There I was minding my own business when I walked into my yard and sank into a deep slimey, muddy mess…I thought I had accidentally overwatered but low and behold…wrong…the main water line leading from the street into our house failed more miserably than the last Blue Origin takeoff. Defeated and not having enough bourbon I gave myself 5 minutes to curse at everything then went to work(calling for help). Smith Excavating was recommended by a plumber friend. About 28 minutes later a big burley barrel chested red blooded American came rolling up to the house.

Response from the owner

Joe, thanks so much for the 5-star review and for the laugh, sorry you had to deal with that mess. We’re glad we could get out quickly, track down that failed connection, and have your water line repaired and flowing again within a few hours. We really appreciate the recommendation and your kind words.

Around Ellensburg, the main drain-field limit is slow water movement: water leaves the soil too slowly for a conventional field to keep up. Site conditions on any one lot can differ from the map. See the Ellensburg city page for the full soil profile.

Before You Call

Septic installation tends to land late in a build, when the schedule has the least slack. Smith Excavating's range runs from site preparation through installation and maintenance, so ask whether one crew takes a job from the first dig to the finished system. That answer shapes how many contractors you coordinate.
