Services & Process

Grade Excavating handles the full lifecycle of septic work, from initial site grading and excavation to system installation and drain field preparation. Their demolition capabilities mean they can remove old or failed systems before putting new ones in, which many septic-only companies can't do themselves. Excavation services also cover site clearing, trenching for new construction, and soil removal needed before any underground system goes in. Whether you're building new or replacing an aging tank, they've got the equipment to get the ground ready.

Service Area

Grade Excavating is based in Ada, Michigan and works throughout the Grand Rapids metro and surrounding Kent County communities. Nearby areas like Cascade, Lowell, and Rockford are all within reasonable reach. Rural properties east of Grand Rapids are a natural fit given the team's septic and excavation focus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Grade Excavating handle both the excavation and the septic installation on a new build?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages of working with them. Having one contractor handle site grading, excavation, and septic installation keeps the project moving without delays between trades.
Do I need a permit for septic installation in Ada or Kent County?
Yes, Michigan requires permits for new septic installations and major repairs. Kent County Environmental Health handles these permits, and a qualified contractor can help you understand what's needed before work starts.
What happens if my drain field is failing?
A failing drain field usually shows up as wet spots in the yard, slow drains, or sewage odors. Excavating the old field and installing a new one in a suitable area of your property is often the solution, and this is exactly the type of job Grade Excavating is equipped to handle.
Can they remove an old concrete septic tank before installing a new system?
Their demolition services cover old tank removal, which is a step some septic-only companies have to outsource. Handling it in-house keeps your project on one timeline.
How long does a typical septic installation take in the Ada area?
Most residential installations take one to three days depending on soil conditions, system size, and site access. Permit approval timelines from Kent County can add time before work begins, so plan ahead.
Is Ada's soil suitable for conventional septic systems?
Soil conditions vary across Ada and Kent County. A site evaluation and perc test will determine what type of system your property can support, whether that's a conventional gravity system or an alternative design.
