- Frequently Asked Questions -

Septic System Installation FAQs

What types of septic systems do you install?

We install a range of septic systems to suit different property conditions, including mound systems, at-grade systems, septic field systems, and pump-out systems. Each system is selected based on site conditions, soil type, and local requirements to ensure proper performance.

How do I know which septic system is right for my property?

The right system depends on factors such as soil conditions, drainage, property layout, and local regulations. We assess your site and recommend the most suitable septic system to ensure long-term reliability and compliance.

Do you handle new septic system installations and replacements?

Yes, we provide both new septic system installations for new builds and septic replacements for existing systems that need upgrading or have reached the end of their lifespan.

What is the difference between mound, at-grade, and field systems?

Mound systems are used when soil conditions don’t allow for standard in-ground systems.

At-grade systems are installed above natural ground level and are ideal for certain soil types.

Septic field systems (leach fields) are the most common and distribute wastewater underground for natural filtration.
We determine the best option based on your property.

Do you take care of excavation for septic systems?

Yes, we handle all excavation required for septic installations, including digging for tanks, fields, and system components, ensuring everything is properly prepared and installed.

How long does septic system installation take?

Timelines vary depending on the system type, site conditions, and project scope. Most residential installations can be completed within a few days, but we provide a clear timeline before starting.

Are your septic systems compliant with local regulations?

Yes, all septic systems are installed in accordance with local codes and regulations. We ensure the system meets all requirements for safe and effective operation.

Can you install septic systems on acreages and rural properties?

Absolutely. We specialize in septic system installation for acreages, rural homes, and new developments where municipal services are not available.

What happens after the septic system is installed?

After installation, we complete proper backfilling and grading to ensure the system is protected and the site is left clean, stable, and ready for use.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a barn, cattle shed and small shop taken down. It was all done efficiently and at the end they walked the areas cleaning up. We were very impressed and definitely recommend them . 2026

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the worst driveway forever, it was pretty much a mud pit every spring and never properly dried out. I contacted HD&D in the fall of ‘25 to have them redo our driveway and clear some brush. Darcy and his crew came out and completed all the work professionally and expediently. I can honestly say now that the snow is gone our driveway is bone dry. My wife is ecstatic with the results and she is one tough customer to please. Overall a five star review. Just thought I’d come back and rave a little more about the quality of the work. After all that rain we’ve just had, 8 inches or better, there was not even one puddle anywhere in our driveway. Again, we cannot say enough good about the quality. Beyond 5 stars.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had HD&D Excavating dig our house foundation as well as run the water and sewer lines. Overall we are very happy with the work done. Darcy worked with me over email to break down and clarify the initial quote items and to coordinate scheduling. Brady is an incredibly skilled operator and was able to dig to within milimeters of our planned depth, and did a fantastic job of laying out the remaining backfill around the property, as well as accommodating some last minute requests.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So far we have had a great experience working with these guys! They came out and helped us figure out the best way to go about our project, gave a fair quote, and got the first stage of the work done very quickly! Looking forward to having them back out in the spring for the next steps.
