This residential project in Inkom, Idaho involved the complete replacement of a failed septic system. The existing system had reached the end of its functional life, requiring removal and replacement with a modern septic tank and drain field. Our team excavated the old system, removed the failed components, and installed a new 1,000-gallon septic tank with a properly designed drain field system to meet all Idaho Department of Environmental Quality requirements.
This commercial project in Downey, Idaho involved the construction of a specialized cattle trailer washout station for agricultural operations. The project required precision excavation, utility installation, and concrete work to create a functional washout facility with proper drainage and waste management systems. Our team prepared the site, installed underground utilities and drainage systems, and coordinated with concrete contractors to deliver a complete, operational facility.
This project in Downey, Idaho involved the complete replacement of 300 feet of aging water line and the installation of a new frost-free hydrant. The existing water line had deteriorated over time, leading to pressure loss and concerns about water quality. Our team excavated the full 300-foot trench, removed the old line, and installed new high-quality water line with proper bedding material to ensure long-term reliability.
This complex septic replacement project in Idaho Falls required installing an advanced dual-tank system with pressurized drain field technology. The project involved adding an additional septic tank specifically designed to house the pressure pump system that feeds the engineered pressurized drain field. This specialized configuration was necessary due to challenging site conditions and soil characteristics that precluded a traditional gravity-fed drain field.
Professional driveway widening and gravel installation project for a residential property in Inkom, Idaho. This project transformed a narrow, deteriorating driveway into a wide, durable gravel surface that provides excellent access for multiple vehicles and improved curb appeal. Our team carefully excavated and widened the existing driveway corridor, established proper drainage and base preparation, and installed high-quality gravel with professional grading for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Professional foundation crack repair project for a residential property experiencing structural concerns and water intrusion issues. This critical repair project required precision excavation around the foundation to fully expose damaged areas, followed by expert crack sealing and comprehensive waterproofing to restore structural integrity and prevent future moisture problems. Our team carefully worked in tight spaces against the home to expose the foundation, sealed all visible cracks with professional-grade materials, and applied waterproofing membrane to protect the foundation from Idaho’s freeze-thaw cycles and groundwater.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about excavation in Southeast Idaho? We’ve got answers. If you don’t see your question here, give us a call.
How much does excavation cost in Idaho?
Excavation costs vary based on project scope, soil conditions, and accessibility. A typical residential septic system installation ranges from $3,000-$7,000, while foundation excavation for a new home typically runs $2,500-$6,000. We provide free, detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site conditions and project requirements.
How long does a typical excavation project take?
Timeline depends on project complexity and weather. Most residential septic installations take 2-3 days, foundation excavation for a single-family home takes 1-2 days, and utility trenching varies by length. We provide accurate timelines during the estimate process and always communicate if weather or unforeseen conditions require adjustments.

Yes! We’re familiar with all local permitting requirements across Southeast Idaho. While property owners are ultimately responsible for obtaining permits, we guide you through the process, provide necessary documentation, and coordinate with inspectors to ensure all work meets or exceeds code requirements.

Absolutely. Idaho’s volcanic rock and challenging soil conditions are exactly what we specialize in. We have the equipment and expertise to handle rock excavation that stops other contractors. Our specialized equipment and experienced operators make quick work of even the toughest ground conditions.
What's the best time of year for excavation work?
