About Sawtooth Mechanical & Construction in Great Falls, MT

Yes, excavation is a core part of our septic system services. We handle the complete process, from initial trench digging and site preparation for the tank and drain field to final backfilling. Our team understands local soil conditions and regulations in Cascade County and surrounding areas, ensuring a proper and long-lasting installation for your rural property.

Our thorough plumbing inspections for older homes in rural Montana check for common issues like deteriorating pipes, well pump performance, water pressure, and the condition of the septic system's drainage. We pay special attention to vulnerable points that can lead to freezing or clogs, providing you with a clear assessment and practical recommendations to maintain a reliable water and waste system.

Preventing freeze-ups is crucial here. We recommend insulating exposed pipes and the tank lid, maintaining a good grass cover over the drain field for insulation, and spreading out high-water-use activities like laundry. Avoid draining kitchen grease, as it can solidify and contribute to clogs that worsen freezing issues. If you're concerned about your system, we can perform a pre-winter inspection and suggest specific solutions for your property.
