Services & Process

Sedenka covers three service areas: excavation, septic, and demolition. Septic work includes system installation, tank pumping, and drain field repair or replacement. Their excavation services support all of this, handling site grading, trenching, and soil work needed before a new system goes in. The demolition side rounds out the offering for clients who need structures removed or cleared before a build or infrastructure project can move forward. For rural property owners managing larger projects, having one contractor handle the dirt work, the teardown, and the septic installation saves significant coordination time.

Service Area

Sedenka Excavating and Habitat serves Lisbon and the surrounding Cedar County area in east-central Iowa. They're also positioned to reach neighboring counties given the rural nature of the region, making them a practical option for property owners throughout the area southeast of Cedar Rapids.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does septic system installation involve when excavation is required?
The process starts with site assessment and permits, then moves to excavation of the tank location and drain field trenches. Once the tank is set and the distribution system is in place, the area is backfilled and graded to drain properly away from the new system.
Can Sedenka handle old tank removal along with installing a new system?
Yes, their demolition and excavation capabilities make them equipped to remove decommissioned tanks and old system components. The old tank must be properly pumped, cleaned, and disposed of or crushed in place according to Iowa regulations before a new system goes in.
How do I know if my Cedar County property's drain field needs replacement?
Signs include sewage odors near the drain field, soggy ground above the field that doesn't dry out after rain, and slow drains throughout the house. A failing drain field usually can't be repaired by pumping alone and often requires excavation and new installation.
What permits are required for septic work in Cedar County, Iowa?
Iowa requires permits for new septic installations and major repairs, issued through the county's environmental health office. Your contractor typically coordinates the permit application, but the homeowner is ultimately responsible for ensuring permits are in place.
Is demolition of old structures sometimes necessary before a new septic system can be installed?
Yes, old sheds, concrete pads, or other structures in the path of a new drain field often need to come down first. Having a contractor who handles both demolition and septic installation means that prep work and the main project can be planned and executed together.
How long does a new septic system typically last in Iowa?
A properly installed concrete tank can last 40 years or more, while drain fields typically have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. Soil type, household usage, and how consistently the tank is pumped all affect how long the system performs well.
