FAQs

  • How deep do septic tanks need to be?

    Septic tanks typically need to be buried 1-3 feet deep, depending on local soil conditions and frost lines. Proper depth ensures system functionality and prevents freezing in Idaho winters.
  • What affects excavation project costs?

    Excavation costs depend on soil type, project size, accessibility, and depth requirements. Rocky or clay soils require more time and specialized equipment than sandy soils.
