About Nevada Excavating

Nevada Excavating serves the Story County seat of Nevada, Iowa, where a mix of in-town properties, rural acreages, and agricultural land creates a steady need for experienced septic and excavation work. They're one of the few providers in the area that also handles demolition, which makes them a versatile option for property owners dealing with structure removal alongside site prep or system replacement. Nevada is home to Iowa State University extension offices and a tight-knit farming community, so reliable local contractors who understand rural property needs are always in demand here.

Services & Process

Nevada Excavating covers septic services, excavation, and demolition, giving property owners a single point of contact for projects that often require all three. On the septic side, they're equipped for tank pumping, system inspections, and full installations. Their excavation work supports drain field construction, tank placement, and site grading. When a project involves tearing down an old outbuilding or removing a concrete pad before a new septic system goes in, their demolition capability means that step doesn't have to wait on a separate contractor.

Nevada Excavating is based in Nevada, Iowa, and serves communities throughout Story County and the surrounding region. They work in nearby towns like Colo, McCallsburg, and Zearing, as well as rural properties throughout the area. Their equipment and capacity make them a viable option for larger or more complex projects across central Iowa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Nevada Excavating handle septic installation on a property that also needs a structure demolished first?
Yes, their demolition capability means they can remove old structures, clear the site, and then proceed with excavation and septic installation as part of the same project. This kind of full-scope approach simplifies scheduling and reduces the number of contractors you're coordinating.
What's involved in a septic system inspection in Story County?
A standard inspection involves locating and uncovering the tank, checking the inlet and outlet baffles, measuring sludge and scum levels, and evaluating the drain field for signs of saturation or failure. Many real estate transactions in Iowa require a septic inspection before closing.
How long does a full septic system installation typically take?
A typical installation, from excavation through backfill, usually takes one to three days depending on site conditions, system size, and weather. Permitting and soil evaluation may add time before the actual installation begins.
Does Nevada Excavating work on commercial properties as well as residential?
Yes, their excavation and demolition experience extends to commercial sites, and commercial properties with on-site septic systems are part of their service scope. Reach out to discuss the specifics of your property and what you need.
What happens if my septic system is beyond repair and needs full replacement?
If an inspection or assessment shows the system has failed, the next step is designing a replacement system that meets current Iowa DNR and county requirements. Nevada Excavating can handle the excavation and installation of the new system once the design and permits are in order.
Are there specific soil testing requirements before a new septic system can be installed in Story County?
Iowa requires a soil evaluation to determine what type of system is suitable for a given site, and this is typically done by the county sanitarian or a licensed evaluator before permits are issued. The results guide the system design, particularly whether a conventional or alternative system is needed.
