Down In the Dirt Septic and Excavation

We’ve been pulling 16+ hour days trying to keep up with the storm clean up work in Jasper and Newton county. We will be heading back to Springfield Sunday to resume normal services. If you have damage you need removed or stacked and burned on your property please reach out sooner than later so we can make sure to get to you before we leave.

We are in the Joplin area with canopy solutions cleaning up storm damage if you have damage give either myself or Holden a call at 417-483-0711 or 479-541-9707.

If you are in the Joplin area and are in need of tree removal please reach out. I am building a list of people in need of tree removal to be able to resume normal life. Removal of trees blocking drives and keeping you from going about your day to day life is no charge and will be stacked on property. I am not looking to make money of the storm but also can’t go clearing down trees in the backyard for free.

**we can not remove trees off of houses but know a guy who can if that is what is needed**

Finished up this 3 acre brush cutting job today about noon. Yesterday we cut around the fence line and found a bunch of low and dead limbs. We brought the excavator out and brought down the limbs that were too low to mow under and finished brush cutting.

For brush cutting call 417-483-0711

Finishing up day one on this brush hogging job. Coming back tomorrow with the excavator to clean up the fence lines now that they are visible while the skid steer finishes the middle of the field. If your field is out of control call us at 417-483-0711.

If you live in Southwest Missouri and have a septic system, regular maintenance isn’t optional—it’s what keeps you from dealing with backups, yard damage, or a full system replacement.

We see it all the time—systems that could’ve lasted years longer if they were maintained properly.

Here’s what every homeowner should know:

✔️ Pump your tank every 3–5 years
Waiting too long can push solids into your lateral lines—and that’s where expensive problems start.

✔️ Be careful what you flush
“Flushable” wipes, grease, and chemicals can clog your system or kill the bacteria it needs to function.

✔️ Protect your lateral field
No driving, parking, or building over it. Once it’s damaged, repairs aren’t cheap.

✔️ Watch for warning signs
Slow drains, bad smells, soggy ground, or backups mean it’s time to take action—fast.

✔️ Don’t overload your system
Spreading out water use (laundry, long showers, etc.) helps your system keep up.

A little maintenance now can save you thousands later.

👉 If you’re not sure when your system was last pumped or inspected, we can help.

We handle repairs to full installs across Southwest Missouri. Send us a message or give us a call at 417-483-0711 with any questions we are happy to help any way we can.

Wrapped up this low pressure pipe system on Tuesday. With rain moving in, we pushed through the weekend, put in the extra hours, and made sure this system was installed and kept a home project on schedule.

From layout to final connections, everything was done with precision to make sure this system performs exactly how it should for years to come.

When deadlines are tight, we show up and get it done.

If you need septic work done right—and on time—reach out.

We are down in Newton county this weekend working to beat the rain on Tuesday. Today we got the lateral lines dug/filled with the base layer of gravel and tank hole started for this low pressure pipe system. Tomorrow will be another day of digging and we will start plumbing everything in.

If you are building a home and need to stay on schedule give us a call. 417-483-0711.
