About T&W Excavating

T&W Excavating is located in Yawkey, West Virginia, a small community in Lincoln County between the Coal River and the surrounding hollows of southwestern West Virginia. Lincoln County is almost entirely rural, with very limited public sewer access, which means private septic systems are the only option for the vast majority of residents. A contractor who combines excavation capabilities with septic service knowledge is particularly valuable in this setting, where new installations and system replacements require serious earthmoving work. You can reach T&W at (304) 951-3445.

Services & Process

T&W Excavating handles septic system installation and repair alongside their excavation work, covering everything from initial site prep to finished grading after a system is in the ground. New installations require digging the tank pit and drain field trenches to precise depths, placing distribution boxes, and carefully grading the soil to ensure proper drainage away from the home. For properties with failing systems, they can excavate old drain field areas and install fresh gravel beds and perforated pipe. Their excavation equipment also supports road building, pond construction, and general site clearing throughout Lincoln County.

Service Area

T&W Excavating serves Yawkey and the broader Lincoln County area, including communities along State Route 3 and the Coal River corridor. Surrounding counties including Boone, Kanawha, and Logan are also within reach for larger projects. Rural properties throughout this part of southwestern West Virginia are a natural fit for their combined services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is public sewer available in Lincoln County, or do most homes need septic systems?
Public sewer is only available in a limited number of areas in Lincoln County, primarily near Hamlin. The large majority of county residents depend on private septic systems, which makes proper installation and maintenance especially important since there's no municipal backup option.
What type of septic system works best on a steep rural lot in West Virginia?
On steep lots with limited flat area, mound systems or low-pressure pipe systems are often the best fit when conventional gravity drain fields aren't feasible. A soil and site evaluation is required before determining which system type your lot and soil conditions will support.
How long does it take to get a septic permit in Lincoln County?
The timeline depends on Lincoln County health department workload and whether soil testing has already been completed. In many cases, the full permitting process from initial application to approval takes several weeks, so building that time into your project schedule is important.
Can T&W handle both the excavation and the septic installation on a new home site?
Yes, having a single contractor handle site prep, excavation, and septic installation simplifies the entire process considerably. It avoids the scheduling gaps and communication issues that come with coordinating between separate excavation and septic companies.
What causes a drain field to fail prematurely?
The most common causes are infrequent tank pumping, which allows solids to carry over into the drain field and clog the soil, and putting harmful materials down the drain. Excess water use, root intrusion from nearby trees, and vehicle traffic over the field can also significantly shorten a drain field's lifespan.
Are there any restrictions on where a septic system can be placed on a rural property?
Yes, West Virginia regulations require minimum setback distances from wells, property lines, streams, and the home foundation. In Lincoln County, properties near the Coal River or its tributaries may face additional restrictions to protect water quality, which makes early site evaluation essential.
