Miami County, Ohio
Septic & Excavation in Troy, Ohio
Troy anchors the I-75 corridor in Miami County, with a mix of established residential neighborhoods, active new construction, and commercial and industrial development.
In-city properties are on municipal utilities, so our Troy work leans toward excavation, utility trenching, site preparation, concrete flatwork, and core drilling.
Outside the city, Miami County properties are on private septic, and the Great Miami River valley soils generally drain well enough to support conventional leach fields, which usually means a less expensive system than the same house would need on heavy clay.
We work with Troy-area builders on foundation excavation and building pads, fitting into build schedules that do not have slack in them.

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 We do not quote a number until after the soil evaluation, because anything given before that is a guess dressed up as a quote.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.
