Services & Process

Kellogg Contracting handles septic tank pumping, septic system inspections, and plumbing work that often goes hand-in-hand with septic service on rural properties. For larger rural lots, they deal with systems that may have multiple tanks, distribution boxes, or aging drain fields that require careful assessment rather than a standard pump-and-go visit. Their plumbing services cover the interior and exterior pipe work that connects to these systems, including repairs to lines damaged by tree roots or ground movement. System installation and drain field evaluation are also part of what they bring to the table.

Service Area

Kellogg Contracting serves Franktown and the broader Douglas County rural corridor, including communities like Larkspur, Castle Rock, Elizabeth, and Parker. Properties along Crowfoot Valley Road, Russellville Road, and the surrounding rural routes are within their standard service area. Their familiarity with rural property access in this part of Colorado makes them a practical choice for larger acreage properties that some providers decline to service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does having horses or livestock affect my septic system in Franktown?
Animals themselves don't typically impact the septic system directly, but runoff from animal waste areas can introduce excess nutrients and pathogens near the drain field if properties aren't graded carefully. It's also important that heavy equipment or animals don't compact the soil over the drain field, which can reduce its ability to process effluent properly.
What septic system inspections are required when selling a rural Douglas County property?
Douglas County typically requires a septic inspection as part of real estate transactions for properties on private systems. The inspection evaluates the tank's condition, checks for signs of drain field failure, and verifies that the system meets current standards.
My tank access is buried under years of dirt. Can a technician still find it?
Yes, experienced technicians can locate buried tanks using probing tools or by referencing county property records that document original installation locations. Once found, many homeowners choose to have a riser installed so future access is quick and easy without digging.
How long does a septic system last on a rural Colorado property?
A well-maintained system can last 25 to 40 years, though drain fields can fail sooner if the system is overloaded or the soil becomes compacted or saturated. Regular pumping and inspections are the biggest factors in extending a system's useful life.
Can I add a bathroom to my Franktown home without upgrading my septic system?
It depends on your system's current capacity relative to the home's original design load. Adding a bathroom increases water usage and waste load, so a system evaluation before any addition is a smart step to avoid overloading the drain field.
What's the cost range for a typical septic pump-out in the Franktown area?
Prices vary depending on tank size, accessibility, and how much material needs to be removed, but rural properties in Douglas County can expect to pay more than urban customers due to travel distance and sometimes more complex access.
