About NW General Management

NW General Management is based in Olympia, Washington, the state capital, and brings an unusually broad set of capabilities to the table. Rated 4.0 out of 5 stars across 3 reviews, they offer excavation, demolition, and septic services under one roof. Olympia and the surrounding Thurston County area include a large number of older properties on septic systems, particularly in rural corridors east and south of the city toward Lacey and Rainier. Having a provider that can both dig and manage septic work simplifies projects that would otherwise require coordinating multiple contractors.

Services & Process

Their septic services cover pumping, inspections, and system repairs. Where they stand apart is their excavation capability, which means they can handle drain field replacement or new system installation without bringing in a separate excavation crew. Demolition services suggest they can also assist with clearing structures or old system components that need to be removed before new work begins. This combination is particularly useful for property redevelopment, real estate prep work, or replacing a failed system on a property that hasn't been touched in years.

Service Area

NW General Management serves Olympia and the broader Thurston County region. Communities like Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and Rainier are all within their likely service area. If you're in the South Puget Sound region and need combined excavation and septic work, they're worth a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a septic system need excavation work?
Excavation is needed when a drain field has failed and must be replaced, when a new system is being installed on a previously undeveloped lot, or when damaged tank components require exposure to repair or replace. It's also needed when adding a new access riser to a buried tank.
How do I know if my drain field has failed?
Signs include standing water or soggy ground over the drain field, sewage odors outdoors, and drains inside the home that are slow even after the tank has been pumped. A professional inspection can confirm whether the field is saturated or structurally compromised.
What permits are required for septic work in Thurston County?
Any new installation, repair, or replacement of a septic system in Thurston County requires a permit from Thurston County Environmental Health. A licensed on-site sewage system designer typically needs to be involved for new or replacement systems.
Can NW General Management handle both demolition and septic on the same project?
Yes, that's one of their clear advantages. For property redevelopment or situations where an old structure or failed system needs to be removed and replaced, having one crew manage both phases reduces scheduling complexity and overall cost.
How long does a septic system installation take in Olympia?
From permit approval to completed installation, a typical residential septic system installation takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on permit timelines and weather. Thurston County permitting can vary in speed depending on the current workload.
Is NW General Management a good choice for real estate transaction septic inspections?
Yes. Their combination of septic knowledge and excavation capability means they can inspect a system and, if a problem is found, provide an accurate repair estimate on the spot. That's valuable information for buyers and sellers trying to negotiate based on real costs.
