About TNG Excavation

TNG Excavation is based in Emmett, Idaho, a rural Gem County community about 30 miles north of Boise along the Payette River. They carry a 4.3 rating from 6 customers, which reflects steady work in a smaller market where reviews are harder to come by. What makes TNG distinct is their combination of excavation and septic services. In a rural area like Emmett, where lots are larger and septic systems are the norm rather than the exception, having excavation capability in-house is a real practical advantage for installation and repair work that requires digging.

Services & Process

TNG Excavation's core strength is the combination of earth-moving and septic expertise. On the excavation side, they can handle site preparation, trenching for drain fields, and the heavy digging required for new septic tank installation. Septic services include pumping, inspections, and the kind of drain field repairs that require significant ground work to access and fix. Because they bring their own equipment, they're not waiting on a subcontractor to show up before work can begin. For rural properties in Gem County, that kind of self-sufficiency translates directly into faster project timelines.

Service Area

TNG Excavation is based in Emmett and primarily serves Gem County and the surrounding rural communities. They're well-positioned to reach properties in Cascade, Horseshoe Bend, and the areas along the Payette River corridor where private septic systems are standard. For larger installation or repair projects further out, call (208) 591-8090 to discuss whether they can accommodate your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need an excavation company for septic work?
Many septic repairs and all new installations require significant digging, whether to access a buried tank, install a new drain field, or replace damaged pipes underground. A company that combines excavation and septic expertise can handle the full job rather than requiring you to coordinate a digger and a septic tech separately.
How do I know if my drain field needs to be replaced versus repaired?
Signs of drain field failure include soggy ground or standing water over the field, sewage backing up into the house, and persistent odors in the yard. A professional inspection will check whether the issue is a clogged distribution pipe, which can sometimes be cleaned or repaired, or saturated soil throughout the field, which typically means replacement.
How long does a septic system installation take in Emmett?
A typical residential septic installation in Idaho takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, factoring in the site evaluation, permitting through Gem County, excavation, tank and drain field installation, and backfilling. The timeline depends on site conditions, permit processing speed, and project complexity.
What's a percolation test and do I need one for a new septic system?
A percolation test, or perc test, measures how quickly water drains through the soil at your property. It's required in Idaho before a new septic system can be permitted, because soil that drains too slowly can't support a conventional drain field. The results determine the type and size of system that can be installed.
Can TNG Excavation help with septic system issues on rural acreage properties?
Yes, their combination of septic and excavation services is particularly well-suited for rural and agricultural properties in Gem County where access and lot size make excavation equipment necessary. Larger properties sometimes have older or nonstandard systems that require more investigation and more ground work to service properly.
What are common septic problems in Gem County's rural areas?
Older systems installed before modern standards are common in rural Gem County, and they often have undersized tanks or drain fields that struggle with today's water usage levels. Rocky or clay-heavy soil in some parts of the county can also stress drain fields over time. Regular pumping and periodic inspections are the best way to catch these issues before they become expensive failures.
