Question:

do excavators also do the well and septic when you hire them before building a house?

I'm doing this for the first time and im trying to figure prices for excavating, and getting well and septic?

Answer:

TWO SEPARATE MONKEYS, TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONS... WATER WELL GUY DRILLS WELL WITH SOME PROXIMITY TO THE ENTRANCE/SUPPLY LINE TO HOUSE HIS INSIDE TANK ( INDIDE IS BETTER ) - HE'S DRILLING A 4 HOLE +/- 250' FEET DOWN ( houston area )! SEPTIC NEEDS PLUMBING STUB OUT, USUALLY A SOMEWHAT FINISHED GRADE, MAY NEED POWER- IF PUMP SYSTEM ..... THEY ARE DIGGING BIG HOLE IN THE PROXIMITY OF WHERE THE PLUMBING EXITS YOUR HOUSE FOR TANKS, EITHER SHALLOW CONNECTING DITCHES FOR FIELD LINES OR SINGLE DITCH FOR SPRAY HEAD!
No, Excavators just excavate.
hi . the excavators will dig the septic tank hole, but they usually dont dig the drain lines for the leach field. plumbing companys prefer to hire their own subs to do the complete job.
NO, this work is too specialized for them to do. You would need to have your well drilled by a drilling company, then a plumber can do the septic and drain field.
