About Mike's Excavating

Mike's Excavating is based in Medina, Ohio, a growing city in Medina County where suburban development continues to push out into areas that rely on private septic systems. They bring together plumbing, septic services, and hydro-jetting under one operation, which gives them a broader toolkit than most single-discipline providers. Their 5-star rating reflects quality work, and their excavating background means they're equipped to handle drain field repairs and system installations that require real digging. For homeowners dealing with serious system problems, that matters.

Services & Process

Mike's Excavating handles septic tank pumping, system inspections, and full system installations for new construction or replacement projects. Their hydro-jetting service uses high-pressure water to blast through stubborn blockages in sewer lines, drain pipes, and septic inlet lines that standard snaking can't clear. On the plumbing side, they address pipe repairs, sewer line issues, and drain problems. Their excavating capability also makes them one of the few local providers equipped to dig up and replace failing drain fields or repair collapsed lines without subcontracting that part of the work.

Service Area

Mike's Excavating serves Medina and the surrounding communities of Wadsworth, Brunswick, Hinckley, and other areas throughout Medina County. Their equipment also allows them to take on larger projects in neighboring counties when needed. Customers throughout the county rely on them for both routine septic maintenance and major system work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydro-jetting and when is it needed for a septic system?
Hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to clear blockages and buildup from pipes, including the lines leading to your septic tank. It's typically recommended when standard drain snaking hasn't resolved a recurring blockage, or when grease or root intrusion has significantly narrowed a pipe.
How do I know if my drain field in Medina County is failing?
Signs of drain field failure include soggy or spongy ground over the field area, sewage odors outdoors, toilets or drains that back up frequently, and unusually lush or green grass above the field lines. A professional inspection can confirm the extent of the problem.
Can Mike's Excavating install a completely new septic system?
Yes, their excavating capability means they can handle full system installations, not just pumping and maintenance. This includes site preparation, tank placement, and drain field installation for new construction or full system replacements.
How long does a septic system last in Medina County, Ohio?
A well-maintained concrete or fiberglass tank can last 30 to 40 years or more, while drain fields typically function for 20 to 30 years depending on soil conditions, usage levels, and maintenance history. Neglected systems fail much sooner.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older pipes connected to a septic system?
In most cases, yes, but a good technician will assess pipe condition before applying high pressure. Older clay or severely corroded pipes may need a camera inspection first to make sure the pressure won't cause additional damage.
Do I need an excavating company or a plumber for a septic line repair?
It depends on where the problem is. Blockages and line repairs close to the house are often plumbing work, but repairs deeper in the yard or near the tank usually require excavation. A provider like Mike's Excavating that handles both can assess the situation and take it from there.
