About Saunders Excavation

Saunders Excavation operates out of Tremonton, Utah, serving Box Elder County and the surrounding rural communities where septic systems are the norm rather than the exception. They bring a multi-trade approach, combining excavation and septic work under one roof, which matters a lot when you're dealing with a new system install or a drain field that needs digging up. Tremonton sits in an agricultural region where properties often have older systems that need attention. They also handle demolition work, making them a practical choice for properties undergoing major changes.

Services & Process

Saunders Excavation handles the full scope of ground-breaking work that septic jobs demand, from digging out failed drain fields to preparing sites for new tank installations. Their excavation equipment allows them to expose buried tanks quickly, which cuts down on labor time during inspections or pump-outs. On the demolition side, they can remove old concrete tanks, crumbled leach lines, or structures that sit above septic components. This combination of skills is especially useful for rural Box Elder County properties where the septic system may have been installed decades ago without proper documentation.

Service Area

Saunders Excavation serves Tremonton and the broader Box Elder County area, including communities like Brigham City, Garland, and Fielding. Their equipment and crew can reach rural properties across the northern Utah region, making them a practical option for farms and acreage lots that need more than just a pump truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need excavation work just for a standard septic pump-out?
Most routine pump-outs don't require digging, as long as your tank lids are accessible at or near ground level. If your lids are buried more than a foot deep, some digging will be needed to access them safely.
How often should septic tanks be pumped in rural Box Elder County?
Most household tanks in the Tremonton area should be pumped every three to five years, depending on household size and tank capacity. Properties with garbage disposals or larger families may need service more frequently.
Can the same company handle both my septic installation and the excavation?
Yes, and that's actually a big advantage. Having one contractor manage both the earthwork and the septic installation reduces scheduling gaps and keeps accountability clear if any issues come up.
What permits are required for septic work in Box Elder County?
Any new septic installation or major repair in Box Elder County requires a permit from the Box Elder County Health Department. Your contractor typically handles the permit application, but the homeowner is ultimately responsible for making sure it's in place.
What happens to my yard after excavation for a septic repair?
The excavated area gets backfilled and compacted once the work is complete, and the surface is graded to shed water properly. Full landscaping restoration is usually the homeowner's responsibility unless otherwise agreed upon.
Can old concrete septic tanks be removed and replaced?
Yes, old concrete tanks that have cracked or deteriorated can be removed using demolition and excavation equipment and replaced with modern polyethylene or fiberglass tanks. This kind of project is exactly where a contractor with both demolition and septic experience adds real value.
