About King's Plumbing And Excavating

King's Plumbing And Excavating is based in Lakewood, Colorado, a Jefferson County city that borders Denver to the west and sits at the foot of the foothills. Lakewood's older residential neighborhoods often have aging plumbing and septic infrastructure that needs both above-ground and below-ground attention. By combining plumbing, excavation, and septic services, this company can handle jobs that start as a simple drain problem and turn into a full system repair or replacement. That range of capability matters in a city where underground infrastructure varies widely from block to block.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a septic problem require excavation to fix?
Excavation is needed when the issue involves a collapsed or damaged pipe underground, a tank that needs to be replaced, or a drain field that has failed and requires reconstruction. Problems that can't be resolved by pumping or simple repairs above the access lids will almost always require some digging.
Can a plumber fix a septic problem, or do I need a separate septic company?
It depends on where the problem is. A plumber can address issues with interior pipes and the line leading to the tank, but septic-specific problems like tank pumping, drain field repair, and system inspections require a contractor licensed for that work. Companies like King's that hold both licenses can handle everything.
How do I know if my Lakewood home is on a septic system or city sewer?
You can check your property records or contact Jefferson County to find out which system your home uses. If you have a visible tank lid in your yard or have received septic pumping service before, you're on a private system. Older homes in Lakewood's outer neighborhoods are more likely to be on septic.
What's involved in replacing an old septic tank?
Tank replacement starts with pumping out the existing tank, then excavating around it to remove the old structure. A new tank, typically concrete or polyethylene, is set in place and connected to the inlet and outlet pipes before the area is backfilled. A permit from Jefferson County is required for this type of work.
How long does a drain field last in Colorado's Front Range soil conditions?
A properly installed drain field in this region typically lasts 20 to 30 years, though heavy clay soils found in parts of Jefferson County can shorten that lifespan by reducing absorption. Regular pumping to prevent solids from reaching the field is the best way to extend its life.
Do I need a permit for septic repairs in Jefferson County?
Yes, Jefferson County requires permits for any significant septic work beyond routine maintenance, including repairs to the tank, lines, or drain field. Your contractor typically pulls the permit on your behalf, but it's worth confirming that step is included before work starts.
