Septic System Installation and Replacement
Russ did several excavation projects for a large, complex backyard renovation I'm doing, including the installation of a secondary septic tank that pumps to our original septic field. Not only did he complete the work in a timely manner, but he helped me with several questions and headaches that came along the way during the project - whether they were related to his work or not. Russ is a truly nice guy who wants the best for his customers and will make sure to deliver for them! Thank you Russ!

Septic System Installation and Replacement
The goal was to build a sizable pole barn garage next to my house; however, my homes septic tank was in a terrible location that gave me at most 700 sq ft of build space. This was no problem for Russ and his team as they’ve done many septic tank relocations. He found a great spot for the new septic tank that allowed me to double the garage size!
Also, he prepped and leveled the site for the future pole barn garage saving me time and money in the process. Call Valpo Excavation and Septic the next time you’ve run out of solutions. Russ and his team can help!

Septic System Installation and Replacement
Russ at Valpo Excavation & Septic helped us with our septic replacement from beginning to end. He knows his stuff about not just septic systems and dirt-work, but also permitting, design, and paperwork. He and his team were very professional and kind at our house. I would absolutely recommend Valpo Excavation and Septic to anyone looking for septic installation, replacement, or maintenance.
Thank you, Russ and your team!

Septic System Installation and Replacement
Russ and Jared were excellent and we couldn’t be happier with the work. They put in extra hours when a few unexpected hurdles came up. They stayed until late night to make sure my family was taken care of with being able to use water! Communication was awesome! Price was great! Trustworthy all the way! Valpo Excavation and Septic are the go to guys! And they let our girls watch the show and entertain them :-)

Russ and his crew were very professional and efficient and installed a 60" x 40' culvert and 200' of driveway in two days! Russ also offered up some great ideas to make this a better and more attractive project.

We express our sincere gratitude to Russ Buechs and his technicians who recently serviced our septic system. Not only were they professional and efficient in their work but also incredibly kind and friendly to my family. My little boys were very curious about what he was doing, and he took the time to answer their questions patiently and with a smile. We truly appreciate his professionalism and his wonderful demeanor. We will definitely be recommending your company to others! Thank you.

We worked with Russ and Jared and we could not be happier with the results. I appreciate it when you call for a quote and they are transparent with pricing and what to expect. They worked efficiently and worked us into the schedule quickly despite the poor weather streak we had. They were very respectful of our time and property and even went out of their way to help move a few things we were struggling with.
