Your contractor will determine the appropriate depth during the design and permitting phase.
Does excavation damage my yard, and will it be restored after septic work?
Septic work does disturb the ground, especially for new installations or drain field repairs that require trenching. Most contractors will backfill and grade the area after the work is done, though grass and landscaping regrowth takes time. Ask your contractor specifically what site restoration is included in the quote.
What Canyon County permits are needed for septic work?
Canyon County Environmental Health typically issues permits for new septic installations, replacements, and major repairs. Your contractor should pull these permits on your behalf before work starts. Operating without permits can cause problems when you sell the property or if county inspectors identify unpermitted work.
