About Rockin 6 Excavation

Boise's ongoing development, from new subdivisions in the foothills to rural properties along the Boise River corridor, creates consistent demand for contractors who can handle ground-breaking work before a septic system ever goes in. Rockin 6 covers both the digging and the septic side, which means a single point of contact for projects that require both. They're reachable at (208) 271-1900 for project estimates.

Services & Process

Rockin 6 Excavation handles the heavy earth-moving work that septic installations and repairs require, including site preparation, trench digging for drain lines, and tank placement. For new septic system installations, excavation involves precise grading to ensure proper slope for drainage and compliance with Ada County setback requirements. They also take on drain field work, which may mean excavating failed leach lines and preparing the soil for new laterals. Beyond septic, their excavation capabilities extend to utility trenching, land clearing, and site leveling for construction projects.

Service Area

Rockin 6 Excavation is based in Boise and serves Ada County and surrounding areas throughout the Treasure Valley. Communities like Meridian, Eagle, Star, and Garden City are within their typical service zone. Rural properties on the outskirts of the metro area are often well within reach, so it's worth a call to confirm coverage for your specific location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a perc test before Rockin 6 Excavation can install a septic system in Boise?
Yes, Ada County requires a percolation test or soil evaluation before approving a new septic system installation. This test determines how well your soil absorbs water and directly affects the size and design of your drain field. Your contractor can often coordinate this step or refer you to a licensed site evaluator.
How long does a septic system installation typically take from start to finish?
A standard residential installation in the Boise area generally takes two to four days for the excavation and system placement, not counting the permitting timeline, which can add a few weeks depending on Ada County's current workload. Planning ahead is important, especially for new construction projects with firm completion deadlines.
What's the difference between a septic tank and a drain field, and does Rockin 6 handle both?
The septic tank is a buried container that holds and partially treats wastewater before it flows out to the drain field, which is a network of perforated pipes in gravel-filled trenches that let treated water slowly absorb into the soil. A contractor offering both excavation and septic services handles the installation of both components as part of a complete system.
Can excavation damage an existing septic system during a construction project?
Yes, heavy equipment operating near a septic tank or drain field can crack tanks, crush distribution boxes, or compact soil in the drain field, which reduces its ability to absorb water. Before any excavation near a known system, the tank and field locations should be marked so the equipment operator can avoid them.
What soil conditions in the Boise area affect septic system design?
The Boise area has a range of soil types, from sandy soils in lower valley areas that drain quickly to harder, rockier ground in the foothills that may require engineered systems or mound installations. A soil evaluation tells the designer which type of system will work best for your specific parcel.
Does Boise require a licensed contractor for septic system installation?
Idaho requires that septic system installations be designed by or in coordination with a licensed professional and permitted through the local health district. Working with a contractor experienced in Ada County's permitting process helps ensure your system meets all applicable standards and passes inspection.
