Septic systems are a critical part of any property not connected to a municipal sewer line. We design and install efficient, code-compliant systems across Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis County. At Utah Excavation Company, we ensure your septic setup is reliable and built to last.
What Is a Septic System?
A septic system treats and disperses wastewater on-site. It typically includes a septic tank, distribution system, and a drain field. Proper installation is essential to avoid groundwater contamination, health risks, and future repair costs.

Why Proper Septic Installation Matters
Installing a septic system requires more than just digging a hole. We assess soil conditions, site grading, and groundwater levels to design a system that will function properly for decades.
Benefits of working with our experienced crew:
- Local code compliance and permit handling

- Precision grading to ensure system performance
