Miami County, Ohio

Septic & Excavation in Piqua, Ohio

Piqua sits at the northern end of Miami County's I-75 corridor, with an industrial base and a large stock of older housing.

Older properties mean older infrastructure. We do a steady amount of water service line replacement, underground utility work, and core drilling through aging foundations here.

Rural properties in the townships around Piqua are on private septic, and many of those systems are well past their design life. Full replacement rather than repair is the common outcome.

Agricultural ground north and west of the city has extensive field tile, much of it original clay. Locating and replacing failed runs is regular work in this part of the county.

It depends on your soil more than anything else. A conventional gravity leach field on well-draining soil costs meaningfully less than a mound system or an aeration system with a pump and control panel. We do not quote a number until after the soil evaluation, because anything given before that is a guess dressed up as a quote. Call for a free site visit and we will give you a firm written number.

The common signs are standing water or unusually green grass over the drain field, sewage odor near the tank or field, slow drains and gurgling toilets throughout the house rather than at one fixture, backups into the lowest drain, and an alarm sounding on an aeration or pump panel. Any of those means stop using water heavily and call. Continuing to load a struggling field is what turns a repair into a replacement.
