Services & Process

M&M Excavating handles both the digging and the septic work, which means you're not coordinating two separate contractors for a single job. Septic tank installation requires precise excavation to the correct depth and grade, and their equipment experience helps ensure the job is done right the first time. Drain field repairs often involve exposing buried laterals, removing failed material, and backfilling with proper aggregate. They also handle site prep work that frequently goes hand-in-hand with septic projects on undeveloped or rural parcels.

Service Area

M&M Excavating is based in Pueblo West and serves the surrounding Pueblo County area. Rural properties throughout the region, including communities outside the city limits where septic systems are standard, fall within their typical working range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for septic work in Pueblo West?
Yes, most septic installations and major repairs in Pueblo County require a permit through the county health department. M&M Excavating can help you understand what's needed before work begins, since they're familiar with local requirements.
How do I know if my drain field is failing?
Common signs include soggy ground above the drain field, slow drains throughout the house, or sewage odors in the yard. If you notice any of these, it's worth having the system inspected before the problem gets worse.
Can a contractor handle both excavation and septic installation on the same project?
Yes, and it's often more efficient when they can. Having one team manage both the digging and the system installation reduces scheduling gaps and ensures the excavation is sized correctly for the components being installed.
What soil conditions affect septic system design in Pueblo West?
The high-desert soil in this part of Colorado can include clay-heavy layers and rocky ground, both of which affect how quickly effluent drains from a leach field. A percolation test is typically required to determine what type of system will work best on your specific lot.
How long does a septic system installation usually take?
A straightforward installation on a standard residential lot can often be completed in one to three days once permits are in hand and materials are on site. More complex sites with difficult soil or limited access may take longer.
What's the difference between a septic tank and a drain field?
The septic tank holds waste and separates solids from liquid, while the drain field, also called a leach field, disperses the treated liquid into the soil. Both components need to be in good working order for the system to function properly.
