About Taylor Excavating

Taylor Excavating is a Lincoln, Nebraska contractor combining excavation, demolition, and septic services for residential and commercial clients throughout Lancaster County. Lincoln's ongoing growth, both in new suburban developments to the south and east and in older neighborhoods where infrastructure needs updating, keeps excavation-based contractors like this one consistently in demand. Their demolition capability sets them apart from most septic-only operators, since some system replacements require tearing out old concrete structures before new installation can begin. They're available at (402) 450-6599 for project inquiries.

Services & Process

Taylor Excavating's septic work is backed by serious earthmoving capability. New septic system installations require precise excavation for tank placement and drain field trenching, and having that equipment and expertise in-house means cleaner, faster project execution. Demolition services come into play when an existing system or structure needs to be removed before a new one goes in, which is common on older Lincoln-area properties upgrading from failing systems. Their excavation background also supports site grading and backfill work after installation, leaving the property in better shape than many septic-only crews manage.

Service Area

Taylor Excavating serves Lincoln and the greater Lancaster County area, including surrounding communities like Waverly, Bennet, Firth, and Denton. Their equipment is well-suited for both urban infill projects in Lincoln proper and rural acreage work on the county's outskirts. Commercial and residential clients across the region can reach them at (402) 450-6599.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a septic system replacement require demolition work?
Demolition is typically needed when an old concrete tank or distribution box must be removed before a new system can be properly positioned. In some cases, old structures are abandoned in place and filled with concrete, but removal is sometimes required by county regulations or site constraints.
Can Taylor Excavating handle commercial septic projects in Lincoln?
A contractor with excavation and demolition capabilities alongside septic experience is well-positioned for commercial projects, which often involve larger tanks, grease traps, or more complex site conditions than residential work. Calling (402) 450-6599 is the best way to discuss the specifics of a commercial job.
What's involved in replacing a failed drain field?
Drain field replacement requires excavating the old field, removing saturated or compacted soil, and installing new perforated pipes in fresh gravel-filled trenches. Depending on the site, a new location for the field may need to be identified if the original area is no longer suitable.
How deep does excavation typically go for a septic system installation?
Tank excavation typically goes four to six feet deep for a standard residential system, though this varies based on tank size and soil conditions. Drain field trenches are usually shallower, often two to three feet, to keep the effluent in the biologically active upper soil layer.
Does site grading affect how well a septic system performs?
Grading matters quite a bit. Proper slope directs surface water away from the drain field, which helps prevent soil saturation that can shut down a system. Backfilling and grading after installation are steps that directly affect how long the system performs well.
How do I know if my Lincoln property needs a septic system or can connect to city sewer?
Whether city sewer is available depends on your specific address and proximity to existing infrastructure. Lincoln's Public Works department can tell you if sewer service is accessible to your lot, and a local contractor can advise on the cost comparison between connecting to city sewer and maintaining a private septic system.
