"Mr. Toney was very responsive, looked quickly at what we wanted him to do. made suggestions an he and his assistant navigated the backhoe through a heavily wooded area, on a pretty steep slope into location. We watched the operation with awe! He could almost peel an orange with that backhoe! Work was done quickly, including some hand touchup, and we were very pleased with the result."

Mid Valley Excavation is licensed and bonded for both Commercial and Residential work in the state of Oregon. Based in Sublimity, Oregon since 2012, Mid Valley Excavation provides site preparation and excavation services throughout Marion, Polk, and Linn Counties as well as the greater Willamette Valley region.

"Discussed the problem with my steep gravel driveway and its condition by phone. They were very complete in describing the tasks needed to be done, and when they came out 2 days later, they had exactly the right equipment and thoroughly did exactly what they said they would do, in the time they said it would take. The driveway is now graded smooth and evenly sloped, rolled, and compacted. It is in by far the best shape in the 20 years I have lived here. All at what I consider a fair, competitive price. And the crew that did the job was a pleasure to deal with. A very positive experience all around!"

"Background: I hired Oregon Environmental Services to diagnose problems with an existing septic system. The septic was determined to be non functional, so sewer hookup was the solution. The company completed the sewer hookup with no problems at the time. Issues: Several months after completion, the 40 foot trench settled 6-12 inches. I attempted to contact the company to fill in the settling, as they suggested when the sewer hookup was completed. Now their web site is not functioning, no response to email, phones are disconnected. It appears the company has disappeared. Second issue: Angie still lists this company has a ?pro?. It has been over 2 months since the company disappeared and Angie still lists it."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Salem, OR

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
